Oklahoma’s state legislature isn’t messing around. They are so furious about President Barack Obama’s dangerous actions about transgenders in public school bathrooms, that they are officially calling for OK’s members of Congress to start impeachment proceedings. Obama’s actions have been unconstitutional, and boys and girls should be using the restroom according to the gender they were born with. It’s about time for impeachment!
Oklahoma’s Republican-dominated legislature has filed a measure calling for President Barack Obama’s impeachment over his administration’s recommendations on accommodating transgender students, saying he overstepped his constitutional authority. Lawmakers in the socially conservative state are also expected to take up a measure as early as Friday that would allow students to claim a religious right to have separate but equal bathrooms and changing facilities to segregate them from transgender students.
The bill introduced on Thursday night could force schools into costly construction, which would be difficult for them to complete after lawmakers significantly cut education funding to plug a $1.3 billion state budget shortfall.

Another big win for Trump. Trump deserves credit for this! Go Trump!
Can we add on all the other unconstitutional “decrees”?
huh? I thought the US House of Representatives voted to Impeach the president not the Oklahoma House of Representatives..Go Trump
How many tranny students do they have in Oklahoma? If they have one, they should be identified to the school before using the restrooms. Then they should get them an out house. That would be cheaper.
building them their own school would probably be cheaper.
Thank God someone’s doing this finally. Impeach and expel this embarrassment, this Kenyan clown show.
This is a classic Tenth amendment case:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I guess it’s a start. But lets not forget everything else this thug has done that warrants impeachment.
The effort is not likely to succeed, this late in his presidency, but I am delighted people are venting their rage about it, loudly , articulately and publicly.
A little late you think? I wonder if this will piss Obama off and will show his true colors right before election.
He will saber rattle to cut off all funding to the state and blame it on the Republicans.
Watch him threaten to cut off social security checks, medicaid, school funding, highway funds, welfare and everything else if they don’t tow the line.
Like I used to tell my kids “as long as I’m paying the bills, you’re gonna follow my rules”
States (and people) are too dependent on the feds.
Obama is always pissed off...at America and Americans.
obama and the democrat party members are Nero and Caligula rolled into one.
Only about 7.5 years too late.............
States (and people) are too dependent on the feds.
...in my opinion the fastest cure for the problem is for “people” to stop sending money to the IRS, instead the State Treasurer should be the recipient. They then decided after the State’s needs have been met, how much remains to send to DEE CEE.
YES!!!
So much of this stuff belongs to the states.
great symbolism, lacks substance unless plenty of ‘independent” Americans reject a third BHO term in the form of HRC.

LOL, I used to hear the same thing but this is a bit different in that in our families the old man was the wage earner (emphasis on EARNER) while with the gov’t the money is not earned but rather it is taken from us.
Hurray times a thousand.
