Barack Obama

An organization that battles illegal immigration on behalf of the 75 percent of America's legal citizens who want more control over illegal immigration is calling for the impeachment of Barack Obama over his involvement in two issues: the transfer under his administration's jurisdiction of weapons to Mexican drug lords and his efforts to provide amnesty to illegal aliens.

"President Obama is no longer the legitimate president of the United States," said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, http://www.alipac.us/ in calling for the action today.

"By arming drug and human smugglers with assault weapons that have been used to kill American and Mexican citizens and police forces, and by ordering amnesty for illegal aliens which has been rejected by both the Congress and the American public more than eight times, Obama has committed a form of treason against the United States and must be removed from office by Congress," he said.

His call joins a chorus of other voices who already have expressed the idea. Those comments have come from a number of columnists and commentators, one member of Congress, a former member of Congress and retired military leaders. Even Vice President Joe Biden, then a senator, at one point said he would support impeachment of a president who misuses the executive power to take the nation into a war.

Gheen cited the developing "Operation Gunrunner" scandal, where federal agents told gun shops to sell weapons to customers suspected of links to Mexican drug gangs, and those weapons were, in fact, delivered to those gangs, under Obama's command, as well as "his recent edict instructing federal employees to establish a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in defiance of the Congress, existing federal laws, and the U.S. Constitution."

He explained Obama's ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17 to all ICE field office directors, special agents-in-charge, and chief counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty which has failed repeatedly in Conggress.

He also said congressional investigations have "determined that Obama's ATF and Justice Department have been supplying assault weapons to the drug cartels that import most of America's cocaine, methamphetamine, and illegal immigrants."

The group is a national organization with more than 40,000 supporters who represent the majority of Americans who want America's existing immigration laws enforced, Gheen said.

He said the issue is that the president "made it clear to the American public that he does not care what they think, what the current federal laws are, what the U.S. Constitution says, or what Congress has ratified.

"Congress must take immediate action to stop Obama or the American Republic will fall. What use are elections, candidates, or the Congress, if the executive branch rules by decree?" he said.

It was in a video interview http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo ... iden_2007/ that Biden, then a presidential candidate in 2007, stated, "A president has no constitutional authority to take this nation to war unless we're attacked or there is proof we are about to be attacked. If he does, I would move to impeach him."

The issue is Obama's decision to intervene militarily in Libya. Although critics have raised the same issue about President Bush's interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, those in power there at the time were thought to have contributed to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

WND CEO and founder Joseph Farah http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=280825 has cited Biden's comments in a column where he said, "Never before in the history of the United States has an occupant of the White House displayed less concern for the Constitution and the rule of law than Barack Obama. It's about time somebody said it: It's time to impeach Obama."


U.S. Rep. Trent Franks

Attorney Larry Klayman, http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=271037 a former Justice Department prosecutor, founder of Judicial Watch and now of Freedom Watch, http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/ agreed.

"From what has already occurred, the offenses of the 'mullah in chief' are 'already' so compelling as to warrant immediate impeachment and conviction for his high crimes and misdemeanors, before the United States is totally destroyed by him," he wrote.

He cited Obama's decision to refuse to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act, his pursuit of Arizona in court over its decision to defend its citizens from illegal aliens invading the state, his "visceral hatred and subversion of the state of Israel," and others.

The first statement from a member of Congress on the issue http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=270077 came from U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who responded to this question from Think Progress:

"I know Newt Gingrich has came out (sic) and said if they don't reverse course [regarding trials for terror suspects] here, we ought to be talking about possibly impeaching either Attorney General [Eric] Holder or even President Obama to try to get them to reverse course. Do you think that is something you would support?"

WND also has reported that Jonathan Chait at The New Republic, before the 2010 election, predicted that the House would impeach Obama with a majority in the House, but he wouldn't be removed from office because that would demand 67 votes in the Senate.

"Hear me now and believe me later ... They won't do it right away. And they won't succeed in removing Obama. (You need 67 Senate votes.) But if Obama wins a second term, the House will vote to impeach him before he leaves office," Chait wrote.

In his explanation of why he believes an impeachment could be forthcoming, Chait says the reason itself actually won't matter.

"Wait, you say. What will they impeach him over? You can always find something. Mini-scandals break out regularly in Washington. Last spring, the political press erupted in a frenzy over the news that the White House had floated a potential job to prospective Senate candidate Joe Sestak. On a scale of one to 100, with one representing presidential jaywalking and 100 representing Watergate, the Sestak job offer probably rated about a 1.5. Yet it was enough that GOP Representative Darrell Issa called the incident an impeachable offense," Chait wrote.

WND also reported earlier when Maj. Gen. Jerry Curry, who served in Vietnam and commanded the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground during his long military career, suggested Congress should simply hand Obama an ultimatum.

"Action should be taken by the Senate and should be taken by the House," he said. "They should serve notice on him and say, 'Mr. President, we love you but we want to tell you something. You're under a cloud of suspicion. We can't continue running this country with you in charge under this cloud. Now either you clear it up or you resign from office.'"

He was answering questions on Stan Solomon's "Talk to Solomon" show:

Further, retired U.S. Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely, http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=164409 a noted military leader who now is a presence on the Internet with his Stand Up For America http://standupamericaus.com/ and Veterans Defenders http://veterandefenders.org/ websites, earlier told WND he believes Obama should resign.

Vallely, who served in Vietnam and retired in 1991 from the U.S. Army as deputy commanding general for the Pacific, said, "We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (aka President Barack Hussein Obama) … based on incompetence, deceit, fraud, corruption, dishonesty and violation of the U.S. oath of office and the Constitution."

