Any chance Boehner has the stones to say, “you WILL be impeached...”

He should perhaps say it (as a threat), but no way should he actually attempt to do it. Impeachment would succeed in the House, but conviction would certainly fail in the Senate. Then the Boy King can play the part of martyr. It would strengthen his hand, and make the GOP look vindictive.

IMHO, Boehner should make preparations to defund Obama's favorite programs. If Obama should dare to rule by decree, stop him by using the power of the purse.

Just to be argumentative...

When clintoon was impeached, the senate was dem, so obviously there was no chance. It's different now (or at least after the new congress convenes).

I don't think Boehner would say that unless he knew he had the votes in the senate.

I guess you don't think the repub senate would convict? After all the articles that would be brought up against him?

Nixon resigned because he knew the senate would convict. It never had to go to a vote then. But I guess 0 would have to be dragged out.
