Impeachment may sound good, but it’s meaningless. Even if the House votes to impeach, the Senate will not vote to remove.

The lawsuit is an excellent idea and attacks the problem head on.

It the “law suit” goes like everything else gubmint does, it should be about ready in March of 2020, by then, like Hitlary said, “What Difference Does It Make”?

You're correct. Impeachment is meaningless and futile due to the Dem-controlled Senate. The votes are not there.

In addition, an impeachment process will just unite, motivate and turn out the Obama/Dem base as the November election looms.

A daily impeachment publicity bombardment by the media would virtually eliminate focus on vital campaign issues, i.e., economy, jobs, amnesty, obamacare, scandals, Dem administration lawlessness, etc.

The Boehner lawsuit is enough at the moment. Draw up articles of impeachment against the bastard after the election to keep him tied down as much in possible in the dangerous two years left in his term. And if we hold the House and take the Senate, the impeachment might be successful.

Now is not the time.

This is just as hollow as an impeachment effort would ultimately be, but it allows the House of Representatives to appear to be doing *something*, while avoiding the strife that an impeachment vote would bring. It's all meaningless.

Strongly disagree as the lawsuit is merely for show. Lawsuits are an invitation for delays, most likely on a procedural basis. In other words, Obama would probably continue his second term without meaningful resistance. One of my major problems with Republicans is they are whiners. Rather than do something about a situation, they’d rather sit back and complain looking for sympathy. Citizens deserve leadership, not more of Obama!

It’s not a constitutional option.

If Boehner think the president has acted in violation of the constitution, then his obligation is to bring up articles of impeachment.

A lawsuit is a stupid idea. It’s just Kabuki theatre. It’s designed to just mollify the masses. You can’t get a lawsuit through the court system before Obama completes his fourth term. It has to go to trial and then through the appeals process. It could take 10 years. And what will the court order him to do? Will Obama obey a court order? Has he complied with any subpoenas lately?

Fool’s errand.

Just impeach the Bastard. That what the Constitution calls for. That is what is needed now.
