One of the all time silliest comments I have ever read on Free Republic and I have read a lot. Ignorance should be embarrassing.

I am reading Bill O’Reilly’s book “Killing Kennedy”. On page 47, Fidel Castro is described as follows- “The Cuban leader, in his own words, is violent, given to tantrums, devious, manipulative, and defiant of all authority.”

Sure does remind me of another “leader” that we are currently infected with.

why is it silly , they emptied the gun on lying about a sex scandal, now the gun is out of bullets and everyone thinks impeachment is a joke

get back to me when they impeach obama for the much more serious offense of falsifying documents (birth cert,SSN,draft card) and I will admit I was "silly"

“Okay, so obam is usurping more congressional authority. Why should he stop if there is no consequence. Since “reasonable” republicans have disavowed their legitimate recourse, how seriously is the usurper going to take the “scary” threats?”

There will be no consequence. Half the pubs support everything he does but will not say it out loud. The Republic, individualism and freedom are dead, only waiting to be pronounced as such and buried.......

Pass me that tv remote, its time for dancing with the stars........

Any time someone says impeachment/conviction should not be attempted because it’s not politically viable, ask them: when should it be attempted then?

American presidents will get more and more power until the tyranny gets worse and worse, until someone courageous uses this important check.

Lay out the facts and let the people’s Houses decide if they want a dictator or not.

Is this really their strategy?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/20/judson-phillips-amnesty-republicans-congress-have-/#ixzz3JnaYpwl6

One of the dirty secrets the Republican Party does not want the general public to know is that many Republicans are secretly happy with what Mr. Obama is doing. They have a simple strategy. They want the amnesty issue off the table by 2016 so that Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney or whoever the great RINO hope is will not have to fight the conservative base on that issue.

Republicans long ago learned the trick of doing nothing but appearing to do something. Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was a master of this. He is the reason why the House of Representatives voted more than 50 times to repeal Obamacare. He knew those votes were meaningless but the Republican congressmen could go home and claim they were doing something.

Well, in spite of what whimpy Rs might do, or more likely SAY, the 5 terrorists WERE set free, and took their departure with Obola’s blessing ringing in their ears. They are GONE. What can the R whimps DO about it, other than flap their jaws a little? That’s their “strong” suite.

No. During their term, they may be removed from office for high crimes and misdemenors by Congress in a process of impeachment and then conviction resulting in removal.

You can get the actual details in the Constitution

There are a lot of good links on the FR home page to become more versed and comfortable with the details. The Constitution Society link is a great resource but they are having server problems this morning so try another source.

Keep asking questions — that is how we get the controls of our government back.

When the new Congress assumes office in January, the burden of stopping Obama, or the blame for not doing so, shifts entirely to the Republicans. The Republicans can steamroll him into oblivion, or they can incur blood guilt for being complicit. And the sad part of it is that none of us are confident about what they will do.

Our Congress have become puppets to everyone but US citizens and our interests. If the string pullers see impeachment as disruptive to their interests it won’t happen.

Call me cynical of politics because most of it is about power and the ability to wave a wand and make things happen usually for connected cronies, not necessarily good things for the USA.

It is alright to be cynical.

We can even share in it and press lawful action in accordance with the Constitution.

The last impeachment, which we helped bring about, failed because the functionaries in the Senate saw no over whelming pressure. They felt that because the media portrayed it as party competition and accepted the corruption. If the media continues in that vein, as they are continuing in spades, the same will happen.

The media feels no pressure.

Obama’s going to continue with the middle finger all the way to the final act of his treasonous tenure. Nothing will stop him unless we the people act. Seems those we send to represent our interests either have other agendas, or are totally chicken.....

These guys just went on vacation; how serious can we think they are? What did we vote for? Buncha limp dicks and every dagumed day this country slides farther into pure unadulterated communism, divisive hatred and so much more.

I suppose this is the reason i do not wake up to the front pages anymore; it just aggravates the hell out of me.

The time is now to arrest the mulatto muslim for treason, and failure to uphold the oath that he swore to protect and defend the constitution.

Have the charges laid out by the Sergent-at-Arms for the House of Representatives. Have the Capitol Police arrest him when he enters the House Chamber for the State of the Union.

Instead of listening to that gasbag, have the State of the Union be the reading of the charges, have the House vote on Live national television to impeach, hold the trial right then with the Supreme Court officiate, and have the Senate vote on Live National Television, to convict, Swear in Joe Bite Me as president and whisk Obola off to Florence Colorado immediately.

Then start arresting this criminal gang that is the entire administration. Anyone who was appointed by this administration is gone. Every Judge, US Attorney, and the entire cabinet and underlings going down 5 layers of management at a minimum.

That’s how you fix this. You declare the communist party illegal, decalre La Raza a seditious organization and the ACLU, the Congressional Black Cuacus.

Eliminate 501(c)3 and (c)4 charities, These “foundations” must spend their endowments in 10 years of formation and be disbanded within 1 year of that 10 year anniversary. All monies will eb forfeited to the treasury after that, and the officers/directors jailed for 5 years if the foundation is not spent and out of business.

Eliminate congressional pensions. They cannot lobby their former colleagues for 10 years.

Anyone who is a lawyer must surrender their law license before their campaign begins, and cannot practice law for 5 years after leaving office.

For Federal Civil Service, you can only work for the government for 20 years. you will be forever prohibited from ever practicing law if you are a lawyer when you enter the Civil Service unless you are hired as a lawyer for the government. And then you can not work for a law firm that lobbies congress ever.

Upon leaving office or the civil Service your net worth must be within 10% of your net worth when you entered outside of benefits accreud through your service. You forefiet the difference and spend a mandatory 5 years in supermax solitary confinement.

The time has come to reign in this criminal gang at both ends of Pennsylvania Ave but we should start at 1600 first.

Oh I'm quite confident about what they will do, run off at their mouths but do absolutely nothing else. We no longer have have a Constitutional Government, we now have something very similar to an absolute monarchy. Throughout most of history monarchs have only been unseated by armed force, and I don't believe that will happen in today's America.

"The essence of constitutionalism is the control of power by its distribution among several state organs or offices in such a way that they are each subjected to reciprocal controls and forced to cooperate in formulating the will of the state"" per Encyclopedia Britannica.

The US is finished as a constitutional republic, just as some of us FR old timers predicted almost two decades ago. I just didn't expect it to happen quite this soon or quite this peacefully.
