Obama Calls Lindsey Graham's 'Impeachment' Bluff on Gitmo
Obama Calls Lindsey Graham's 'Impeachment' Bluff on Gitmo
Breitbart
by Joel B. Pollak
21 Nov 2014
On Friday, President Obama mocked Republican outrage over his use--or abuse--of executive authority. "I didn’t dissolve parliament," he joked in an address to high school students and illegal aliens in Las Vegas.
At the time, Graham told The Hill: “It’s going to be impossible for them to flow prisoners out of Gitmo now without a huge backlash....There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.”
The context was the trade of five senior Taliban leaders for American Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl--a release in violation of the National Defense Authorization Act's requirement that Congress receive 30 days' notice.
Though it falls to the House to draft and consider articles of impeachment, Graham is considered one of the more senior members of the Senate caucus on foreign affairs and national security. He has yet to criticize the President's latest Guantánamo release, however.
The last press release on Graham's Senate website is dated Nov. 7, and his Twitter and Facebook pages attack Obama's executive amnesty, but not the prisoner release.

At the time Graham mentioned the threat of impeachment, he faced a primary election in South Carolina six days later, June 10--albeit a contest he was widely expected to win, and which he carried easily by over 40 points.
