Republicans impeached William Jefferson Clinton for high crimes and misdemeanors. The fly in the ointment was THEY DID NOT FORCIBLY REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE!

Follow the money. An impeachment (with removal) will not happen for two primary reasons:

#1 - The Republicans will not go through with it (as evidenced by Clinton's 'administrative' impeachment, without removal).

#2 - An impeachment causes the STOCK MARKET TO NOSEDIVE, COSTING BILLIONS IN WALL STREET PROFITS.


Any questions?

They have plenty to impeach Obama on. Death and Taxes is just being intellectually dishonest!

GOP rep: We could probably get the votes in the House to impeach Obama
August 12, 2013 by Allahpundit

And even that’s a silly hypothetical because Boehner would never allow a floor vote. The risk of accidental detonation is too frightening when you go fiddling with political nuclear bombs.

Via BuzzFeed, some slow-news-day easy pickings courtesy of Rep. Blake Farenthold. He’s blowing smoke, of course; for all the lefty angst about GOP obstructionism over the past two years, there hasn’t been so much as a whisper from anyone in leadership about dropping the I-bomb.

And I don’t think that’s because (as Farenthold himself acknowledges) any impeachment attempt would be DOA in a Democratic Senate.

The GOP might have a majority there next year and you won’t see any impeachment attempts then either. Public reaction is simply too unpredictable.

If they can’t get half the caucus in the Senate to risk shutting down the government for a few days to defund ObamaCare for fear of a public backlash, how likely is it that they’d risk a more momentous backlash by pulling together 218 votes for an impeachment battle?

You might get a majority of the House caucus to vote yes, but only because they know the measure would fail and there’d be no political consequences.

And even that’s a silly hypothetical because Boehner would never allow a floor vote. The risk of accidental detonation is too frightening when you go fiddling with political nuclear bombs.

But don’t take any of this too seriously. Farenthold’s not floating impeachment, he’s just trying to make a Birther go away. This is his way of appeasing her.

Yes, of course we could impeach Obama and he’d richly deserve it, but those darned Democrats in the Senate would foil the whole thing. Sigh. The Great Birth Certificate Hoax will have to remain unpunished.

If this feels familiar, it’s because Democratic presidential candidates on the trail in 2007, during the heyday of 9/11 Truth, were occasionally confronted by Truthers asking them to investigate thermite stockpiles in Manhattan or whatever once they assumed office. And as often as not, rather than get indignant with those people, they’d politely promise to “look into it” (as Farenthold does here) in order to extricate themselves from an unpleasant situation. Here’s Farenthold’s version of extrication.

Rush Limbaugh: 'We can't impeach Obama'

'That is a dream that's only going to remain a dream'

PALM BEACH, Fla. – While a new poll says half of Americans and one-in four Democrats want Barack Obama impeached from office for a series of recent major scandals, the president’s archenemy in the media says working toward booting the commander in chief is simply a “wasted effort.”

“We can’t impeach Obama, it isn’t gonna happen,” radio powerhouse Rush Limbaugh said on his program Monday, “but we can impeach the Democratic Party and get it out of town by voting them out.”

REP. ALLEN WEST tells SPKR. BOEHNER to GO TO HELL unless he IMPEACHES OBAMA or steps down!


December 23rd, 2012

“And a double kudos to a certain outgoing Congressman from Florida who when asked if they could count on his vote for Boehner’s Plan B said, “Tell Speaker Boehner he can go to hell. I won’t vote for anything he sends my way unless it’s a vote to impeach Barack Obama or his own resignation as Speaker. Preferably both.””

- from WH Insider
——————————————————

Rep. Allen West, a true American patriot and hero, was railroaded out of his seat by a corrupt and cowardly establishment Republican Party. Specifically, during redistricting in 2010, the Florida state GOP, at the behest of the DC establishment, redrew his district to include a larger swath of Democrats. Additionally, the GOP initially refused to back his recount efforts, even though serious voting irregularities arose after the 2012 election. Thus, West, after serving honorably for a single term, will be forced out at the end of this session. Additionally, Romney mostly kept his distance from West and his re-election efforts even though Romney criss-crossed the state every other week for months.

West, an unabashed, unashamed and articulate conservative was probably THE most beloved figurehead of the supposedly “racist” Tea Party and was targeted early on by the Democrat Party as an “uppity Negro” that needed to be dealt with. However, West’s toughness and principled rigidity scared the cowardly GOP establishment, who basically didn’t lift a finger to help him while he was railroaded out of town. In fact, they even helped.

In losing Allen West in the House, we are losing one of the precious few within the body who actually remained true to the same principles that got them there in the first place. A true man of honor, who’s integrity and character transcended party politics.

Yes. Speaker Boehner. You and the rest of the GOP establishment hacks that are aiding and abetting in the destruction of our beloved country CAN go exactly where Mr. West suggested. Just please don’t bring our beloved country with you.

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS - ‘The Imperial Presidency’ House holds hearing on executive overreach

"My view [is] that the president, has in fact, exceeded his authority in a way that is creating a destabilizing influence in a three branch system. The expansion of executive power is happening so fast that America is at a “constitutional tipping point.”
