    Via TPM, Rep. Michael Burgess endorses impeaching President Obama on unspecified grounds:

    When one attendee suggested that the House push for impeachment proceedings against President Barack Obama to obstruct the president from pushing his agenda, Burgess was receptive.

    "It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up," Burgess said. "No question about that."

    When asked about the comment later, Burgess said he wasn't sure whether the proper charges to bring up articles of impeachment against Obama were there, but he didn't rule out pursuing such a course.

    "We need to tie things up," Burgess said. "The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us."

    And so the list of impeachment-friendly Republicans is growing, Scott Keyes points out:

    Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) confirmed to ThinkProgress this month that Rep. Tim Scott(R-SC) and other House GOPers were exploring impeachment over the debt ceiling. In the spring, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) called for impeachment if the president refused to support the Defense of Marriage Act. Last year, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) hinted at impeaching President Obama if he didn’t do more to stop illegal immigration. Even the birthers have gotten in on the action, with Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) last year saying he may force President Obama to release his birth certificate under the threat of impeachment.

    Obviously nothing will happen between now and November 2012. But if Obama wins and Republicans keep the House, look out second term.

    ==========================================

    I'm all for it!

    Will the GOP support it like they did with Clinton, only to turn around and have George Bush pardon Bill Clinton?

    Some of our volunteers have called Burgess's offices to say thank you for these sentiments.

    Some report that his staffers are saying his comments were taken out of context...
