Impeachment Gaining Attention In Congress
Representative hands out book outlining grounds for ouster
WND
Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, recently handed out copies of a book that has been described by its authors as the “articles of impeachment” for Barack Obama, and suggested that special investigations, and possibly prosecutions, are needed over Fast and Furious, Benghazi and other Obama scandals.
But Stockman is not the only member of Congress to discuss impeachment in response to the actions of Obama and his administration. A total of 15 members have discussed this idea recently.
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, was speaking at a town hall meeting when he considered the idea. A video of his comments was posted at the Western Center for Journalism.
“I’ve looked at the president. I think he’s violated the Constitution. I think he’s violated the Bill of Rights,” he said.
He said at some point a decision must be made.
“I think if the House had an impeachment vote it would probably impeach the president.”
But he noted there are only 46 members of the GOP in the U.S. Senate, where an impeached president would be put on trial.
To obtain a conviction, the prosecuting team must have 67 votes, and he wasn’t sure that even all of the GOP members would vote to convict.
Other members of Congress who have made comments about impeachment include Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich.; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; R-Texas; Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla.; Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa; and Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.
“I think he”s breaking the law if he strikes without congressional approval,” Hunter told the Washington Times regarding Obama’s plan to bomb Syria. “And if he proceeds without Congress providing that authority, it should be considered an impeachable offense.”

I bet if these 15 legislators and all of the other Republican incumbents found that they were probably going to lose in their individual Republican primaries, they would find more courage to do something about this now.
Good.
I Hope every Republican in Congress that voted for the Shut Down gets “Called On the Carpet” and charged for Reparations.
(Two can play at that game.)
Somebody loves Obama..
Reparations?………..to who and for what?
Ignore Cowpie, just another crap fed troll.
CrowPie is one of the few on BIN that speaks with compassion and wisdom!
Troll is just a Radical Right Tea Baggers’ talking point cliches…
Tea Baggers: Can’t beat beat em with lies and BS, then call them a name..
“And if he proceeds without Congress providing that authority, it should be considered an impeachable offense.”
What the hell is wrong with you people! “should be considered an impeachable offense”? IT IS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!!!!! NOT, WELL AHHH, MAYBE. My God, know wonder there walking all over our rights! You are scared to call a spade a spade! If we cant do better than this then we deserve what we get!!!
Bunch of Crapola….
I never get my news from WND or Newsmax or FOX
I want facts.. not whining, not opinion, not religious brainwashing propaganda…
WND is pushing their Impeachment Store .. NOTHING ELSE..
Obama is the one that DID NOT bomb Syria, and blasted two Israeli missiles out of the sky aimed at Syria
The neoCONs and too many Dems were cheering for bombing another country, this time Syria.
Well said. And many thanks.
You are not going to impeach Obama – he has made sure of that.
- signed enough executive orders to be a total dictator and own you, your family and all.
- has seriously depleted the military and replaced most military commanders, top State Dept. Officieal, Heads of all 70+ Government Agencies with homosexuals, lesbians, Marxists, Muslims, Jews, and Pagans. He has militarized, trained and armed nearly every government agency, all seventy plus of them.
- has near bankrupted the nation with the help of the banksters.
- has purged not only the military but nearly all Law Enforcement of any who are devout or faithful Christians, and any who are patriotic.
- has demonized all who are conservative, Christian, patriotic etc as potential terrorists thus opening the door to incarceration for millions in the now being staffed FEMA Prisons.
All he needs now is a war or some large false flag and he has it all – he becomes King Obama of Amerika – The United Socialist States of America.
When the ‘shut down’ came upon us, all the GOP wanted was to postpone obamacare by a year. I think they knew what was coming and tried to avoid this train wreck. Well sheeple, you got what you asked for. Enjoy your trip down the toilet.
Please flush twice and put down the seat or the dog will drink out of it thanx
