I have prepared these formal Articles of Impeachment as a Constitutional lawyer. They are in proper legal form and I believe all allegations are provable. They will be sent to Congress with annotations.

Resolution Impeaching Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
[snip]A. Ordering the Environmental Protection Agency to implement portions of the Cap & Trade bill that failed to pass in the U.S. Senate.
B. Ordering implementation of portions of the “Dream Act” that failed to pass in Congress.
C. Orchestrating a government takeover of a major part of the automobile industry in 2009.

E. Signing an Executive Order on March 16, 2012 giving himself and the Executive branch extraordinary powers to control and allocate resources such as food, water, energy and health care resources etc. in the interest of vaguely defined national defense issues. It would amount to a complete government takeover of the U.S. economy.

G. Signing an Executive Order on January 6, 2013 that contained 23 actions designed to limit the individual right to keep and bear arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The House could impeach Obama every week from now till next November and it would do nothing except p-off the Democrats. The Senate would hold a vote and find him innocent.
US Constitution, Article I, Section 2 ..."The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers, and shall have the sole power of Impeachment."
The Speaker of the House should be contacted - by a few million Americans - to pass and present Articles of Impeachment to the US Senate.
Do it, 0bummer needs impeaching.
Yea right. Congress is complicit in the crimes and just as guilty. Barry or whoever he is will not be touched.
So keep tilting a windmills or whatever. Our Republic is dead! We are a bankrupt nation. Monetarily and spiritually and there is only one thing that will change it.
So now what are you going to do? Protest! Ha!
Spooky dude and the orifice of Omaha could care less they have their billions safe and sound. We however are going to suffer greatly.
Will we find lawful _law_, in USG or even on the earth?
You are correct. And even in your wildest dreams, could you vision John Mc Cain and Lindsey Graham voting to remove him from office? And while we are on the subject of McCain and Graham, the way Matthews is said [I used “is said” because I am going by what was posted on this forum]to be saying about his boy Obama, Mc Cain and Lindsey must be nosing him out of line for Obama’s “favors”.
Go through the phone book, for temp replacements.
Sit a temp congress to hold the trial.
then Impeach the Supreme court, get some honest judges (might be hard).
Impeach SFB take him to the nearest light poll as prescribed in the law and meet out justice.

It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned, and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.
For members of congress, JCS, any and all law enforcement:
18 USC § 2382 - Misprision of treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
For Holder and other DOJ crooks.... (DOMA, implementing Obamacare)
18 USC § 2384 Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Ship them off to Rat Island, Alaska.
Give them each a baseball bat.
Check back next June to see how they worked it all out.
The House acts as a Grand Jury in the impeachment process, it doesn’t matter whether the Senate actually gets the Bill of Impeachment. The Grand Jury can investigate and subpoena a witness on Public TV and just maybe some of the truth will get out into the Public domain.
The truth must be told, one way or the other.
Please elaborate as to your thoughts on proper representation.
More power to him. The resident should have been impeached in his first term.
I’m not sure, I’m not a great thinker. hahahaha! I only know enough to make a mess.
I do know that the first thing we need to do is repeal the Seventeenth Amendment. I think it is almost certain that we wouldn’t be experiencing what happened the last few weeks (years even) if Senators were still elected by state reps.
I think we need more reps since the population has grown so much, I think it would sooth those who want to split their state, too. Less would get done and that’s a good thing!
I don’t think they all need to be living in DC now that we have the internet. They could meet in DC quarterly or some such?
Mike Church used to talk about this a bunch (more reps) but I haven’t listened to him in a long while. They changed his time slot to move in Beck and Church was driving me crazy with everything Ron Paul— so I dropped SIRIUS.
The only possible audience, therefore, for a bill of impeachment is the general public. You must hope to delegitimate the administration politically, over the opposition of the Democratic Party, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of journalism, itself wholly owned by the wire services - essentially, the AP.
Such being the case, I lean towards the idea that an impeachment bill should read like, and perhaps should directly quote, the Great Impeachment - better known as the Declaration of Independence:
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
As opposed to 1789, when the ratio of 1:30,000 meant 65 congressmen, each congressman today represents about 720,000 Americans (and illegals).
I wouldn't mind doubling the number of reps. It would reduce the number of predictable lawsuits over redistricting every ten years.
Okay, so the house holds a hearing and votes to impeach.
Then what? It goes to the Senate for trial.
1. Can Reid block the trial?
2. Can the minority party in the Senate perform discovery during the trial?
3. How quickly could the Senate dismiss this, which presumably the democrat controlled Senate will want to do.
4. Can the hearings stretch out and keep Obama busy?
NOW IF WE CAN WIN THE SENATE IN 2014, then we have a good shot at Impeachment of not only Obama, but could also impeach Sebelius, Biden, Sally Jewel (Secretary of Interior), Sarah Hall Ingram (IRS official responsible for implementing Obamacare).
So Chief Justice Roberts would preside over the hearing. And a committee of Representatives from the House would serve as prosecutors.
After Roberts' capitulation on Obamacare, I'm not sure we could hope for Roberts to hold Obama's feet to the fire.
But clearly, we'd have GOP prosecutors, assuming Roberts let them present their case.
