Judge Napolitano: Impeachment Is The Only “Legal Remedy” To President Obama’s Executive Amnesty
Fox News Radio ^ | 11/21/2014 | Tom Sullivan

Posted on 11/21/2014 4:28:57 PM PST by Brown Deer

If President Obama grants executive amnesty to an unknown millions of Americans, there’s only one way Republicans can stop him — impeachment.

On Thursday’s show, the Judge told FOX News Radio’s Tom Sullivan why the President may have to resort to such extreme measures. He says, while Presidents do have right to practice prosecutorial discretion when it comes to immigration, Obama’s proposed actions risk nullifying the law altogether. And that’s going too far.

There is not a majority in the Senate big enough to make it worth while.

The G.ive O.bama P.ower party has ruled
impeachment out, as before,
and then they hurried home to hide again,
and to encourage more antiConstitutional behavior again
from the First Undocumented Sociopath,
as they have done before, over and over.

They are EXEMPT and DO NOT CARE about the People
whom they rule below themselves.

None of the Republican politicians are talking about Impeachment. That’s why I think it’s precisely what they will do -— next year.

I believe the President cannot pardon somebody who has not been convicted of a crime.

Anybody know?

Impeach. Remove from office. Arrest. Convict. Imprison for life.

Impeachment turned against the Republicans because Clinton was still relatively popular with the public - Nixon was on the way out when his own party turned against him and pulled the rug out from under him - with Obama’s approval rating this week down to 37%, he may just be getting into an area where he is in fact vulnerable....

Which is exactly what a court will say... “Constitution says right here that you can impeach him.... I don’t see anything else on this”

One point of clarification:

Nixon was NEVER impeached.

He had more respect for this country than either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.

it is not going to happen.

It is over. The left and the GOP-e are one.

It is like killing one rat in your garage and hoping the new rat will not chew and eat your stuff. They are still rats.

Bastards.

Ford pardoned Nixon who was never convicted of anything.

If the House impeaches, they could keep the 0bama regime on the defensive for a while. Then, when it goes to the Senate for trial, maybe enough democRATs won't show up, and the 54 Republicans can call a quorum, and get 2/3rds of the senators present to convict the Kenyan Marxist.

A pardon is technically dependent on a conviction, but as was pointed out, Ford issued a pre-emptive pardon of Nixon.

Jimmy Carter granted amnesty from prosecution to draft dodgers.

The limits of prosecutorial discretion are not defined, and are arbitrary.

This is Article IV Section 4 of the U. S. Constitution.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence. LINK

The President of the United States swears an oath. Here is that oath.

It is found at the bottom of Article II, Section 2 of the U. S. Constitution.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. LINK

This is only one of several ways a president could be challenged for having done what Obama has. He is tasked with preventing the states from being invaded. He has shirked that obligation. Further, he is not tasked to facilitate it.

A sitting governor could challenge him on this. That governor's state having been over-run by illegal aliens, that governor has every right to demand they be removed, not made legal.

What Obama has done is unconstitutional.

“Could he not just issue pardons to all those wet backs?”

He can pardon them for past actions, not future ones.

On second after the ink dries on his signature, they are all illegally in the country.

True. Watergate was a media coup.
