McCain: 'No chance' of impeachment success
The Hill ^ | July 10, 2014 | Rebecca Shabad

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), one of the president’s fiercest critics, says President Obama shouldn’t be impeached.

On “Imus in the Morning” Thursday, McCain was asked to react to Sarah Palin’s call this week for Obama to be impeached.

“Well, I don't agree and I remember going through an impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton,” he said. “There are not votes here in the United States Senate to impeach the president of the United States and I think that we should focus our attention on winning elections.

By using summer vacation empty Public School classrooms as holding pens for the Illegal Hispanic Children Invaders, Obama has insured that these classrooms will not be de-loused and fumigated in time for Public School to start by Labor Day, 2014.

This planned disruption of the normal Public School year was carefully timed to disrupt the Fall Election Campaign, on a number of different topics, not the least of which is to provide a major distraction to numerous Obama scandals, mismanagement, and the total six year failure of the Democrat Party’s Obama as a leader, both Foreign and Domestic.

Did Obama time this Illegal Alien Invasion with the cooperation of the Mexican Drug Cartels, or was this just careful planning by Obama, and staff?

If so, how many US Taxpayer Dollars were paid to these Mexican Drug Cartels?

Should Speaker Boehner begin Articles of Impeachment on Obama before or after OUR children start Public School after Labor Day?

McCain really IS an idiot. The House impeaches. The Senate votes to remove from office.

Certainly no chance until we take the Senate. But it you combine taking the Senate, then really starting to investigate some of the major corruptions and their players, and start impeaching those around Obama (Holder, Clinton, IRS, EPA, DHS, etc), you will have a much easier path to impeach and remove Obama.

I agree with McCain. Obama deserves to be hung as a traitor but the reality is that impeachment would accomplish nothing at great cost.

Unfortunately he’s correct because he himself would vote against impeachment along with Graham and many other republicans.

As much as I despise John McCain - he is right - the Senate will never vote to impeach their ruler. I also think the libs would use this to rev up their base more during the mid-terms. Possibly, if the Reps gain control of the Senate in November, then impeachment might be on the table.

It's really too bad there aren't any Senators who can fix the Senate.

The few that do seem to have the ability want to run for some other office instead of staying and fixing the one they were elected to.

The ant didn’t need 60 votes to do it.

In common parlance, “impeachment” is used to refer to the entire process, the impeachment and the trial.

You can impeach all day long until the cows come home.

But 67 US Senators are required to vote for conviction.

Are we anywhere near that?

Harry Reid will just laugh. He never takes up anything passed by the House.

McCain,I'm sorry to say,is correct in saying that there's not a snowball's chance in hell of the Senate voting to convict.Add to that the likelihood that impeachment efforts would cause Osama Obama's dismal approval ratings to skyrocket....as was the case with BillBob....and you see that impeachment isn't an effective strategy.

OTOH,focusing on the IRS...the border...and OsamaObamaCare will drive his numbers even lower.That will put the Rat Party's nominee in '16 in a bad situation.

Oh,forgot to mention....is an incumbent Rat President as their nominee in '16 really what we want?

I’m glad McCain wasn’t with George Washington when he crossed the Delaware River — “no chance of success”.
