His desire to be impeached by the Republicans borders on desperation.
He seems to want to goad the Republicans to impeach him on issues such as illegal alien amnesty and Gitmo that are cause celeb among his base. These two causes of action for impeachment would almost certainly result in a Clintonesque scenario where he is impeached by the House, but not removed from office by the Senate because of Democrat support.
It follows that there are other causes of action for impeachment floating around out there that he can, and probably will be impeached because of, and which are serious enough that Democrats in the Senate would not just be forced to support, they would be forced to lead the charge for Obama’s removal from office.
So he has us in a chess check? If we impeach him, we are demonized, and if we don’t, he runs even more rampant?
Thanks to the Newt Clown show that set a precedent which nullified and emasculated the impeachment process, Obama knows that no president will ever again be impeached.
