Personally, I would far rather see Biden as president than Obama.

Having said that, there is a big difference between lurid sex accusations and, amongst other things, using the IRS to destroy the liberty of the American People.Do you have that IRS smoking gun that leads to Obama? If so I say impeach. If not you would just be spinning your wheels and increasing his popularity.

Not to mention that’s what an opposition party does.
If only we had one.

It’s easy to impeach, but do you think the rats will remove that arrogant pos? Keep on dreaming, it is not going to happen

To: GoldenPup
Why? Because the other guys control the senate, dum dum. Even if the GOP wins the senate this year, they certainly won't have the 2/3 majority it takes to convict. Total waste of time, money, and effort for no gain whatsoever!! Rediculous!! What is ridiculous are the contrived rationalizations not to take action to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution--a sworn obligation. If Obama legalizes 6 million lawbreakers, issues them work permits and SSN's, and allows them to travel freely in and out of this country, the only Constitutional recourse is impeachment. It really doesn't matter if Obama can be convicted or not.
Is Obama immune from impeachment no matter what the offense?

Did they for Nixon?Nixon wasn't impeached. Evidently, he felt they had the smoking gun, Republicans in the House and Senate felt they had the smoking gun because he resigned.

Hopefully the next POTUS doesn't blanket pardon him. Oh, come on. You know he will! Who's most likely to refuse Barky a pardon, among "likely" GOP candidates? Anyone?

To: DeaconRed
Main reason NOT to impeach: Joe Biden: You got it backwards. A Biden interregnum, even a full term, would be a giant billboard for voting GOP. He'd make Karl Rove look like Superman, Jebbie look like the Green Lantern.
Now excuse me while I go urp a while.
To: Kaslin
Within reason, there should be restraint on any House of Representative to impeach a president. It should not be an easy option to choose.
On the other hand, if there really are egregious, serious high crimes and misdemeanors, then the House should hold back for no political calculation. We elect them to do what’s right.

a serious mistake that would rapidly move public opinion, that currently is slipping away from him on issue after issue, right back into his corner. It's hard for me to figure out why this is.
If more and more people are seeing that the Grand Kenyan is a bad choice, then why does removing that bad choice make him a better choice?
