”and remove” - aye, there’s the rub. In what universe does a Senate chaired by Harry Reid remove Obama? Of course it is vital that it be done - but the Senate won’t do it, and we have the experience of the Clinton impeachment to give pause to any House politician who considers it. So I guess we can’t realistically expect any Republican to impeach until 2015 - if then.Instead of passing a law that he can veto without looking any worse than he already does, pass a bill authorizing him to do approximately what he has been doing (by delaying ObamaCare), but threatens to veto. And if he vetoes that, then impeach him for violating a law which Congress offered to make null. But of course, even that course of action can take place ONLY if the Republicans take a majority in the Senate - and even then, a 2/3 vote for removal almost certainly could not be attained. But at least, an impeachment could be put on the books, even failing of conviction, without it being certain political suicide for the Republicans. If that impeachment failed of conviction, the impeachment power would officially be a dead letter. If it isn’t already.
The tendency for the dem majority in the senate to leave the criminal in office is not significant enough for the house to shirk their responsibilities. Let the senate do their thing. But the police and DA should not ignore serious crime because th judges are corrupt.
