Can being extremely inept lead to impeachment? There must be a way to get him out ASAP before he can do anymore damage.

In the Presidential oath of office, the President is sworn to uphold the 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."

The Preamble to the Constitution includes the phrase:

"provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity".

Any President who is leading the country into disaster could be impeached on the grounds of not fulfilling their Constitutional duty related to defence, general Welfare and securing the Blessings of Liberty to posterity (too much debt).

Of course, very few of the political class in America would regard citizens has having any redress involving what the Federal government subjects them to, so this would solely be done af the perogative of a Senate where most Senators think only of their own political future.

In their wisdom, however, the Founding Fathers created a Constitution that will subject all citizens to the brutal destruction of Obama's policies, therefore chastising the electorate for the error in their 2008 decision to elect him, and reinforcing in our citizen's minds the timeless truths that the left wing denies.

It may well take enormous pain before most people anywhere left of center in America really admit that a statist approach to government works to their disadvantage.

One can see that obviously no one on TV yet has expressed what the problem is clearly and correctly, even when they say things like "too much government" or "too much regulation". They should be saying simply that they will methodically go about eliminating most of government and transitioning the little that it actually does to the private sector. To their defense, real conservatives already in the race like Bachmann (it's really just coming down to her, IMHO, at this point), can't - at this point - say they want to eliminate, as that would give enough ammunition to their detractors (like government employee unions) to effectively knock them out of the race. One can't go out too far on a limb early on in saying exactly what one really intends to do - instead, one needs to speak about one's vision. The classic case is Herman Cain having to walk back his anti-mooselimb rhetoric. It would have been far wiser to parry the thrust of the Cabinet question than to go on the record - even though the original statement resounded extremely well with real conservatives. The political calculus is: he already had dyed-in-the-wool conservatives, he needs to be going for people in the center, and speaking to very staunch conservatives like me "in code". This has to be adhered to until one wins the primary and has pieced together a strong coalition within one's party, at which time some more startling rhetoric can be used to differentiate from the opposing party and inspire those who are not inspired.

We have to get past the primary until the Republican candidate can start differentiating themselves from the Democrat by dropping explicit hints about elimination as opposed to reduction. Until then it has to be in code. As conservatives, we can only hope and pray that if elected, the next President would be a non-Democrat and would get out the chain saw on both regulations of citizens and companies, while successfully pushing the private sector and States into taking over what the Federal government does except for the bare bones. We have many things that need to be phased out that are obsolete ideas, the chief of which is institutionalized promotion of immorality, another is government borrowing (there is no need for it); of course there are many others.

That all being said, if things get bad enough and the Senators start getting afwaid, I would not at all be surprised to see the fastest bi-partisan agreement you've ever seen to type up and process an impeachment and remove this usurper. IMHO, they'd probably work up a deal to get rid of plugs as well, since he's far too tied to all that's been going on and rather off his coconut.

You just can't make this stuff up. The stupidity of much of American leadership in politics and big business never ceases to amaze me. IMHO...
