I believe President Obama crossed the line from President to common criminal acting under the color of office when he had two unindicted and untried American citizens murdered-by-drone as they drove through Pakistan (never mind the violation of another nation's sovereignty by US, that is old news by now). Depending on which news service articles one read about this incident, there were either only three killed, or there were at least SIXTEEN killed. Mind you, such an attack perpetrated on the United States by another nation would result in swift and terrible retribution being wreaked on the offending nation, but I digress.
The point is that President Obama denied "due process" to these two Americans, not only deeming them guilty of "supporting terrorism" without trial, but commanding the military to execute them immediately and without any chance to appeal their "cases." This alone is an impeachable offense, but President Obama's continuing assault on the Constitution, and our rights, has garnered other impeachable offenses...although Congress has been much the ally in Obama's shredding of the Constitution (a trait Obama carried on from the Bush II Administration). Particularly the Senate follows the President's wishes, bleating along behind him in DC, but then, in many cases, blaming all the foul legislation being forced upon us on someone else. Nonetheless, according to some sources close to the House of Representatives, the votes to sustain the impeachment are there, and pretty much the impeachment would be a slam dunk. Not so much in the Senate.....
With the Senate fawning behind this President like a bunch of teenage girls chasing a boy crush, no matter what they might say at home, there is a good deal of doubt that an impeachment verdict from the House would be followed by a Removal in the Senate. Failure for the Removal verdict to pass in the Senate would then be hawked through all the land by President Obama as a "ringing vindication" of his Presidency. With the failure of the Removal Vote would also come an even greater hesitancy for Congress to buck the President in any way; in other words, the Congressional "check and balance" over the Executive Branch would effectively be nullified.
I have no doubt that there is more than enough legal cause to proceed with President Obama's impeachment, but I also believe that, no matter how compelling the evidence, the Senate would not have the...um...the character and integrity to remove the impeached President from his office. There are several senators and representatives who are discussing, among themselves, the possibility of impeaching President Obama. The problem is that the senators are fairly certain at this point that the Removal Vote would fail in the Senate. I believe that to be the case as well, and I further believe that these senators and representatives should wait to move for impeachment until more senators are outraged enough to take this radical action. At this point there are still too many Democrat senators who would rather eat scorpions and swallow nails than do the right thing and get this man out of that Highest Office, which he so richly does not deserve.
