The Constitution deals with the subject of impeachment and conviction. The scope of the power is set out in 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."
Have the actions of President Barack Hussein Obama reached theses standards? Possibly a more appropriate question would be which of his actions haven’t reached the level and why isn’t he gone?
Contrast the actions of President Richard Nixon with those of the current President. Nixon was in command during the Watergate scandal. Watergate was third-rate break in to Democrat’s campaign offices.
The Republican power brokers said Mr. President, it's time to step down or you will be impeached, President Nixon did so.
Richard Nixon made Obama look like an Eagle Scout. Impeaching President Obama would have another upside; his appointments of Sotomayor and Kagan, to the Supreme Court would be nullified. Executive orders would be reversed.
Now here's the problem, it would be a slam dunk in the House, but it’s unlikely the House would consider this as they have way to much on their plate and plan to un fund the majority of his schemes. Thus making Obama a lame duck for the next two years.
Would this President even care? Currently he is in contempt of court over his refusal to allow oil drilling off the US coastline. His Department of the Interior refuses to release new drilling permits.
Obama’s administration has broken new ground in its defiance of any other authority than its own. By checking the White House website, and the only statement on Judge Vinson’s ruling. It’s quite clear, from the statement, “Implementation will continue.”
The White House statement implies that Judge Vinson did not bar implementation of the law, which is false. He declared it void. But the administration is acting as if they don’t even have to appeal it.
In reality, Judge Roger Vinson issued his ruling voiding Obamacare in its entirety as unconstitutional. On page 79, he indicated that he expected the Federal Government to honor the ruling, which would mean that it ceases implementation.
President Obama’s refusal to release his long form birth certificate, which would show conclusively that he is a dual citizen and therefore not constitutionally eligible to serve as President.
Obama’s college records, which have also not been released, would also contain information regarding his dual citizenship status.
Widespread voter fraud including voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, falsified documents, and threats of violence against Hillary Clinton supporters committed by the Obama campaign and ACORN during the 2008 Democrat primary election. How Obama Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Party Nomination.
Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) has stated on tape that he was offered a high-level post in Barack Obama’s administration to keep him from running against turncoat Senator Arlen Specter in the upcoming Pennsylvania primary election.
Purchase of Congressional support for the passage of Obama’s healthcare bill including the “Cornhusker Kickback”, “Louisiana Purchase” and having the Department of Interior increase water allocations to the Central Valley of California to secure the votes of Democrat Reps. Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa.
Obama’s executive order signed in Dec. 2009 that allows Interpol to operate in US territory with impunity and without oversight by Congress, the courts, FBI or local law enforcement.
No presidential statement or White House press briefing was held on it. In fact, all that can be found about it on the official White House Web site was the Dec. 17, 2009. In a one-paragraph text of President Obama's Executive Order 12425, with this innocuous headline: "Amending Executive Order 12425 Designating Interpol as a public international organization entitled to enjoy certain privileges, exemptions, and immunities. "In fact, this new directive from Obama may be the most destructive blow ever struck against American constitutional civil liberties. No wonder the White House said as little as possible about it.
The State Department using $23 million in taxpayer money to help transform Kenya into a constitutionally communist nation where the freedom of speech is limited and private property rights are subservient to “social justice”. In addition, the recently adopted Kenyan constitution allows for the practice of Sharia Law in some regions, ensuring women will not be guaranteed basic human rights.
Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s plans to take control of millions of acres of public and private land in Western states by designating them national monuments. These efforts are being carried out in secret and without input from Congress, state and local officials and current landowners.
The Department confiscated public lands, 1.7 billion acres. These resources are vital to the Nation’s energy security and provide economic returns to the Nation. How might that be? This is a ruse to make sure private oil companies can’t secure permits to drill for oil and natural gas.
Department of Justice illegal race based policies regarding voter fraud as exposed by former Justice attorney J. Christian Adams. This includes the dropping of voter intimidation charges against 2 Black Panthers brandishing weapons in front of a voting location in Philadelphia and the stated intention by political appointees to ignore voter crimes committed by African Americans, Latinos and other minorities.
Obama’s State Department included a Justice Department lawsuit against Arizona's immigration law into a United Nations human rights report to show how U.S. rule of law can be an example to the world,
The president had no legal authority to create the escrow fund and no authority to compel BP to contribute to the fund. Forcing BP to agree to the terms of the escrow is ultra vires (i.e., illegal), beyond the powers of his office. Rep. Barton (R-TX) accurately described the slush fund as a "shakedown" (i.e., blackmail), a felony. If so, Pres. Obama has committed an impeachable offense.
