Unsuccessful attempt could undermine GOP efforts to reverse amnesty order

Capitol Hill Republicans have furiously denounced President Obama’s executive action on immigration as illegal, unconstitutional and an abuse of the power of his office — but they get skittish when the talk turns to impeachment.

Even Rep. Steve King, one of the most fiery opponents of the president’s “executive amnesty” for illegal immigrants, backed away from his previous calls for impeachment.

“I don’t want to do the ‘I’ word. Nobody wants to throw the nation into that kind of turmoil,” the Iowa Republican told CNN immediately following Mr. Obama’s executive action.

But this kind of turmoil, destruction of the Republic, is okay?

They have a DUTY to impeach.

The result was that the next time a Presidential election was held, a Republican won. Americans had enough of the Democrat Party making America look bad.

It would help if ever time b.j. clinton is mentioned his legal status was mentions... “Please welcome impeached president of the United States of Amercia, bill clinton and his wife, hillary.”

If the msm can continue to introduce michael brown as the “unarmed teen”, then we can surely use legal verbiage to introduce bj!

Let’s do it!!

Bill Clinton’s popularity with the Democrat Party sure didn’t help his wife win the nomination, did it?

Democrats are scum so of course they love the scumbag Clinton.

They will love the scumbag Obama forever too.

If they want us to impeach Obama so bad, then we should give them exactly what they want. Right up the ass.

He still hasn’t shown his BC, draft card, or a legal SSN. Maybe a quick check with the DMV can end his Presidency.

Somehow I doubt zero has ever legally driven anything but a golf cart his entire life.

NOBODY gets around the DMV, he didn’t even try.

I don’t care if he becomes a martyr I just want him ousted before he can do anymore harm. Speaking of harm, the democrats may be destroying themselves but are harming many in the process.

>>> Personally, it’d be just as good to remove the State of the Union address and make it a written report instead, thus denying him a chance to stand in front of both the House and Senate, and make a public speech.

Oh... but that would be racist... and would be treated by the media even more harshly than an attempt to impeach him.

See... the GOP is simply damned if it does, and damned if it doesn’t... So,

I say be damned in the process of doing the right thing...

Get his ass out of office! or be complicit in his lawlessness!

Career politicians playing optics. If president should be impeached, he should be impeached, despite optics. But, rejoice! Republicans now control both houses!


Obama will be impeached as soon as there is a national consensus on impeachment and the American people demand that he be impeached.

When this happens, the Democrats will lead the way on the impeachment.

Until then, any impeachment proceedings would be counter productive and a waste of time.

The Republicans are letting the American people know that the only way Obama will be impeached is if they demand it.

So starts the process.

Impeaching zero will result in the same scenario. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Guess what?

Not Impeaching zero will result in the same scenario. Those who ignore the Constitution are not only misguided they are lawless themselves.

“I just want him ousted before he can do anymore harm”

Yes, but you know, he wouldn’t be ousted. It takes a super-majority of 2/3 of the Senate to convict and that’s just not going to happen. Not at this point in time anyway.

I’m glad that those who prosecuted Manson didn’t worry about such tripe. They effectively state that they’d rather allow lawlessness with impunity than take a chance on an unsuccessful prosecution.

Amen to that!

I believe at this point it really is the LORD alone who can save us as a nation.
