Not sure I agree.
Set aside, for this analysis, that the whole PPACA is unconstitutional (it is).
The "law" has hundreds and hundreds of discretionary elements assigned to the Secretary of HHS, who serves under the President. I do not know for a fact that any of the "changes" are not, per the "law", subject to executive discretion.
Do you?
> Impeachment isn’t going to happen with a divided Congress, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solid case for it.
I think the real problm is on which grounds to impeach him on. There are so many it gets confusing and the current GOP gets confused and distracted rather easily. Obama is playing keep away from them while his minions are doing major damage...
I heard a certain talk radio show host say this last week.
There is a very traditional, popular and fully legal process for going about this that took place last November, it was called the election and it failed.
Sure, why not?
We gotta impeach him for SOMETHING...
Anyone suggesting impeachment before winning the Senate in 2014 is an absolute moron. Sorry but I said it. Read freaking book already.
If the Republican majority in the House were anything other than TOTAL GUTLESS COWARDS they would have been submitting articles of impeachment against Traitorobama and thugs every day Congress was in session.
They must figure that their oath of office doesn’t really count if they had their fingers crossed when they took it.
Or was it stolen
There are fixed dates in the law. These are not mere suggestions, or gentle hints. They are not subject to executive modification.
Obama is failing to faithfully execute the laws and therefore is violating his oath of office.
This is the most fundamental impeachable offense.
IMO, the first black president will NEVER be impeached.
Even after the 2014 elections, it’s not going to happen. Any attempt to impeach Obama would lead to massive social upheavel. I do believe if the Reps take the Senate, he could end up resigning. He is the type who would totally take his ball and run home.
If you don’t like your president, you have to keep your president.
A pre-meditated, amplified lie, lock-step deceit from a party and willing accomplices in the USSC dictate the most evil piece of legislation ever FORCED on “free” Americans.
FUBO, FUJR, FUUSSC & FUCONgress
TOTALITARIANS are FORCING us pay the BILL for NO RIGHTS.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians
This is about raw political power. i.e., self interest. If enough Democrats threaten Zippy with impeachment or appeal Obamacare then he will do it because he and Michelle like living in the White House. That’s all there is to it.
Libs were making the same claim in 2005.
I recall Barbara Boxer and BCC in House held up GWB electors for an hour by filing a protest over ‘voter fraud’.
Didnt go too far.
Do you?
No. In fact, no one does.
And that's the problem with the legislative branch passing a law with "hundreds and hundreds of discretionary elements assigned" to the executive branch. It appears they actually DID need to 'pass it in order to find out what is in it' -- or at any rate, to find out HOW 'what is in it' would be implemented and enforced.
I think multi-thousand-page laws which include hundreds and hundreds of discretionary elements actually invite violations of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, and that such violations are practically inevitable given the [current] scope of, and political nature of, our federal government.
Perhaps we need a constitutional amendment which limits the total number of words in any new law to no more than were included in the original constitution, as it was ratified in 1789?
;-)
And what is that going to solve?
Agreed.
SHOULD he be impeached? Probably.
WILL he be impeached? Not in a million years.
Because after all how could a candidate the likes of Mitt Romney ever loose? </sarcasm>
