Again you totally ignore my request for your citation ...be that as it may, I have already told you several constitutional ways that congress can act. Moreover the states have the power to act as well.
The constitution (since you don’t want to cite it) says merely that “the president, the Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office upon impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” That is article two section four.
There is no mandate there at all. It is prescriptive if the majority of the house votes to impeach followed by two thirds of the senate voting for conviction. Because you or I may consider one to be guilty of said crimes does not mean that congress is in any way compelled to act on my belief. You can hate that all you want but the constitution does not mandate anything in this regard
And you ignore mine. Stalemate.
I get it. You want Barry in office so the Dems can’t use impeachment as a campaign issue and to hell with your country in the meantime. Party over principle. Got it. If thats not the case it’s the impression your rewrite of history gives me. And it would seem, others on the thread.
Niftster, MORAL DECENCY mandates that we impeach him.
By failing to demand impeachment, we are betraying America and Americans. We are betraying them in exactly the same way a parent betrays a wayward child by shielding him from having to face the consequences of his bad behavior.
This isn't about what will "work" or whether or not Obama will be convicted. This isn't about "teaching Obama a lesson."
This is about being true to what is RIGHT. It is what the Forefathers would have wanted us to do. If Republicans don't impeach Obama, they will regret it for many years to come.
