What does the Constitution say about Impeachment?
Posted: Dec 29, 2013
The Constitution and Impeachment The Constitution, Article II, Section 4: 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 Constitution, Article I, Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachments shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States, but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishment, according to Law. ;

You can't impeach someone - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]because you don't like him. You have to be more specific and to back it up as well. If any impeachable offenses have been committed you can be sure the Tea Party would be on it.
Not just - yet...
[ In Reply To ..]Republicans have to take control of the Senate as well - no way would this senate vote to impeach the president. Each party always seems to take care of their own.

Yeah, so before we get around to any of the hypothetical acts committed by Obama admin...let's start with those that got us into the Iraq War debacle.

You two probably should get up off the floor and (sm) - LM
[ In Reply To ..]speak to Bill Clinton and other world leaders who had the same fault intelligence and acted on it with us. Impeachment procedures cannot begin until we get the Senate, are you kidding me, you didn't know this? Dirty Harry Reid won't bring any House bills to a vote, you think he would bring up impeachment? LOL - what folly. But enjoy yourselves yukking it up while you can, just so you realize the Democrats are afraid of the "I" word - as they should be.
I'm the one ROFLMBO, but... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]...I'm on your side. I'm a Conservative and very proud of that. I want Ben Carson as our next president!

It wasn't Iraq... - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]It was Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, etc. Remember Blackhawk down? And then. of course, remember Monica and the lesson in perjury we all learned from Slick Willie?
I guess you never heard Prez BC sayiing there were WMDs in Iraq. - Check out You Tube.

The impeachment process - NK
[ In Reply To ..]is outlined in the Constitution and has nothing to do with Harry Reid or any other senator bringing it up. Perhaps a little research is in order before you LOL too hard.

Sanford Impeachment Hearings BeginNov 24, 2009
Mark Sanford is under investigation for breaking ethics laws and now faces an impeachment hearing for leaving the state without anyone to make excutive decisions while with his Argentinian mistress. I think one's personal affairs (pun intended) including one's sex life are just that - personal. I do have a problem with him "abandoning" the state for 5 days, being incommunicado, while engaging in that affair, though. The ethics charges - mostly misuse of funds type stuff - are a ...

President Accused Of 'sleight Of Hand' To Protect Self From ImpeachmentDec 04, 2014
NEW YORK – Did President Obama just set up Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to be a candidate for impeachment instead of himself if conservatives convince the Republican majorities in the House and the Senate that his “executive actions” on immigration are unconstitutional?

OBAMA'S DAILY VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONApr 21, 2014
With a compliant Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate that consistently defends the president’s executive theft of power, Barack Obama and his allies are well on their way to carrying out his 2008 threat to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” What is being transformed first—through growing, abusive executive edicts never conceived under the U.S. Constitution—is the very form of government and strict guarantees of individual freedom in the Bi ...

Obama: Pass A Bill Or I’ll Rip Up The ConstitutionFeb 19, 2015
When Republicans challenged Obamacare in the courts, they had to overcome the hurdle of persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a program enacted by Congress and signed by a president. The legal challenge by Texas and 25 other states to the administration’s executive actions on immigration is different. Congress never passed a Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (or DAPA) to grant legal status to some 5 million undocumented immigrants. President Ob ...

Monsanto Teams Up With Congress To Shred The ConstitutionMay 27, 2013
I THOUGHT it was unconstitutional to force a citizen to give up their right to sue! However, the current right-leaning Supreme Court would probably uphold this UNconstitutional provision.

And for the record, I'm a liberal and Senator Mikulski is a Democrat. I b ...
