"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Treason and bribery aside (I'm sure some of my readers will have some specifics to point out to me) we'll focus on high crimes and misdemeanors. The definition for which is:
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office.
First one on the list we come to is 'perjury of oath'. Is not swearing to uphold the Constitution then telling Mexico that your going to do everything in your power to subvert it perjury of oath? The first order of business for the President is that take care of things here at home, not Mexico. Is he perhaps feeling a bit guilty over the failed gun walking scheme his administration still refuses to acknowledge? Which brings me to the second on the list, 'abuse of authority'. The President's office has directed the Office of the Attorney General from the get go on that deal. They still refuse to hand over countless documents that may or may not incriminate some high level officials. Third is 'bribery', no direct connections there, but if you connect the dots with the ACA (Obamacare) and the Unions being exempted from that legislation, you could probably make a case. Fourth we have 'intimidation', this happens daily. Maybe not directly from the President himself, but by his hand picked officers. Politics is the only place where the boss is not responsible for his charges. Plausible deny-ability my ass. If you hand picked a person to speak in your behalf, then your ability to lead is suspect. Which also covers the sixth, seventh and eighth things on the list as well,'failure to supervise','dereliction of duty' and 'conduct unbecoming'. We don't even need to go into details on these, but if prompted to build a case it wouldn't be hard. I skipped the fifth, 'misuse of assets' because I'd like to add detail. President Obama has spent more on vacations then any other president in history. As outlined in a prior post Obama would have to work 3500 years and spend 100% of his salary just to pay for what he has already taken ($1.4 Billion). I'd say this is pretty cut and dried misuse of assets, don't you think? That alone should account for impeachment! That ain't exactly a blow job in the White House now is it?
I could have beat him up over all the other things his administration has done, but I'm a fiscal conservative and my gripe is with his fiscal irresponsibility. He's blowing money so fast it's inconceivable to the general public. They can't wrap their head around it so they ignore it and focus on hot button issues that are just a smoke screen. Keep the idiots occupied and they won't see me spending all their money, they won't know whats going on til it's all gone. Do you suppose we'll have enough money left to impeach him then?
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
