While speaking with Fox News' Neil Cavuto, Judge Andrew Napolitano said impeachment is the only way to stop President Obama from ruling by executive fiat, Newsmax reported Thursday.
"The president is doing the opposite of what he was elected to do," he said. "At some point he is totally frustrating what Congress has written."
He also told Cavuto that when Obama takes unilateral action, picking and choosing what laws -- or portions of laws -- to enforce, he is actually telling people how to avoid the law.
The president has unilaterally delayed portions of Obamacare without going through Congress, and he has taken other executive actions on issues like the minimum wage, gun control and immigration.
Although some Republicans have threatened impeachment, Napolitano said that as a whole, neither Congress nor the American people have the guts to see it through. Another problem is the current makeup of the Senate. Even if Obama were impeached by the House, a Senate controlled by Democrats would never vote to convict or remove him from office.

Take the Senate, then we might have a chance.
Well, that ain’t going to happen.
GOP is scared of it’s own shadow. Chicken chits!
Sounds like Obama is quite a Lawless fellow.
Guess we will see. I think there are going to be some real surprises in the Primary. GOPe had best get comfortable with setbacks.
There is CERTAINLY enough publicly available and objectively documented evidence of all “O’s” infractions.
There isn't a politician in the United States who has taken the liberties and defied the rule of law as often or to the extent “O” has, and escaped censure.... WHY can HE?
Actually Impeachment is not the only option.
Can nullify EO’s and CFR rules by Congressional overrides.
Has even been proposed by libs such as Stephen Breyer because they know all of it is un-Constitutional.
If the RINOs had any sense they would use this as a campaign issue to convince people to turn over the Senate to them.
But that would imply they had sense, like I said....

Can we have a “double feature” impeachment of both Obama and Crazy Uncle Joe? After all, they are complicit in their crimes.
I agree. But whatever it takes it must be done.
Far more than the 2. You forgot Hillary.
We will need MaCarthy hearing #2
Followed by charges, trials, conviction, sentences, punishment.
And the only way to root out the Communist vermin in DC is to eliminate their jobs. It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments including their SWAT Teams.
First build a case that most of the public is going to understand.
We don't want another Clinton/Lewinsky repeat.
There should be hearings first on election honesty and manipulation. Build a case. Once the Democrats have been exposed as corrupt, then impeachment of Obama himself becomes much easier and natural.
Rushing to impeach without doing a thorough investigation of the entire Democratic party is a mistake.
Note for upcoming COS effort: need an amendment to cover Executive RICO.
Na, they are simply as corrupt as the president and if they act they know the liberal media aka scribes of the oligarchs will bring it all out and they will all go down together.
I see nothing wrong with your argument.
But the Media needs to be put under the microscope too.
“Getting elected and taking the Senate isn’t enough.
First build a case that most of the public is going to understand.”
Hopefully, people aren’t too dumb to understand ‘Sheriff Arpaio has documented evidence that Soebarkah’s birth certificate is forged, and he’s been using 3 different SSNs.’
However, if MSNBC tells people “That’s OK,” maybe they’ll parrot back “That’s OK” and just accept it.
I’m wondering if the populace is #1 Hypnotized, or #2 Suicidally dumb.
Right!
GEE! Billy Boy was impeached for his PERSONAL misdemeanors while in the oval office... I mean, these were strictly his smarmy and crude dalliances and otherwise professionally objectionable activities WHILE in office....
Why NOT call “O” on HIS pattern of dangerous and abjectly illegal conduct?
Actually Impeachment is not the only option.Exactamundo. Bama's a 'distraction'. The people have only one way of wielding power in DC and you cite it.Can nullify EO’s and CFR rules by Congressional overrides.
Has even been proposed by libs such as Stephen Breyer because they know all of it is un-Constitutional.
If the RINOs had any sense they would use this as a campaign issue to convince people to turn over the Senate to them.
But that would imply they had sense, like I said....
The mid-terms are more important than most comprehend, and that, my FRiend, is why I believe it's too late. (plus all the seemingly successful pressure on conservative-organizing) (cynicus)
Nope. Conviction and removal requires 2/3 of the Senate. I doubt it is even mathematically possible for the GOP to control 2/3 of the seats after the next election.
Which leaves aside the fact that it is doubtful whether even 2/3 of the GOP senators would vote for conviction.
Well, what is your prescription to fix this?
He can still be impeached and go down in history with Clinton and Johnson with that stain on his presidency.
He won’t ever be convicted in the Senate, but it might slow him down. I’m not so sure he could recover like Clinton did since Clinton still had the Reagan recovery going for him.
