Do you think the GOP will try to impeach Obama if they gain a majority?

[Oakvale]

Simple as the question above.
With the rabid Tea Party wing of the GOP screaming for impeachment, and worse--Which I think makes for a much more politically heated climate than even the Clinton years--do any of you see the GOP at the very least TRYING to impeach Obama if they gain a majority this November? It doesn't have to happen immediately; It could happen anytime between January of next year and January 2013 or 2017.

It doesn't have to wait.

Texas Democrat Calls For Removal of Obama Now Under Terms of 25th Amendment

You don't often see a black Democrat calling for the impeachment of Obama.

IIRC that's the LaRouche woman.

[Thom01]

HAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAH HA... no.

What has he done that's even remotely impeachment worthy?

I don't think we've gotten the full story on the whole Tony Rezko/Blago/Jackson Jr./Jarrett/SEIU thing yet, but then again we might not ever.

Not to mention the birth certificate controversy.

Yet, in response to the question posed: Why would they want to? The Dems have been the ruling elete's shill for the passage of communistic legislation for almost a century now. And there are just as many on the other side of the aisle who support this agenda as there are in the Jackass party.

Some retarded hack who wants to garner some attention will probably try to.

Texas Democrat Calls For Removal of Obama Now Under Terms of 25th Amendment

You can't even "impeach" someone under 25th amendment. Technically, Obama would remain president, while Biden would become Acting president.

In any case, this women watched too many episodes of 24. That's from the show's second season IIRC.

So in your world the US has been a communist country for a century? Interesting.

The funny thing is how much of a ripoff of Obama's her site is in design style.

[Stranger in a strange land]

On what grounds?

Unless he's committed a clearly impeachable offense, it would be a huge tactical error to even try.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Please tell me which sitting prominent pubs are calling for it if they gain a majority?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Remember that most Republicans don't even believe Obama is constitutionally eligible.

There is zero chance they're going to formally take that position up in any kind of impeachment......none.

If a whackjob like him is the only one, it's not going far.    But thanks.

[Thom01]

Not unless something really bad is discovered.

You mean able to be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, don't you.

A lot of credible facts have already been "discovered" about Barry's past that gives one pause to doubt his rhetorical claims. It's a matter of whether the powers that be are willing to take things beyond that stage and allow the media to disclose proof of the allegations.

For example, we've known for decades that John Kennedy was likely assassinated through a conspiratorial plot involving more people than just Lee Harvey Oswald. And CBS sNoose in a documentary proved back in 1964 that the three shot theory from the book depository building was virtually impossible to achieve with that Mannlicher carcano rifle in the time frame that was being looked at. The powers that be didn't want anything coming out that would disturb their scenario and the public's perception of it. And the same thing is happening here with Hussein Obama.

Issa will head the commitee that does the impeaching.

But c'mon TG, the end game is Issa will investigate everything from foreign policy to how much toilet paper the White House uses, but there's no desire amongst the pubs to go down in flames like they did with Clinton.

He got intimidated by Rush Limbaugh today, ala that Georgia Congressman a year ago. In the interview, Issa said he plans to investigate not only the Obama administration but also "some stuff that occured in the previous administration", citing how he had been "bullied six ways from sunday after he came out against Tarp, by the Bush Administration".

They will only impeach Obama if they find something illegal. If they do fine serious law breaking then they should do their consitutional duty and impeach him, otherwise, hell no.

[WillK]

Did they really go down in flames?

The GOP did hold both houses in 1998 so its not like it was a complete rejection of what had occured.

The survival of Clinton is more attributed to the brilliance and power of the Clinton's politically and the failure of the GOP to prevent the Dems from defining and setting the terms of the debate.

[anvi]

Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.  That's the Constitutional standard.  It's not about policy decisions, it's not even about any and everything that is illegal.  Where the office of the president is concerned, t's mostly about a proven direct betrayal of the country to a foreign power or acts that compromise the separation of powers in the government which the Constitution establishes. 

Of course, I stopped believing all Republican rhetoric about how much they care for the Constitution in 1998, when the Republicans used impeachment in an abjectly unconstitutional fashion.

[Badger]

Well, if you're asking, will we have a Dennis Kucinich-esque attempt at impeachment with maybe 15+ reps?  Sure, it's possible quite likely.  Will we have a legitimate attempt (I'm talking even just 15+ 50+ representatives)? No.

Inks was close. I corrected it slightly for accuracy.

[Frink]

I'm curious. Would any GOPher here approve of an impeachment of Warren Harding given what is now known about the extent of the Teapot Dome scandal?

and as a follow up.. What about the impeachment of Clinton?

From what I know of the Tea Pot Dome scandal, that wasn't Harding being corrupt so much as it was his cabinet being corrupt, so i wouldn't support it there.

As for Clinton, as someone who believes perjury is a big deal, I'd support it on those grounds.  As for the initial reason, not so much.  Private vices are perfectly fine in my book--it's just when they actually start to interfere with your job that they become relevant.
