Obama Impeachment

Postby Rocketvill » Mon May 13, 2013 3:58 pm

Obama impeachment is definrify possible with Rep. going which makes me that it very well could happen. Your thoughts? I think it is possible because it will be at a standstill in Wash. because you need 60 votes but it most likely wont happen at first but I don't know about my view on this

Anyway, Obama impeachment won't happen with democrats in control of the senate unless he does something really bad.

The President has done nothing to get impeached. He's broken no laws. Name one damn thing he's done to get impeached.

Just so everyone knows, just being impeached doesn't mean he has to step down. He also has to be convicted of the crimes he's been charged with by the Senate.

Unlilely he will be impeached, and in any case seeing as government is completly deadlocked either way, no real benefit to changing the leadership before midterm elections.

Besides, if obama is impeached, do we really want biden?

They have to approve. The only reason Bill Clinton wasn't was because the Senate didn't back the impeachment.

It's not to the point where Democrats are calling for it. This means that we're gonna need some secret tapes and a 18 minute missing segment on one of them.

No, they get to try people who have been impeached. Bill Clinton was impeached. The Senate didn't convict.

Again, what does the Senate have to do with the actual impeachment?

Obama is not going to be impeached. People have no reason to impeach them. He has followed U.S law. I am not a big Obama supporter but I don't think he should be impeached, as much as I wish we had a president that wasn't corrupt, but its America and I don't think we've had a truly honest president for many years. That's why third party is the best option.

Reality hasn't stopped Congress before.

Given that a simple majority in the House is all that is required for an impeachment, it wouldn't surprise me if they did impeach Obama. Of course, it would get shot down in the Senate, both because the Senate is run by Democrats and because they have a slightly higher level of dignity.
