White House Expects John Boehner To Try For Impeachment

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's top advisers said on Friday that he expects House Republicans will ultimately file articles of impeachment against the president.

Dan Pfeiffer, a senior aide who has been with the administration since Obama first took office, told reporters that he anticipated that a lawsuit filed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over executive actions taken by the president on health care would ultimately not be enough to satisfy some of the more vocal conservatives in Congress.

Pfeiffer added that coming executive actions surrounding immigration reform would only stoke the impeachment flames.

Speaking at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast, Pfeiffer based his prediction on several factors. The first was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) calling for articles of impeachment to be drawn over the president's executive action allowing certain young undocumented immigrants to stay in the country. The second was a CNN poll released Friday morning showing that while just 33 percent of the country supported impeachment, a full 57 percent of Republicans were in favor of it.

Impeachment? First Clinton, now Obama. History will not be kind to such rightwing shenanigans.

Are Boehner and his Conservative/Tea Party flock really that stupid? I hope so...

 

[R.D.]

No, they are lying to you.

Boehner can impeach Obama 55 times just like he tried to defund ACA... anything it takes to keep the simpletons foaming at the mouth and at a fever pitch until 2016 and they lose again.

 

[OriginalShroom]

Another lie by Obama and his people.

We all know that Boehner doesn't have the balls to try to impeach Obama regardless of how many laws he breaks.

so what LAWS have the Republicans in Congress allowed Obama to break ?

 

[g5000]

The House is trying to sue Obama for not executing the laws passed by Congress.

For example, Obama extended the employer health insurance mandate deadline without authorization from Congress.

The key words in that last sentence are "without authorization from Congress."

You see, Congress could easily pass legislation to extend the employer health insurance mandate if they wanted to. But the Republican House is deliberately choosing not to so they can whine and pull out their hair and rent their clothes about Obama "circumventing" them.

It's all theater for the rubes.

Obaaamaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Before the lawsuit can proceed, it must be determined if the House even has legal standing to sue Obama.

Should the House be found to have legal standing, the lawsuit could then proceed. If the lawsuit then comes out in their favor, then that would be grounds for impeachment.




Now I want you to ask yourself the odds of all of this coming to pass before 2016.



Theater for the rubes. That's what this is.

You're a moron. Your evidence for the thread is that Obama's adviser makes the accusation and then you conclude it's true based on that? LOL, this should be moved to satire. You're a joke.

Is Obama responsible for the crap in his toilet when he takes a dump? Or is that the Republicans too?

So a senior aide constitute White House Experts? I dont know who this guy is, but if is so awesome that he can be considered experts, we clearly have to listen to him [/sarcasm]

There is no point to impeachment at this point even if there are grounds. not with the Senate being controlled by Democrats.

 

[Siete]

ok, my bad... and my apology Kaz.

As you posted, Obama broke the law. The law didn't give him the authority to move deadlines. In fact, those deadlines were written in legal stone by the use of the words "Shall" and "Must". It takes another bill, passed by both Houses of the Congress and Signed into law by the President changing those words and giving him the authority to unilaterally make changes before he could legally do it.

Of course that was not the only time he broke the law.. but it is a fine example.
