Is Obama From Mars? Asks Congressman -FLA. (Video) Rep. Files Articles For Impeachment Of Obama/Alien From Space
By King of Shambhala
That’s “Home”, Obama.
Obama’s a two-bit punk.
Excerpt: “…we’ve got to draw that line that says from this point forward, all presidents – I don’t care if they’re Republican, Democrat, from the planet Mars – they’re going to be held to the confines of the Constitution….”
CONGRESS FINALLY TAKES UP ‘HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS’
1st step taken in defining reason for impeachment
Saying he and his constituents are tired of presidents violating the Constitution to achieve their political goals, a Florida congressman is bringing forth legislation to define “high crimes and misdemeanors” and what actions ought to trigger impeachment proceedings against a president.
“Every time we go back to the district and even before I ran, people said, ‘The three branches of government are out of balance. When is Congress going to stand up and have some accountability and rein in the power of the executive branch?’” said Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.
The congressman said the thirst for power in the executive branch is a longstanding problem that’s only getting worse.
“The executive branch has been growing stronger and stronger over the past two or three decades, but this administration with President Obama seems to be on steroids,” said Yoho, who argued that enough is enough.
“I think the last straw was on Nov. 20 with the executive order on amnesty overreach of the president,” Yoho said. “Over 30 times in a six-year period of time, he said he did not have the authority to change the law on immigration, yet he went ahead and did.”
Federal District Court Judge John Hanen placed an injunction on the Obama orders and recently shot down an Obama administration attempt to activate the program while its constitutionality is sorted out elsewhere in the federal system.
Yoho said immigration is just one issue where the executive branch is aggressively challenging its constitutional limits.

“Pretty much every week we’re up here, we hear one of the legislators or the news talk about the constitutional crisis we’re facing,” he said. “It’s in so many different areas, whether it’s religious freedoms or redefining marriage or trampling on states’ rights.
“At some point, we’ve got to draw that line that says from this point forward, all presidents – I don’t care if they’re Republican, Democrat, from the planet Mars – they’re going to be held to the confines of the Constitution,” he said.
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution reads, “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.”
Yoho is now seeking to define high crimes and misdemeanors. His legislation would include “failing to take care that the laws be faithfully executed through signing statements or systematic policies of non-enforcement.” Another would be “substituting executive agreements for treaties.”
In addition, Yoho’s bill would also target presidents who start military action without receiving authorization from Congress, violate appropriations laws to force money toward their political priorities or defy congressional subpoenas for documents or testimony.
Yoho insists this is not designed to kickstart impeachment proceedings against President Obama, but he admitted Obama’s actions are in many ways the inspiration for this.
“If we had a chief executive that would faithfully execute the laws … this wouldn’t be an issue, and we could get on with America’s business,” Yoho said. “But when you have to play like a babysitter and say, ‘No you can’t do that’ over and over and over again, the American people are tired of it.”
He added, “The beauty of this is that this is not attacking this president. It’s attacking this president and all future presidents.”
Much like how teams enter a sporting event by acknowledging the rules that guide the game, Yoho said it’s time for all political players to recognize and obey the Constitution as the rule book for our government.
“Unlike football, which is a game, you’re talking about the United States of America and preserving our Constitution so that we don’t have to talk about a constitutional crisis in the future,” he said.
Non-partisan critics may be quick to point out that America’s founders deliberately left “high crimes and misdemeanors” vague so as not to dictate to all future leaders what constitutes an impeachable offense.
“The founders actually did make it very vague [rather than saying] it’s based on incompetence or it’s based on ignorance; they started to play around with that, but what they found is those are very loosely defined. So they allowed Congresses to go ahead and define those in the future,” Yoho said.
And that’s what the congressman believes his bill does now. He believes support for his plan ought to be unanimous.
“There’s no reason for any representative of the American people, I don’t care what state or why party, Democrat or Republican, should shy away from this,” he said. “This holds all presidents accountable.”
Yoho said this warning also applies to any future Republican president who seeks to undo unpopular or unconstitutional actions of Obama through illegitimate means.
“If we got a Republican president in 2016 and they didn’t want to enforce parts of Obamacare … and they wave their pen and their phone and say, ‘Nope, we’re not going to do that.’ We have got to hold them accountable,” Yoho said.
In addition to Obama’s unilateral action on immigration, Yoho is very concerned about the president’s attempts to go it alone on a nuclear deal with Iran.
“Many of the legislators feel (his bill) is needed to resist an executive encroachment on their authority,” Yoho said. “I think what you’re seeing is a natural reaction to the president’s overreach in many areas and a desire for the Senate to re-assert it’s traditional and constitutional role.”
Yoho stressed once again that the legislation should not make any president nervous but that it gives them a clear guide as to which actions will not be tolerated.
“This is not about impeaching,” he said. “This is about following the rule of law. This is a notice that says, ‘From this point forward, there will be no impeachment as long as you stay within these parameters.”

Barack Obama is the Antichrist
You can hear the Congressman speaking here. (At 2:15: “…President is from Mars”)
Jesus H. where the hell do you get these articles?? When we say: from mars in that context it means that the person isn’t aware of what’s going on!
The two-bit Obama punks are back at it again like everyday. They are driven and will defend Obama till he’s on a jail term. They’re demented and can’t see the difference between crime and legality.
This article is talking about IMPEACHING and Obama’s in court Friday on immigration with no chance of winning says the Leftist press.
Connard!
These people go out of their way to come to my articles.
Why?
I don’t go to their articles, and anyways they don’ tmake articles and just hide behind anonymous accounts like the trolling cowards they are.
If they were crazy once in a while that’s OK but these cowards are loons who do this every day.
This is pathological.
They troll other peoples’ articles everyday.
They have a loose screw.
Somebody who’s trolling every day has a problem in the head.
” They are driven and will defend Obama till he’s on a jail term. ”
There’s a couple things wrong with this statement, Krapachakra. First, NO ONE HERE SUPPORTS OBAMA. Second: Even if he were to go to jail (which he cannot, in this case), I’d still be here, posting FREE OBAMA just to mess with you.
Why? Because it’s fun.
Atop the throne sits a being who considers himself perfect. In his mind, all that exists is for his pleasure. The difference between me and him is, he has to get little girls drunk to sleep with him while I do all I can to convince little girls they’re worth more than what’s between their legs.
Go eat a bowl of d!cks big brother.
We’re waking up in a cold sweat.
We’re waking up realizing the Devil is in the White House.
What happened and why did we allow him in?
I’m NOT.
“What happened and why did we allow him in?”
I didn’t know the French had a say in the US elections.
There are forces at play you are not privy to, KOS. Like the Hawthorne Effect.
Tick tock.
It’s about time to get the show on the road, don’t you think?
Again, with the Dragonball Z videos? I thought you’d be past that level, by now… Besides, I always figured you for a Donkeyball XXX kind of guy.
