Well, the House could still impeach him regardless of what the Senate does - in theory anyway, but there aren't the votes for it even in the House. Not only not the votes for it, not even close to the votes for it. So the House wouldn't even be able to refer a successful impeachment to the Senate for trial.
Even if he does, what happens when the spinate is locked because neither side will cross the aisle to find obungo guilty?
It wouldn't be locked. It's far more likely that if it were brought up the majority of Republicans would vote against it. Harry Reid would probably be thrilled to bring such a thing up if he could because he knows it would rally Obama's dependent base who are currently not paying much attention to politics. The cries of racism alone would be a big boost for the Democrats in 2014.
Sarah Palin can say this because she isn't an elected representative of anyone or anything. It's easy to argue for things that don't have public support as a political commentator or from her perch on some realityTV show. Doesn't mean her points are wrong, only that elected office holders have to weigh public opinion and she doesn't.
What is it that people don't understand about this being a pointless exercise of gumflapping when the public is not even remotely close to supporting such a thing? Impeachment is a political endeavor, if the public doesn't support the effort it is counter productive waste of time. There is no way the public is ever going to support impeaching the first black......err half black...President. The man could eat a live baby on TV and the public would probably would find a reason to just let him pass his remaining years in office. Heck, they might not even support censure for even that.
You don't know that. Listing his crimes would expose him and the "go along to get along" crowd wouldn't have any cover.
We the People need to get LOUD.
You, dear, are talking out your patoot, in polite parlance.
You have zero clue as to what "the public" is close to supporting, especially if you eliminate illegals and fraudulent "public" votes that decide elections. If not for frauds, malevolent forces like Reid, Franken, and Obama wouldn't even be in office.
You know, to the Democrat's Pepsi, Republicans aren't even Coke. They're decaf diet Coke, no guts at all, not even a buzz.
It is unfortunate we have the mid-term elections coming up because of the effect it will have on the zero infobots if impeachment gets on the front burner. For those who remember the Clinton impeachment, we saw the Republicans lose five House seats in the 1998 election and no change in the Senate. This marked first time since 1822 that the party not in control of the White House failed to gain seats in the mid-term election of a lame duck President’s second term. It is as if the Dems are baiting the Republicans with Zer0’s bizarre actions. They would love to start talk of impeachment. That way they can gin up their lazy base and mount a stronger challenge to the Republicans. We may be seeing the Democrats laying a trap for the elections. It is how they work.

“He could massacre a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached.”
All the while, the press would ask Mooselle what kind of spice rub he used and praise her for her potato salad while drinking the White House Kool-Aid.
I would love to see an impeachment. I have cried for impeachment on the Free Republic. However, it is part of the living room conversation reserved for the adults. It is fantastic we have Sarah Palin in the room to start the conversation rolling. As for the zer0 infobots, they can stay in their bedrooms and play with their Facebook and Twitter friends and talk about who has the sexy booty. I want them to be oblivious to the mounting storm awaiting the Dems next November. I want them to forget about voting in November as they forgot about our nation, when they voted the second term for that Yahoo called Zer0.
