Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) recently arranged for the delivery of an anti-Obama impeachment book to all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The book, Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama from Office, by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott, is published by the conspiracy web site World Net Daily, which also reported on Rep. Stockman's helping hand.
“Enforcing the Constitution and preserving limitations on executive authority aren’t just mainstream, they’re the law,” Rep. Stockman told World Net Daily.
Impeachable Offenses claims that President Obama has committed many violations of the U.S. Constitution that could qualify him for impeachment, such as delaying the implementation of Obamacare and granting waivers to some companies and Congressional staffs.
In January of this year, Rep. Stockman claimed that he had hired attorney Bill Olson to investigate if Obama could be impeached, noted RightWingWatch.org (video below).
"In terms of impeachment, that's one of the options in a quiver full of many options, including lawsuits and other actions, we can take to defend the Constitution,” said Rep. Stockman at the time.
Olson’s law firm says it specializes in “biblical wisdom” on its website.
(And for dumocrats like Sheila Jackson Lee and her type - maybe someone can read it to her.)
Also noting the digs on World Net Daily and the Bible. Obvious that a libtard wrote this acticle. It must gall them to no end that a right winger has an obvious solution - that is impeachment.
While I don’t expect to see Obama impeached, just maybe some will get a bit of an education.
What does “anti-Obama impeachment” mean? Does it mean against impeaching Obama or against Obama by impeaching him?
Stupid, amateur writing.
What?!?! These GOPe assholes can’t even delay an unpopular law, they’ll certainly never impeach this dictator, it’ll take a coup. The dems will just offer McConnell another plum, and he’ll fold like tissue paper.
That is "white man's law" and they don't have to follow it.
I agree. Impeachment? No Way.
The Kenyan ought to be frogmarched out of the Spite House with cuffs and shackles on. Then held at Gitmo and tried - AND CONVICTED - for treason.
Stockman is going to leave a proud legacy when he retires.
Patriots may not understand that they need the Senate’s support to impeach Obama. That ain’t gonna happen unless patriots elect a conservative majority to the Senate in the 2014 elections.
Impeachment is an indictment. The House votes for impeachment. Then the matter moves to the Senate for trial.
They won’t read it. What they care about is cocktail parties, good press and getting re-elected. We don’t exist for many of them except as an end to their means.
Right now impeaching Obama would not work even if you could get all the Republicans onboard. Not a single Democrat in the Senate would vote to convict. But if Obamacare goes further south and Obama’s popularity falls to say 20% then a few Dems in the Senate might quietly say they’ll go along so they’ll survive the 2014 election cycle. (21 Dems up for election vs. I think 14 Pubies.)
Since Impeachment cases are “tried” in the Senate, America needs more Republican Senators for impeachment to succeed.
So...
What are our eager-beaver “impeachers” DOING to bring that about?
Rallies against Democrat Senators?
Sit-ins in Democrat Senators’ offices?
Speak-ins at Town-Hall Meetings to embarrass Democrat Senators?
Marches against ObamaCare?
Or just self-glorifying snarking that blames our all-too-human GOP “leaders” for not being “tough” enough?
I’m betting that SJL RAN to the Spite House to give her copy to Obama personally....
Thanks for clarification. But at this time all that Obama is going to get regarding impeachment is a wet noodle like Clinton got.
Between now and January of 2015, it would take the guilty votes of 22 Democrats plus every Republican in the Senate including the RINOs to remove Obama from office via an impeachment trial.
...it’ll take a coup...
