The Freedom Club Republicans are out of control and threatening the stability of the government.  Obama should use his executive power to arrest them all for treason and declare their seats vacant.

Putting aside the wisdom of that (nutter), three factual errors in the above come to mind: 1) there is no executive power to arrest absent an indictment, requiring the involvement of the judicial branch, and of course the prosecutors office to pursue one, 2) refusing to elect a speaker or refusing to raise the debt limit, or whatever, is an exercise of legislative power set forth in the Constitution, and thus no crime at all, much less treason, and 3) Congress declares seats vacant, not the executive branch, and that would never happen absent conviction. Who knew?

Yes but Obama has already proven all of that Constitution stuff to be irrelevant in taking executive action.  One more couldn't hurt, right?
