I would like to share with everyone the email response I recieved from Sen. John Thune. Several days ago I emailed an Article that was posted on here, his response tells me they DO NOT know the Constitution!
Dear Thomas:
Thank you for contacting me about President Obama. I appreciate hearing from you.
As a United States Senator, I believe government officials, at whatever level, should be held to the highest of standards. The criteria for impeachment are found in Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. It states, "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." While I disagree with President Obama on many policy issues, I do not believe there is any evidence that President Obama has committed any of the listed offenses justifying impeachment.
Instead of attempting to impeach President Obama or members of his administration, I believe that Congress should be focused on fixing our economic crisis, reforming entitlements, decreasing our deficit and debt, ensuring access to high-quality health care, finding a path to energy independence, and protecting our country from terrorist threats.
As Congress considers this issue, I will be sure to keep your concerns in mind. If you would like additional information on my activities in the Senate, please feel free to visit my website, http://thune.senate.gov. Thanks again for contacting me. Please keep in touch.
Kindest regards,
JOHN THUNE
United States Senator
