Fox News' Bill O'Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.
If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode, O'Reilly said Friday night on his Talking Points segment during his top-rated Fox show.
At the same time, O'Reilly said he did not believe reports that the Obama administration would grant such a blanket amnesty.
Fox News, however, reported this week: The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.

Reports that the Obama administration is weighing ways to circumvent Congress have Republicans worried. On Monday, eight Republican senators sent the president a letter saying they are concerned that he will grant unilateral amnesty to America's illegal immigrant population if his efforts to overhaul current U.S. policy fails in Congress.
The letter called on Obama to abandon any attempt to "unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. Such a move would further erode the American public's confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books."

” if the pubes try anything.”
Man! If my “pubes” try anything,,, I’ll shave those things off!
“No, Clinton was not neutered. Trent Lott helped him recover, but he would have recovered anyway because the people believe in him”
Ok, I’ll bite: can you give me some examples of something of significance he was able to accomplish following impeachment?
Removal from office requires 2/3 vote in the Senate. Anyone explain how that’s going to happen?
protect and not protest. Lousy laptop keyboard (and typist).
“Trent Lott helped him recover”,
well worth remembering..least we forget.
Right now, impeachment seems like a long shot. But you never know what external events Obama will be confronted with and how he will mangle them. If the Republicans get to control both chambers and Obama’s polls drop to sub-zero, it will be impossible for him to govern; and even the Democrats, in the interest of self-preservation, might abandon him.
#1 - they have to be caught and accused of being illegal before they can be pardoned.
#2 - Pardoning them for being here illegally does NOT automatically make them citizens.
DiLorenzo Is Right!!!!!

I have wondered the same thing. Apparently, Homeland Security has the authority to "pardon" people on a case by case basis for things like visa violations. So someone who has overstayed a visa can be "pardoned" and allowed to stay ... not made a citizen, but granted permission to stay rather than live in fear of deportation.
The scuttlebutt is that this corrupt administration is holding talks into whether it can use this authority to do a mass pardon.
If Dear Leader and the Leftist Loons are intentionally or otherwise, looking for the spark which could very well ignite a "REAL" revolt, this could very well be it!
Even more especially when Obama's more fanatical supporters declare their willingness to march on DC and string up any Senator that disses their guy?
The amnesty would be for the civil crime of entering the country illegally...IOW, make them legal residents.
I don’t think they would try to declare anyone citizens.
BOR is an eff’in moron. I about barfed when he dredged up that scenario last night ... as if there’s a chance in HELL it would ever happen ... and reminded me why it’s been about 3 years since I last watched him. What a joke he and Beck are.
BO/BS can’t be impeached. Only a President can be impeached. He isn’t President since he is not a natural born citizen.
