Okay. Boehner won the speakership by a narrow margin.
Two questions. Can he be removed if he doesn't get the message from the conservatives and do you think he will change his tact now that he has been told in no uncertain terms the conservative base is very unhappy with him and his actions to this point or will he simply ignore us going forward?
Are you high?
They just elected him, who is going to impeach him?
boehner’s revenge

All elected federal officials and many appointed ones are subject to impeachment. Having said that, if he wasn’t voted out of his speakership, what makes you think he’ll be impeached? Only his constituents can remove him, which is very unlikely.
An honest question even if you areeee hiiiggggh h iiiidheiii nev.... never mind.
Here is Orly's logic:
“2/3 of Republicans want Boehner replaced. 30 Republicans, who did not vote for Boehner today, have a real power and they can force Boehner to resign by forcing a vote of no confidence from the floor of the House. Since Boehner has only 216 votes support, he does not have a majority. This time he was reelected with 216 votes only because 26 members of Congress, most of them Democrats, did not show up, they went to Cuomo’s funeral and 216 votes were good enough for the majority of ones who were present.”
I don't know if she is right or not or if 216 was the final number.
Disagreeing with someone is not an impeachable offense.
Boehner received 89.6% of the Republican votes.
“If that happens, all hell is going to break loose,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., a conservative who voted for Boehner. “If the leaders feel the discontentment was contained with just 24 people, they are wrong. They are going to find that number grows exponentially.”
The beatings will continue until our attitude improves.
I wonder if this whole move was a play by the GOP to placate conservatives. Make them think someone in the GOP cares.
The only way he’d be impeached is if whatever he is being blackmailed with is revealed to the entire country.
Boehner has the full, enthusiastic support of 130+ Republican Members.
That’s just over half the caucus.
There are about 70 conservatives and 30 or 40 others.
So he wins.
That’s democracy and the House is constitutionally a democratic organ.
Launch an ethics probe as was done to unseat Tom DeLay.
Doesn’t matter if there is any there “there”. Time drags on.
Yes he can be removed. No,he hasn’t learned anything because no lesson was delivered. He is still there and is removing those who challenged him from key positions. Does THAT sound like he learned anything?
has anyone posted that washington examiner article yet? it should have been breaking news.
I especially like the one politician asking not to be named.
“Are you high?”
Nope but it sounds like you might be. You can’t handle an honest question?
Are you a conservative or part of the GOPe?
“An honest question even if you areeee hiiiggggh h iiiidheiii nev.... never mind.”
For cryin’ out loud. Who let the trolls out tonight?
He could be impeached, but it would have to be for something other than disappointing the voters, or some segment of voters.
