[ansel12]

They just elected him, who is going to impeach him?

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.

I don't know if he can be impeached, but Orly says that they can have a no confidence vote. Since Boehner is already purging the conservatives from their posts, I don't see what they have to lose by orchestrating a no confidence vote. He only wants to compromise with Obama and the Dems not conservatives.

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.

[ConstantSkeptic]

Okay. Boehner won the speakership by a narrow margin.

Boehner received 89.6% of the Republican votes.

[LostInBayport]

The only way he’d be impeached is if whatever he is being blackmailed with is revealed to the entire country.

[mrsmith]

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.

[a fool in paradise]

Launch an ethics probe as was done to unseat Tom DeLay.

Doesn’t matter if there is any there “there”. Time drags on.

[ZULU]

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?

[jocon307]

He could be impeached, but it would have to be for something other than disappointing the voters, or some segment of voters.

[Secret Agent Man]

no. and no.

[Busywhiskers]

Can we just focus on the real enemies—the Democrats.

[DannyTN]

How the House Speaker can be removed

But you would need a majority of the House. Conservatives could do that in collusion with Democrats. But Democrats aren't going to vote against one of their own. So you'd basically need all of the Republicans to turn against Boehner.

[dead]

BipartisanShip.

[terycarl]

The nitpicking has started already...Boehner is the speaker.....period. They aren't going to oust him and if he gets his act in gear, we can have a very good two years and assure Republican victories in 2016.

We can also, however, bit*h and moan that our guys aren't perfect and assure, as we did in the previous couple of elections, that Hillary and her gang are victorious as was Obama....sad.

[plain talk]

why are you asking such stupid questions?

[demshateGod]

Why would anyone want to impeach him? They won thanks to his superb leadership. Now they can wine and dine lobbyists with their good friends across the aisle, pad their oversees accounts, and live it while we slouch to civil war. Like hollow men. Like stuffed men.

[oldbill]

No.
You’ll have to find the dirt Obama has on him and release it.
