As Democrats privately admit to themselves that there was no Russian collusion, they’ve also shifted gears to focus on the question of obstruction of justice. Despite the Mueller investigation being loaded with anti-Trumpers, even they weren’t able to say that any obstruction occurred. If there’s anything the release of the Mueller report has exposed, it’s not criminal behavior or even impeachable offenses of President Trump, but rather the hypocrisy of Democrats who are willing to call anything an impeachable offense with Trump but pretended the corruption that occurred under Barack Obama was all above board. By any reasonable standard, Congress had multiple impeachable offenses they could have gone after Obama for, but didn’t. Their turning a blind eye to Obama’s corruption completely undermines their efforts today to scandalize Trump and proves that they see two standards of justice: one for Democrats, and one for Republicans. Here are five examples of impeachable offenses that Obama should have been held accountable for, but wasn’t.
5. Illegally creating new laws and entering treaties
Obama’s dictatorial approach to governing would manifest itself many times during his presidency, and any one of them should have had Congress using their check on executive overreach, the power to impeach, but for reasons that can’t be justified, it never happened. One such example is Obama’s unilateral writing of immigration law. It is quite clear that Congress has the power to write immigration law, but Obama decided that since Congress wouldn’t act (and by that, he meant to do exactly what he wanted) he'd simply create a law with his executive pen. When the DREAM Act failed to pass Congress he simply began enforcing it without Congress’s consent by issuing an executive order, known as DACA. It was unconstitutional (even Obama repeatedly admitted that he didn’t have to power to create immigration law) and his blatant disregard for the Constitution should have resulted in articles of impeachment being drafted immediately. Lack of accountability to Congress emboldened Obama to expand DACA, but that expansion was quickly fought and defeated in the courts.
In addition to his delusions of dictatorship when it came to writing laws, he also completely ignored the Senate's constitutional role in approving treaties. When it came to his precious and disastrous nuclear treaty with Iran, he knew the GOP-controlled Senate wouldn't ratify it, so he just pretended he didn't need their permission. The same thing happened again with the Paris Agreement. In both cases, Obama cared more about writing his presidential legacy than he did about the Constitution and utterly ignored it.
4. Illegally rewriting existing laws
The most notable example of Obama unilaterally changing existing law without the consent of Congress was Obamacare. According to the Galen Institute, by January 2016, there were at least 70 changes to Obamacare, and “at least 43 of the changes to the Affordable Care Act have been made unilaterally by the Obama administration.”
Obama also unilaterally redefined the meaning of existing laws in order for them to concur with his agenda. In 2016, the Obama administration warned all public and private schools receiving federal funds that “gender identity” was now protected under the 1972 Title IX statute, which protects against sex discrimination. What this effectively did was bully schools into allowing boys to use girls' bathrooms and locker rooms and dorms. Suddenly, “transgender” students' right to use whatever bathroom they felt like trumped the privacy of every other student who might object to having to undress in front of a member of the opposite sex. This also meant that boys declaring themselves “transgender” could play on girls sports teams, and as I’ve covered in the past, this has resulted in male students dominating athletic competitions and ruining opportunities for real girls.
These and other examples are proof that Obama considered himself above the law and the Constitution of the United States.
3. The illegal war in Libya
Democrats often tried to paint the War in Iraq as an illegal war, despite the fact that Congress approved of it, and used that as a basis for calling for George W. Bush’s impeachment. But, when Obama didn’t even go to Congress to start a war in Libya, you didn’t hear any such calls.
Even if you forget the disaster that became of Obama’s war in Libya, what seems to be forgotten is that we never should have been there in the first place. Obama knew Congress was not going to approve of military action in Libya, so instead of going to them for an official declaration of war, he went to the United Nations to get authorization to remove Muammar Gadhafi from power—bypassing Congress’s authority, and as The Washington Times put it, “dilut[ed] the sovereign power of the United States.”
