The new Congress elected in November will surprise everyone. They will seriously consider impeaching Barack Obama.

Growing under the radar of the mainstream media is a movement that is gathering momentum.

Over one million citizens have signed petitions calling on the US Congress to impeach Barack Hussein Obama. Some of the soon to be elected new members of Congress are amongst those who have signed up, and they are not about to be cowered by establishment Republicans scared silly of the issue.

Ultimately it comes down to a commonly shared belief amongst Tea Party activists that Barack Obama is systematically trying to hurt America. Obama, the argument goes, is not an incompetent boob in over his head. Nor is he is not some well-meaning community organizer who has seen his plans go astray.

Barack Obama is a dishonest, manipulative liar who actually is pursuing an agenda that he hopes will take America off the international leadership stage. He wants America to fail so that the vision of Internationalist socialists can be realized. America is hated by the elite intellectuals of the world because we have been the single biggest roadblock to their plans to establish a one world governing system with them in charge.

Americans has consistently rejected socialism. Whether it is Hillarycare or Obamacare, Americans are speaking with a loud clear voice against socialism.

The left hates America because of our belief in God, our belief in rugged individualism, our belief in private property and our belief in the right to Keep and Bear Arms.

It is only through impeachment that the new Congress can send Barack Obama a clear and unambiguous message that he does not have carte blanche to run roughshod over America.

Impeachment is the political tool given by the founders to correct abuse by a President. Impeachment is often misunderstood because of confusion about what exactly constitutes an impeachable offense.

Former-President Gerald Ford, while serving in the House of Representatives, said an impeachable offense was, “whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.”

Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution reads: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The key phrase here is "high crimes and misdemeanors,” a concept in English Common Law that was well-known to our Founding Fathers but is grossly misunderstood in this day and age.

"High crimes and misdemeanors" essentially means bad behavior.

Here's a passage from C-Span.org which succinctly and beautifully summarizes the historical significance surrounding the inclusion of the term "high crimes and misdemeanors" in the Constitution:

“’High crimes and misdemeanors’ entered the text of the Constitution due to George Mason and James Madison. Mason had argued that the reasons given for impeachment - treason and bribery - were not enough. He worried that other "great and dangerous offenses" might not be covered... so Mason then proposed ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ a phrase well-known in English common law. In 18th century language, a ‘misdemeanor’ meant ‘mis-demeanor,’ or bad behavior."

In other words, "high crimes and misdemeanors" does not refer to a criminal act (as some would lead you to believe) and our Founding Fathers fully intended to allow for the removal of the President for actions which are: gross incompetence, gross negligence or outright distasteful.

And for those who mistakenly hold the illusion that impeaching Barack Obama would be a simple matter of "playing politics," the Founders fully intended that the impeachment of a sitting President be a political act.

The Founding Fathers deliberately put impeachment into the hands of the legislative branch rather than the judicial branch, thus transforming it from strictly a matter of legal definition to a matter of political judgment.

The Obama Administration qualifies as the poster-child for bad behavior.

Obama and those around him are ravaging this great country and adding a sorry chapter to a noble history.

Impeachment, as written in the Constitution, was tailor-made for Barack Hussein Obama and our Founders placed it in our Constitution for such a time as this.

They better consider the consequences if they try as I fear there will be more than a few riots. They thought the mall was dirty after his swearing in, you wait until he is tossed out.

He's an incompetent boob in way over his head.

Neutralize him for his remaining two years and the voters will take care of business in 2012.

nothing like a bunch of idiots trying to figure out what to do with the jig in the white house...

he has not done anything to get him impeached yet. bush stole two elections, lied about wmd's, refused to investigate 9/11 and passed a unconstitutional patriot act.

obama is an illegal citizen...that is the best shot at getting him but the courts are owned by the globalists and they also own all presidents...

you are just pissing in the wind to think anything will happen to obama.

It would be nice BUT we as a country do NOT have the kahunas to do anything but talk about it.

It is a sad day in this country's history we have failed the Founding Fathers with our lack of courage and intestinal fortatude.

Biden and Pelosi in the White House.
That is a nightmare.

Remember when they talked about doing the same to Clinton?
Gore was worse.

Consider the end.

After the election I pray Pelosi will not be in line for anything but lunch at the hot dog stand, as hopefully she will not be the Speaker of the House anymore. But you are right about Biden he would be a nightmare in the biggest order. I think that is why Obama picked him as VP as who would take a chance at taking out Obama when they know Biden is next in line. :roll:

I can see how you'd believe that about the 2000 election, but 2004? Don't tell me, it was a conspiracy

lied about wmd's

From here forward, when you make a mistake about something (which is most of the time) I'll ask why you're lying.

shamu said:
refused to investigate 9/11

What was the Senate 911 Commission report all about? Oh, that's right, another conspiracy because they didn't investigate WTC7

shamu said:
passed a unconstitutional patriot act.

If it was unconstitutional I'm sure the donks would have done something about it. Oh, that's right, they're part of the conspiracy.

Impeachment is foolish. It would just ensure that the divisive attitude in this country would be perpetuated.

In any case, the senate requires more than a 50-50 vote to impeach and that just won't happen.

Even Nancy Pelosit had better sense that try to impeach Bush.

What we are talking about is what we have elections for.

It took a while but someone finally had a voice of reason on this thread.

Only because Nancy Pelosi had no charges to impeach Bush. :roll:

Neither did Buckwheat. You can bet if they did, a trial would have happened by now.

Impeachments can happen after a President is out of power, from what I have read.

It would take almost 2 years to get done anyway.

I don't think it would be the best idea, but it would sure put a damper on the Dems. trying to do what they did in 2008 again. The voters might even learn to vet a candidate before they vote for him/her next time, instead of after.

Mike,

they could have proven he was guilty of murder. that would have probably gotten him impeached...at a minimum they could have gone after him bringing male prostitutes into the white house as an offense once he lied about it under oath...same as they did to clinton...but, bush never once went under oath for anything....never about 9/11 nor cheney....they could have gotten them both...

I thought Obama passed the Patriot act??? My memory is not that good, did Bush have something to do with it also? I can only remember back a few months ago when Obama signed it........Surely Obama would not continue bad things Bush did?