The number one reason President Obama must be impeached is he has failed repeatedly to uphold the office of the President and protect the Constitution and America. Can there be any better examples than his failed Middle East policy making sure Iran would not develop the capability of having a nuclear weapon. His dealings with North Korea are not far behind.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C.

HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. HE IS NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, NOR BORN HERE!
One excellent reason in deed. We will never know who he is, meanwhile soldiers rot in prison because he will not provide what they need for discovery, i.e. his sealed records.
Wow, super outline of all of his crimes and misdemeanors! However, I doubt it will ever happen! His approval ratings remain high no matter how fast we are going down the tubes!
Also there is no one on either side of the congress who have the guts to get it started! I pray I am wrong!!! I think Bachmann is the only one up there that is aware of all of this. The rest appear to be clueless to O's agenda! Collapse the system, destroy America and lead us into the NWO. I think you need to send this to all the republicans in congress and your own reps from CA....
Obama's approval ratings are like the wind. What people think of him has no relevance to the process of impeachment. Oh I believe there are people with guts. The question as I pointed out is it the best way to use congressional time or just make him a lame duck for year 3 and 4 by un funding his programs.
I sure hope so! He's gone on way longer than he should have!!
Time will tell my friend, time will tell.
This will be interesting to see when you consider all the facts. How can an Unconstitutional President be impeached? Since Obama has admitted his father was a Kenyan National, his father was never a US Citizen. This makes Obama a British subject. But since the Democrats have lied so much when it comes to Obama, what's a few more lies.
You bring up an interesting point. However since he was sworn in he is the President and could be impeached but I'm not holding my breath about it. The article was written while I was in Fantasy Land with lots of facts and reasons to bring him down. J.C.
I'm having a hard time believing almost half the Senate Democrats would risk their political careers for something as passé as honor.
They would all sell their mother's into the sex trade for a single vote that might tip them into the win column.
i can't see it.. the libs are too happy w/ him. they are getting everything they ever wanted.. oil is not being drilled, gays got more rights, etc... the dems are just pretending to holler..
See AK-47 the libs can be as happy as they want, they don't vote in impeachment proceedings. As for members of Congress being happy with him don't bet any money on it. They will turn on him when the deem it's in their own best interest, J.C.
It does not matter where he was born..he could have been born in Yankee Stadium....HIS FATHER WAS NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN....that makes him NOT NATIVE BORN which is a requirement for President. Obama is now trying to redefine what Native Born means...
The list of treasonist acts against this usurper is long and growing. He is a puppet trying to destroy this country. We cannot have two more years of him. His budget today is further proof of his plans to have us borrow and print money for more than the two generations that are already in hock!
I cannot wait for the Congress to realize they are "elected" and can be removed. Then they AND their children will have to live by the rules they are ramming down our throats. Obama is inspired by the people of Egypt...if he continues...he will be elated by the Patriots marching on Washington!
This has not been the best kept secret in town, everyone from both sides including the courts know his is a fraud. Back to your point about Natural Born citizen which you meant when you called him Native Born, I'm still waiting to see when and where if became a citizen in the first place. When the Dem Governor in Hawaii who promised he could get Obama's long form only to find it doesn't exist, this does not bode well for Obey.
SEND HIM PACKING
Throw is ass out in the street with nothing but the cloths on his back.
As much as I would love this to happen, I'm not holdin' my breath.
For sure if you are underwater breathing compressed air.
I think that the Senate will have enough Democrat votes to 'convict' Obama after the House impeaches him.
Anyone can see that Obama is not legally, Constitutionally eligible to be President. Why risk their professional Senator career for a ...Marxist Socialist who has no allegiance to anyone but himself, anyway.
I agree the votes are there, but to avoid a bigger Constitutional crisis than the one that has already been committed he will walk off into the sunset. Would like to see him behind bars with a full on investigation when he's tossed on his but in 2012. Then it would be gray bar hotel time.
I would only hope that Congress opens its eyes to the corruption,abuse of power and blatant disregard for the United States Constitution that has been coming directly from Obama and his Administration.They have abused it enough and should be impeached and removed from office.
Sadly my friend they are all in it together. Dems Republicans and the Courts.
Barack Obama belongs in a federal Super-Max cell for the rest of his life AND all of the wealth that he has accumulated since his usurper Presidential Campaign (2008) should be 'redistributed' from his family and to the General Fund, to help pay back what Obama and his family have wasted of our taxpayer money.
