Possible, but not probable. The lying, marxist LSMs are too invested in “their boy” to allow that to happen, plus the House and Senate don’t have the spines/guts/stones for it. 3 more years of hell to go.

Republicans, the party impeachment, of lynchings, starving the poor, and raping women. These would be the first talking points then blood would run in the streets of America and the Republicans would be the party that caused riots and murder. I don’t think anyone would have the stomach.

And get Biden instead?

You are correct.

The only thing I can think of that would be worse than the obama-idiot-in-the-white-hut is the biden-idiot-in-the-white-hut.

Biden is so damned ungodly stupid that we would probably have even worse government than the idiot obama has foisted upon us.

Sure, it's possible, but there is nothing the democrats would like better than for us to impeach Bambi.

It would get their base riled up, the media would have the best time in a decade beating up on the dwatted wacist wepubwicans.

It's a lose, lose, lose proposition.

Worse, Biden knows what he is doing. Which would be a real problem. Of course, I think he is pulling the strings anyway.

It would take a 2/3 majority in the Senate, which is impossible (i.e., even if we* win EVERY Senate race this year—which won’t happen—we would still be a vote or two short).

*note: by “we,” I mean the GOP, even though it’s likely that not every GOP senator would vote to convict. Just one more reason it’s impossible.

Obama would not be impeached on the basis of one lie about his sexual pecadillos. He is guilty of violating the constitution, underming the Republic and violating his oath of office - TWICE.

Unfortunately. Not gonna happen.

He can be impeached now. Impeachment is just a trial. It is fact finding. The Democrats fight it because they know it will affect their PARTY. This just proves that they place the Democrat party ahead of their COUNTRY.
The purpose of the Democrat party is to elect thieves to office so that they can have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

With the unfolding train wreck of Obamacare anything is possible including Dem’s who watched (past tense,i.e., after the elections this fall) in horror the un-election of Hagan, Warner, et. al., as a result of 40-50 million losing their insurance over the course of the coming year.

Impeachment (in the House) and any subsequent trial (by the Senate) is a political response to presidential actions, regardless of the “high crimes and misdemeanors” phrase. There is not sufficient political will among the Republican members of the House of Representatives to seriously consider it, let alone carry it out. Nor is the coming mid-term election likely to change that, though it could well bring other advantages.

The problem with impeachment is that it presupposes and, in fact, affirms that the person legitimately acquired the office. Anyone who acquires an elected office, but was never qualified to do so in the first place has committed criminal fraud and deceit in the electoral process making the election illegitimate and a nullity in the inception. The remedy against someone who fraudulently gains office is to prosecute the unlawful offender for fraud. Obviously, in a totally corrupt political environment, the political hurdles existing for impeachment also prevail for prosecution. A special prosecutor needs to be appointed. If that power has been ceded to the Executive Branch, it needs to be taken back to the Legislative Branch.

Absolutely go ahead and impeach — TODAY!!

The impeachment itself will be embarrassing as hell, whether or not (most likely not) that the Senate votes to convict. And the impeachment becomes part of the historical record, win or lose.

But don’t forget there’s a big election coming up! Ain’t NO candidate for Senate who wants to be known for voting to let Obummer off the hook for his shenanigans! And yes, we will be taking names!

It will tie up the progression of any of his new policies. He might have to actually prepare himself for impeachment and that will destroy his free time.

Three things make impeachment impossible: First, the RINO leadership of the GOP doesn't have the gonads to do it regardless of what Obama does to deserve being impeached. Second, as they did with Clinton the Democrats will stand shoulder to shoulder to defend Obama. If they could defend Clinton's patent perjury in a sordid sexual affair they could defend anything Obama might do. Lastly, the media would rally to Obama blaming the GOP impeachment as being racist, a witch hunt,a threat to democracy etc.

I am convinced that Obama could suspend elections and declare himself dictator with little more than a whimper from the GOP leadership and do so to the applause of Democrats and the media.

Though legal, no legislator would dare begin the impechment of our first black PRESIDENT.

Call it the fear factor.
