THE “TAKE CARE CLAUSE” …A Reason to Impeach?
[The President] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed....
Article II, Section 3
Through my travels on the internet, I came across this nugget of wisdom and was amused when I thought of Obama and his passion for ignoring laws and/or changing them to suit his own agenda.
In the past, our president has taken parts of the ACA and changed them by whim by changing dates of sign ups, delaying them again and again. These dates were written into law and had to be changed by congress, not by the wielding of a pen or a comment from the Wise One in the Oval Office.
The president plans to change the standing immigration laws, giving illegals visas and green cards and not deporting them as mandated in current law. Is that “faithful execution of existing law?” Does this rise to the level of High Crimes and Misdemeanors? Did you know it takes a simple majority in the House to impeach? What are your thoughts on

Under the Take Care Clause, however, the President must exercise his law-execution power to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."
