If Not Impeachment, What?

Sobered and deeply troubled by the election
debacle on November 6th, and mindful that
Obama and his Progressive minions are now
more determined than ever to completely
undermine over the next four years what
precious little remains of this Republic, it
becomes crystal clear to me that a genial
solution to our nation’s challenges is
impossible.
So, what can we do? Well, I think we can
eliminate impeachment as a realistic remedy.
Bear in mind that impeachment (indictment) is a
political–not a legal–process. A majority in the
House of Representatives can impeach, but 2/3 of
the Senate is required to convict and remove a
sitting President. And because it is such an
onerous and highly politicized process, only two
Chief Executives, Andrew Johnson and William
Clinton, have ever been impeached, though,
significantly, neither of them was convicted and
removed from office.
Given the Progressive plague which has swept
DC, both on the left and the right, the chances of
successfully applying this two-step process is,
therefore, very, very remote. As things now
stand, it appears only a flagrant act of
presidential treason or murder would persuade
the House and Senate to respectively impeach
and remove Obama. (Readers may refer to my
Opinerlog post entitled “Obama: Is Impeachment a Viable Option?” for a fuller discussion of this
subject.)
Briefly, despite deliberate and all too often successful political attempts over the years to misinterpret
the meaning of “high crimes and misdemeanors”, objective research manifestly renders Obama both
impeachable and removable. Why? We must remember that “high crimes and misdemeanors” aren’t
limited to murder and treason. In fact, our Founders considered mal-administration, breach of public
trust, abuse of power, negligence and, yes, even immoral behavior, among others, as impeachable
offenses.
In essence, an impeachable offense is not necessarily an indictable offense and an indictable offense is
not necessarily an impeachable offense. Simply put, an impeachable offense is WHATEVER Congress
may say it is at any given time.
                                               That said, I refer you to Canada Free Press which has
                                               creditably kept track of Obama’s impeachable offenses–
                                               50+, so far. As of today, we may be able to add several
                                               others, among those being Benghazigate (selling arms to
                                               Islamists) and committing US military assets to Libya
                                               without Congressional approval. Thus, while the CFP list
                                               is hardly exhaustive, it does fairly highlight some of the
                                               more egregious offenses so far committed by this
                                               imperial president. In their totality, these offenses are
                                               breathtaking in scope and seriousness. But, again, ONLY
                                               if the House indicts, and ONLY if the Senate convicts
                                               can this or any other offensive Chief Executive be
                                               removed.
                                                From my lowly vantage point, Obama is, hands-down,
                                                the most impeachable chief executive in our nation’s
                                                history. And because he is constitutionally ineligible for
                                                re-election in 2016–this despite an odious proposal by
                                                Congressman Jose Serrano (D-NY 15th), member of the
                                                Progressive Caucus and the Democratic Socialists of
                                                America, to eliminate presidential term limits–short of
                                                impeachment and removal, incapacity or death we have
only our God-given natural & constitutional rights of resistance, i.e. civil disobedience, nullification,
secession and rebellion, to shield us from Obama’s brazen utopian transformation of this union and our
steady slide into economic oblivion. And to rely on the federal courts to support the Constitution
against this Progressive thug is painfully delusional.
So, yes, folks, sorry to say, but the
remedy is now squarely on our
shoulders and on the shoulders of
our respective States to resist. We
can rely on nothing else, nor should
we. Wishful thinking, benign
neglect, blind faith, and prayers
alone won’t turn the tide and save
this tattered Republic. And with both
our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights
under relentlessly single-minded
attack, now more than ever patriots
need to be solidly united, fearless
and determined.
Are the States up to it? Are we up to
it? That remains to be seen.
Going forward, let our Founders’
counsel and the Constitution be our
guide.