I could not agree more, let him take the place in solitary confinement that my friend Corey Clagett has been using the past 5 years.
Thanks. I posted it.
Appreciate it, Norma
Very interesting article, Jim. I am posting a link to it on my wall.
~Will
Thanks will I appreciate your support and additional exposure, J.C.
Going by the book of Revelation, I'm guessing he's out in 42 months.
He will be gone in less than 24.
Oh how I wish!
Don't wish, make it happen!
Excellent, they should put that picture of Obama on Food Stamps!
Excellent thought and all along I was thinking toilet paper.
Nixon's worst could not hold a candle to any member of the Obama administration. But then, I have learned long ago, the masses truly are filled to capacity with "Useful Idiots".
Nixon opened doors with China, Obama is selling the U.S. to China.
At my website divine-way.com you can find how to overcome his policies. God has our escape.
There is also a court style charges and evidences of fraud in his SSS registration. It is the easiest case against him, but everyone has gone for the big case and been refused. It is called http://www.divine-way.com/Forgery_Evidences_SSS_reg_Colb_birth_cert_for_...
Another interesting connection with Egypt protests helps explain why President Obama was on their side:
See at:

Minorities are being used and so far they think it is great, so do we.
Thanks Marie, I've forgotten about the multiple SS cards the current one he is using from Con from a guy that's been dead over 100 years.
I doubt there is the political will to impeach Omaba the Liar in Chief although the case would quite strong including adolescent diplomacy, not securing the borders, failure to respond on a timely basis to gulf disaster, suing Arizona for enforcing existing Federal Laws, naive ROE in Afghanistan & dismantling our armed forces, failure to deal with Iran & No Korea effectively, pissing off King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, snubbing Netanyahu & the British, canceling the F-22 production, the START Treaty not gaining anything in return for our arms reduction, allowing the Russians to invade Georgia, canceling missile defense in Czech Rep & Poland, allowing Marxist/Leninist czars to bypass Congress, dismantling NASA. I could go on, but I won't.
The world is mocking and taking advantage of Obama's weakness. The world is laughing & exploiting Obama's naivete. Ahmadinejad flat out called Obama an amateur "Mr Obama you are a newcomer [to politics]. Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience."
Obama is our Neville Chamberlain and he'll be remembered by history as a president worse than Jimmy Carter.
Wow thanks for all the additional reason's I left out. I actually wrote this with a little tongue and cheek but providing the facts and sources. It will never happen, too many people know, too many would go down with him. It's best at this point to make him a lame duck, strip all funds from the Fantasy Land he lives in.
Their has to be a higher power pulling the string and people are probably scare they may end up in a car accident or some other means like so call ex-friend of the Clintons and higher than that. Does the name Soros come to mind and the Union mafia hum.....should I keep going.... I think you get the picture, because anyone else did this they would be gone!!!
Soros is no longer his bud. He has called for the people with money not to support him because he isn't radical enough.
Great article Jim! It's amazing that this corrupt usurper is still in office.
Thanks Shelly, Hillary was getting to it during the debates, too many people know. Too many would go down with him. Thank God for the past November so Republicans can cut him off at the knees financially. It's lame duck time for Obey.
IMHO, I am not sure what good impeachment would do since it did little to get Mr. Slick Willie out of the Oval Office. I think we need charges of contempt, sedition, and other Ponzi Scheme on the American citizens of the Federal Reserve, and Squatting as well as other high crimes as stated by JC. Also, disbar him from ever practicing law(( I think he never got his law license)) he may have a MA of law but doesn't mean he has a law license to practice, and add a new law for people like him that they are NEVER to hold any Political office local, state, and Federal again. We should also look to those that got him in Pelosi, Reid, Soro's, and Strong, Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, and AG Holder and charge them with high crimes, ID Fraud, Forging Federal documents.
We should also look at disbarring the 2 newest SCOTUS's since they refuse to recuse themselves of the PPACA as well as the birther issue.
Well Lisa a couple of big differences, the Senate didn't convict Clinton. Both of the Obama's have turned in their licenses to practice law with no explanation available. I'd like to see a full on FBI Investigation once he is out of office, opening all his documents and putting him away for life at hard labor with no possibility of a pardon or parole in Leavenworth Federal Prison. He can take my buddy Corey's place who sits in solitary confinement. Jim
Won't happen.
A man of few words and a negative one indeed!
Totally agree.
That's quite a load guy. Why can't we pull a cairo on him? What's the difference between Barak and Mubarak?
Not much, they are both Muslims.
