the president for impeachment

I was logging in to CS and there it was, the most intriguingly acute, million dollar question: Should Obama be impeached?

My question is, on what ground?

While many presidents have been accosted of such a paralyzing accusation including but not limited to Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon, not one was truly impeached during the 20th century.

Should we change our laws to accommodate modern crimes? What do you think?

Note: It looks like the current administration is incapable of managing our government based on our expectations.

Thanks all for your reads and comments. frustrated confused

I seen that too I don't think he should get impeached. maybe given ebola or something lol
He's wrong not sending troops

after ISIS
Below is from our article of the US constitution.

"At the federal level, Article II of the United States Constitution (Section 4) states that "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 House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments."

I had to go back and confirm that indeed we can present for the conviction of the government officials based on this article.
@ lindsyjones - wave .. Personally, I believe all politicians should be impeached the moment they open their mouth.... conversing

ON COMMISSION of HIGH CRIMES, meaning the area of high crimes can be anything.

I know we tried it with Clinton for such petty crime like bedding many beautiful women.
Or better yet, lying?
Lonely yes, that should constitute HIGH CRIME, the inability to protect our lives.

If England has already cut off all flights, there's got to be good reason. QUESTION, Why NOT US?
rolling on the floor laughing professor applause doh frustrated confused not funny Hans, because we do still need leaders, but truly what is a good and trustworthy leader?
I dont think he should be impeached,why should we,? if we didn't get it right than vote for a woman who will get it together and change a few thigs around.sigh

I am wondering why impeachment is brought to the table...what did Obama fail at?...or act inappropriately...do tell...
I voted for Obama, he doesn't deserved impeachment

but to let loose our enemies that makes him too soft

on decision maker
Gerard Ford was soft on Nixon that's cost him

to be re-elected
If your present administration failed or succeeded to manage the government based on the peoples' expectation? Is it solely your perception or perceived by the majority? And also if the majority thinks your way or not?
Let's assume the majority validates your point. Even then it serves no purpose to the extreme step to impeach Obama for that reason...better a political correctness is needed to devise ways so that a right person can be chosen for the post of the president...otherwise its just rambling...and is to persist when the next person comes to replace Obama. doh
LJ.
I just want to say:...Hello! To you.
Capricorn, I have to be very critical on this one. After all I voted for him. But the way our health care was presented, it was cleverly done. Part of the confusion was that there was no margin of cost and benefits presented.
There was 40 million uninsured and with his project while it fixed that, it messed up about 65 millions with good insurance. That's just one.

Second he failed among other things on the immigration problem. Then the handling of the Ebola.
loulou

no, no reason at all to impeached Obama

I'm saying, he's too soft to make decisions

Hans there was an accusation from blaze that indeed he's a moslem. But false prophet, I'm not sure. I will upload his speech claiming he's actually a Muslim.
Lou my friend, please listen to Fox and blaze and the Washington post and arrays of negligence he has committed is endless.
Iotaoo popular opinion are all we have. I give you that much. So explain why his poll has become the lowest of any presidents ever?

And that's why there's a move to impeach him and didn't come from me.
lind

he as a commander in chief is a failure

the armed forces prohibit fraternization between

officers and enlisted, there's a reason for that

is why the president is afraid to go after enemies

who said freedom is free and easy
Good morning my dear Angel.gift bouquet Thanks. It's so nice to be positive and you're always here to balance all our negative bearings. wine
And Capricorn, I have always considered the greatness of woman president like Golda Meir, G Ghandi, and others and who knows our redemption is in the hands of a woman.
Iotaoo, what happened. You've become a softie?
Where do we start on the misdeeds of the president?confused He authorized the following: Fast and Furious, lied about Benghazi, lied about the IRS, and the list goes on. Now he wants to allow a 100,000 Haitians to enter our country to work (no visas), allowed 1000s of people to come into our country from Central America, illegaly. No immigration!confused He is the most incompetent president this country has had!

He is a part time president. Has played over 200 rounds of golf since being president (Tiger Woods has played 262 rounds), lots of vacations, fundraisers, etc.

Fortunately he can't run for a third term!yay
no not softie....but ask you instead....the chances of the success of this futile and rather bizarre exercise? conversing
One at a time my friend Jim. Just on the IS fiasco, yes that alone constitutes high crime as far as I am concerned. frustrated
Are you kidding me Iotaoo? Have you been following our political events since Kennedy? You see? Clinton WAS Investigated over billion dollars of tax money by Starr, on what? Womanizing. Wheww, and you're telling me it's futile? This concerns every US citizens my friend and you, too or the world for that matter.
Jim his immigration policies is by far the obe, to me, that proves his incompetence. Now can we say more?

Let's get it going Jim.
Lou my friend. I voted for him and was so excited to see change for the better. Instead I experienced worse than any other leader I've had.
My friend LJ,

I agree completely. By the way, to circumvent our Constitution, which he isn't the first president to do so, he has signed over 900+ executive orders! So if congress doesn't agree with you...just sign an executive order! No big deal. Right? Wrong! The congress makes the laws of the land!frustrated Not the president!!!
I'm not surprised if he's now contemplating MARTIAL LAW my friend.
Yeah, I have been hearing that for over 2 yrs now. One thing he best remember, we have well over 100 million armed Americans, mostly veterans and hunters! He might want to think long and hard before he tries martial law!
I'm not worried about what he does anymore Jim, frankly it is more of a reflection of our own leniency as people.
At least when we didn't want the leader, they'd kill him. And, I'm not suggesting that's what we need here. But we've become complacent I guess.
Reb, most of the news are doing a less than expected job or we'd have progressed by now, if you know what I mean.
My friend, I am more concerned about the mid-term elections. If democrats lose both the House and the Senate, obummer will be powerless! I voted yesterday!
LJ. I just need to say this!

frustrated I want to be president!
All the president gets to do all of that stuff! Even the ones in the other countries too!...

smitten... Yawl! Elect Me, To Run For President!/ USA.
Angel,

Can I be your VP or in charge of your vacations?rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Gjim.

uh oh uh! The president, of the USA, can't run for president no more. Not after doing 8 years.

smitten Gjimmie! Make Me The USA President.
Yes! Gjimmie.

smitten And I will also Please everybody! All over this world!
