Question: Does Congress have the authority to impeach Eric Holder? If so, this would be a good place to start. If not, who does have the authority to remove him?
I’m afraid that any serious Congressional move to impeach Obama or remove a key underling like Holder will result in Obama arresting or closing down Congress. Obama, after all, has all the departments and agencies with guns and men trained to use them: all Congress has is microphones (that can be turned off), and a bunch of impotent staffers
And I think Congress knows - if they know history - that this is how it would come down if they tried decisive action, and that is one reason they are afraid to try. They know the outcome with men who are tyrants at heart, and the know the outcome of the opposition in Chicago politics.