Obama’s illegal war in Libya proved to be a total disaster. The killing of Gaddafi ultimately led to the destabilizing of the country, enabling ISIS to expand their territory there. Even Obama admitted his actions in Libya were a mistake—but only because of how it turned out, not because of how we got there.
2. Rampant obstruction of justice
I recently documented five high-profile examples of investigations obstructed by Obama and members of his administration and each one of those was an impeachable offense, had Congress had the cajones to hold Obama accountable. But the truth is that obstruction of justice was standard operating procedure in the Obama administration from day one. Midway through his second term, more than half of the nation’s inspectors general wrote a letter to Congress accusing the Obama administration of systemic obstruction of ongoing investigations. That letter should have resulted in the appointment of a special counsel… but Attorney General Eric Holder, who famously called himself Obama’s wingman, wasn’t going to let that happen. In fact, neither Holder or Loretta Lynch, Obama’s second attorney general, ever appointed a special counsel, despite ample times where one should have been appointed. Obama didn’t just appoint attorneys general to lead the Justice Department, he appointed protectors to keep Obama from being held accountable for corruption.
1. Spying on Trump and protecting Hillary
There is no question that Obama spied on the Trump campaign. We know this happened. We know that this spying was justified using a bogus dossier funded by the Hillary campaign. What began as a means to undermine Trump before the 2016 election ultimately became a means to undermine his presidency. The Mueller investigation, a 22-month effort to uncover alleged Russian collusion predictably turned up nothing, and thankfully, Attorney General William Barr appears to be willing to do something to find out how the illegal spying began. Combine this with Obama’s role in meddling with the investigation of Hillary Clinton, and we get what is truly the biggest political scandal in history. Richard Nixon, had he not resigned, would have been impeached for much less than the crimes of Obama here.
How about going on national television and telling people to vote even if they are not American citizens!!!
This one thing should blow EVERYONES mind American or not! What kind of executive leader of a country purposely tells people who are not citizens of his country to vote in a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!!
...sorry. This gets me mad.
Obama was a lawless man.
He was an abomination as president.
Trump, the supposed “dictator,” is restoring the rule of law.
He is an excellent President.
Pusillanimous Republicans will be the real death of the republic.
Obama was never naturalized. He wasn’t eligible to run, and no one wanted to be called a racist for questioning his story. He was born in Canada to an unwed teen American who was, in 1961, too young to be able to confer her USA citizenship upon the baby she was originally going to give up for adoption. Father was not a US citizen, married with children in Kenya.

No longer a sitting _resident, impeachment is off the table. Incarceration is not.
That occurred in "The Fuddy Hoax," a faked "catastrophic engine failure off the coast of Molokai, as BHO was tying up loose ends regarding the falsification of his Long Form Birth Certificate (LFBC) and three Verifications thereof.
The decades-long CIA asset that played the lead role in the LFBC forgery was a reportedly sweet, but aging vulnerability, who conceivably could have been deposed before the court or Congress, and whose actions were the frequent UIPA (Hawaii's version of FOIA) target of my book and research partner so often that the researcher was dubbed a "vexatious requestor."
Barry's election fraud ventures didn't begin with the 2016 Presidential election. Don't forget his going to Egypt at the very beginning of his first term to kick of his support for the Muslim Brotherhood (a chapter for which the Egyptians are still hoping we'll extradite BHO so he can enduring due process there). Several other nations felt Obama's foreign influence for regime change in "Arab Spring." Tunisia, Yemen, and Libya, felt his (and Hillary's) penchant for BHO's theme of regime change through "color revolution."
Let's not forget Obama's spending US taxpayer money to try to book Bibi Netanyahu from office. Obama was trying for a massive election sea change throughout the Mid-East!
For his domestic initiates, they displayed the standard BHO fingerprints of "leading from behind." He hadn't taken care of his Selective Service registration properly, still had loose ends for his Social Security number, and of course, as we all know, his inability to have taken care of deficiencies with his birth certificate caused--among so many other things--his influence to get Neil Abercrombie Governor of Hawaii. He famously, braggadociosly was going to get to the bottom of the LFBC problem. Instead he crashed and burned, and somehow, an unknown CIA-connected lady was brought in to turn over all the waste baskets and look behind all the Hawaii Department of Health copy machines.
