GOP Rep.: House ‘Probably’ Has the Votes to Impeach Obama
Mediaite ^ | 6/16/14 | Josh Feldman

A Republican congressman said in a radio interview today that the House probably has the votes to impeach President Obama, if things got so bad that impeachment became their only recourse. Congressman Lou Barletta told Gary Sutton that the issue of impeachment is an important one to address with Obama “absolutely ignoring the Constitution and ignoring the laws.” A couple of Republicans have floated the idea of impeachment and the House having enough votes for impeachment before, and Barletta’s no different, claiming there’s a good chance impeachment could pass the Republican-led House if they took a vote. “For those that

No way 2/3 of the Senate would find him guilty.

doesn’t matter let them vote and be recorded for history.

Time to put the Hero of benghazi in check and impeachment proceedings will get his attention.

Plus, it’s the right thing to do.

“Make sure you have the votes in the Senate too.”

PLEASE make sure you have a reasonable number of Democrats supporting too...otherwise we’ll blow the Mid-Terms.

IIRC, we had the Senate when Bubba was impeached and we were unsuccessful in removing him.

“if things got so bad that impeachment became their only recourse.”

No its not their only recourse. At this point they should be thinking seriously of invoking the25th Amendment and removing him from office. It is that bad.

LOL! Having a gop leadership that isn’t in bed with dear leader might help too.

Ok. Now a positive idea for change. Ever consider brewing your own beer? It’s cheaper, tastes better than the swill sold in the stores, and you don’t have to pay beer taxes. Also, beer has a long tradition of being the elixir of political discourse.

Don’t wait on the senate.

Get the proceedings started now. Use the evidence in the upcoming elections.

If the public were more aware, they may not vote for those who went along.

Well, we all know that isn’t happening. Reid wouldn’t even let it get to the floor.

and can we all assume, impeaching both of them?, when a president chooses to golf during an international crisis that will affect our own nation, thats enough cause for impeachment, what are they waiting for,? another 9/11?

Impeaching a criminal with dark skin in America is a fools errand. Obama could have Saturday night beheadings of Tea Party members on a weekly basis and their still would not be enough votes in the senate to convict.

Until Hairy ‘the shive pusher’ Reid has a heart attack and retires to Hell where he belongs, the abomination of degeneracy that is little barry bastard boy will not be impeached and removed. The republicants will not impeach the bastard because they fear the press will crucify them for it, the press being the fifth column enemy within the gates that they are.
