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

This is why something is going to happen before November, (he plans on legalizing illegals) or something already happened, i.e., voting -wise. (electronic voting machines are successfully under the control of democrats)
“Losing” the IRS emails should be enough to do it in the real world. Nixon went down for way less than that.
Actually you don't need the Reid rule. If the house chooses to impeach, the Senate has to hear the impeachment. But I agree with waiting until January and not screwing up November. We have to remember that Clinton's popularity rose after impeachment.
You are 100% correct. Right now, Obama is seen as a lightweight, and a bumbler. Even most blacks would privately agree with that.
But if Obama is impeached but not convicted, all of that would change. Obama would be seen as a sympathetic victim, not as a bumbler. Much the same thing happened with Clinton. Impeachment turned him from a lecher into the sympathetic victim of Kenneth Starr.
Do not impeach in the House unless you can convict in the Senate. Wait until a smoking gun appears, something that will disturb even senate democrats.
Since they are a bunch of snivelling cowards . . . don’t look for them to defend us from enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC any more than Moe-bama-hamad.
Agree. We're going to have to have more Dems with us if impeachment is a real possibility.
Otherwise, Obama comes out more popular just like Bill Clinton. And that would be a NIGHTMARE.

Been there for >20 yrs. My bit of tax protest, started when our state raised taxes on my turn-favorite beer.
Plus homebrew tastes a lot better. No more factory swill.
Amen Nachum ... Amen.
Impeachment is only done by the House, similar to an arrest by a policemen.
IF? IF??? The administration blatantly gives you the finger on irs emails and it’s IF?
You are right there. But just to have the charges brought against him on impeachment in the House would be a good way to get the message out to more of the uninformed Americans than what the MSM is doing now. It might be that the full hearings would last until the end of November. If we get the Senate they the impeachment would be presented to the Senate by a Republican speaker and a vote must be taken. Might lose here but at least the American people would finally realize that all Democrats are really communists.
Like what??? What could he possibly do that Senate Democrats would bat an eye about or care about?
Right. And that's why I indicated we don't have the 2/3 Senate to find him guilty, because that's where the trial takes place.
I'm in favor of impeachment after the election. If we can't take control of the Legislative Branch this year we are doomed.
I doubt it.
The Senate can’t do anything unless the House Impeaches first.
No Impeachment, no chance of removal.
Similar to arrest first, trial later.
No arrest, no chance for a trial.
Get all the marbles in the bag and get this started. This clown is destroying this country to the point of no return.