Lo and behold, there she says she found it... at the proper volume and page of certificates where it was supposed to have been all along!
The (newly minted) certificated was presented for the White House Correspondents by CIA asset and White House counsel, long term chairman and founder of Perkins Coie, Bob Bauer. (Perkins Coie has long been the registered agent for the Chinese government--see AlGore's Buddhist Monk campaign funding fiasco.) Bob Bauer has written definitive books on the legalities of US elections. Of course, even in these most recent years have seen the Obama White House continue to use Perkins Coie in election-related matters, as a cut out between the DNC/Hillary Campaign and Fusion GPS.
For BHO personal lawyering, Bauer's protégée, Judith Corley took over, transporting purportedly two copies of his LFBC from Honolulu's HDOH to the White House.
The former CIA Riyadh station chief, J.O. Brennan, also US State Department contractor, CEO of Analysis Corporation had during the BHO Administration ascended to Direct of the CIA. As such he controlled the USS La Jolla, a $2B USNavy submarine that uniquely and typically carried a SEAL Delivery (See photo collage) on its dorsal side.
Although an initial FOIA response to the Navy indicated none of its craft were involved in the search and rescue off Molokai that day, a later FOIA response almost two years later, disclosed that the La Jolla was assigned to be off the northern shore of Molokai, uniquely on that day. Only the name of the sub and its assigned area that day were disclosed by the USNavy, with all other information--even 26 months after the event--remained classified (Now why in the world would that be?).

Left out not being a citizen of the US. Hidden school records would provide the proof.
OF course not-—He was still a citizen of Indonesia. His mommy dropped his American citizenship when she moved to Indonesia & took up Indonesian citizenship for both her & Barry.
When she shipped Barry back to Grandma in Hawaii, NO ONE ever refiled papers for his American citizens ship.
He is worse than an anchor baby——
He is a world MUTT.
The notation in an Indonesian School record that he was Indonesian is possibly simple hearsay. (I, nonetheless, suspect it could have been a valid indication on the basis of an Indonesian passport that has been kept hidden.) Because the notation could have been hearsay, is why I think no one in authority in the US, AFAIK, considers it proof of his Indonesian citizenship.
Even if SADunham and/or Soetoro would have been the source of such a claim, such a representation on little Barry’s would not have forfeited his interests in a valid claim to US citizenship, even though Indonesia apparently doesn’t support the concept of dual nationality for its citizens.
That said, I’m quite sure no document (yet seen, at least) authentically attests to Barry’s US citizenship. The first US passport we know of for Barry was one given him as a result of being elected a US senator in 2004. His Fuddy-produced LFBC has been shown to be fraudulent via several lines of evidence, reasoning, and proof. (That of course, should go down as one of the frauds of the century!)
Dunham’s scratched out ‘Soebarkah’ (her US passport renewal application of 1968) reference that may have been intended to refer to Barry may have been disallowed inasmuch as it didn’t refer to a valid child reference to Barry on an earlier passport of hers. If an earlier US passport of hers did refer to Barry, she was required to attach an explanation to be included in the future to properly deal with important responsibility. Such an attached explanation cannot reasonably have “just gone missing.” Therefore, it must be understood as never having existed.
I’m persuaded, however, to think the Soebarkah reference more likely was an attempt to accomplish an increase in US documentation for Barry, but that it would have been disallowed because Barry was not so listed on earlier US passport for Stanley Ann Dunham.

Actually, the Senate has TWO punishments it can impose after an impeachment conviction.
The first, removal from office, applies only to current office holders.
The second, disqualification from any office “of trust or profit under the United States” can apply to anyone.
For example, the Senate, upon conviction, could prevent Obama from being appointed to the Supreme Court IN THE FUTURE.