"We can wait no longer for a traditional change of power and new government," he has warned.

"'We the People' have had enough. Enough is enough. The Obama White House and identifiable members of Congress are now on a progressive-socialist, treasonous death march and are bankrupting and weakening the country. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office. 'We the People' cannot wait for and solely rely on the next round of elections in November of this year. It is now and each day that these public servants must put the citizen's interests above self-interest by resigning immediately," he said.

Peter Ferrara, http://spectator.org/archives/2010/06/0 ... on-of-bara on the American Spectator website, also has predicted Obama's resignation.

"I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it [to 2012]," he wrote. "I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012," Ferrera said.

WND also reported http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=182929 that former congressman and GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo said for current members of the House and Senate to uphold their oath to defend the United States against enemies "foreign and domestic," they need to file impeachment charges against Obama.

Tancredo wrote in an opinion piece in the Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... peachment/ that Obama's "refusal to live up to his own oath of office – which includes the duty to defend the United States against foreign invasion – requires senators and representatives to live up to their oaths. Members of Congress must defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Today, that means bringing impeachment charges against Mr. Obama."

At the same time, Times columnist Jeffrey T. Kuhner, who also is president of the Edmund Burke Institute, wrote, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... 142967590/ "President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached."

Kuhner continued, "He is slowly – piece by painful piece – erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there – yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above – one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go."

Floyd and Mary Beth Brown, in a WND column, http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=113737 discussed the ImpeachObamaCampaign.com they launched. http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/

And at the Taking America Back 2010 conference in Miami in September, Floyd Brown expanded on the idea. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=204149

Brown, president of the Western Center for Journalism, http://www.westernjournalism.com/ said, "The Obama presidency is a disease. … Article 2, Section 4 (the impeachment clause of the Constitution) is the cure. And it's Obama's hatred of America that makes it absolutely imperative that we take action now.

"Barack Hussein Obama is not some do-gooder that has had his plans go astray," Brown added. "He is not a person of good will just trying his best to make America go the right direction. He is not. Barack Hussein Obama is a liar that absolutely knows what he's doing to the United States of America. He has a plan. He has an agenda. This man knows exactly where he's taking us.

"Barack Obama is a very dangerous man," said Brown. "Over the last two years, we have been watching the slow progression of what I call a bloodless coup."

Like I have been saying all along

you are witnessing a Coup d'etat of the U.S.A.

These are Criminals of an International Cabal and DO NOT plan on resquing or saving America ... It's citizens are nothing more than speed bumps for a One World Government

Bushes / Clintons and Now Obama W/many members of both parties sold you down the river for a few gold trinkets and are ALL NECK DEEP in Treason

"Yesterday during his press conference, he told one reporter "Hold on while I put on my constitutional lawyers hat!"

What did he get like a D- in constitutional law? He should've read "American History" never in the History of our country did Patriots lay down to the likes of these criminals! And we were always out numbered 10 to 1

watch this, listen where it's at!

Obama must be impeached now.

This story is currently the lead article on WND's homepage!

Mr. Obama's primary impeachable offense is sedition, i.e., overthrowing the Constitution of the United States, Art. ii, § 1, ¶ 5, and replacing our Constitutional republic and its democratically elected representatives with a totalitarian, Socialist oligarchy or dictatorship, thereby perpetrating a coup d'état and overthrowing the legitimate Constitutional government.

The proper response to his crimes committed BEFORE taking office is:

• a Quo Warranto (By What Warrant) lawsuit for election fraud and ineligibly holding office, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; and that having been refused by Chief Judge Royce Lamberth,
  
  a U.S. House investigation into Mr. Obama's ineligibility for the Office of President, not being a "natural born Citizen," that is,[list:26zfx1vc]a citizen
  born in the country
  of parents who are citizens (at the time of his birth);

and that course of redress having been rejected by Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and blocked by Rep. John Boehner, the Speaker of the House,

a military ouster of the fraudulent impostor unlawfully occupying the post of Commander-in-Chief; and that recourse having been ignored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in their abandoning of Dr. Terry Lakin to enemies of the Constitution who adhere to Mr. Obama,

therefore, as then-Pres. John F. Kennedy said in 1962, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."[/list:u:26zfx1vc]A U.S. House investigation is more likely to compel Mr. Obama's departure than a trial of impeachment. On the other hand, unless a trial of impeachment is successful in the Democrat-controlled Senate, it will preclude a House investigation thereafter. However, with ALIPAC choosing impeachment over a House investigation, I will support them both.

While it was this article that brought me to this site from WND (for which I am grateful to find so many switched on Patriots), I disagree with the notion of impeaching Obama. Only a legitimate President need (or even could) be impeached.

See my topic "Now or Never" in this same forum for another perspective, and a much simpler plan for ousting him and his Marxist cohorts from our White House. â—„Daveâ–º

IMPEACH OBAMA?? Not good enough! The real need is to file “criminal charges? against ALL of these cronies and RINOS as conspirators!

This is what Dr. Jerome Corsi, Rick Wiles, Alex Jones, Russ Limbaugh, and other true Americans are attempting to get done. It needs to be done by the appointment of an Independent Federal Prosecutor who will be able to file criminal charges against this GANG of THIEVES who are raping and pillaging our Constitution and the American Freedoms our fore-fathers fought and died for!

We need a Governor, or State Representative or a Senator to pull their head out of their backside and find the Prosecutor who is not afraid to take this all the way to the highest court in the land. THEN, if that fails to oust these crooks and socialist bastards (mod edit)

PS: I wish there were a central point man who was taking this on, right now there are several lawsuits that have been “stone-walledâ€
