Removing Pres. Obama from Office II

My original message on removing Pres. Obama from office by an impeachment process, as indicated below, gave little hope of success.

I have now heard from one of my associates, who made the following suggestion:

"Perhaps, if the House were to impeach Obama it would create enough publicity that many would be awakened to Obama's dictatorial behavior and be more inclined to vote against him in 2012. If so, that would not be an exercise in futility."

I believe this suggestion has merit, and I recommend that Rep. Neugebauer pursue it in the House.

Subject: Removing Pres. Obama from Office


On June 17 by Executive Order, Pres. Obama established the Dream Act.
The Dream Act is basically an amnesty program for young illegal immigrants. They can become nonprosecutable by serving two years in the military or two years in a college/university. Congress has previously considered the Dream Bill, and has not voted favorably to direct it to the President for his signature.

In using the Executive Order to establish the Dream Act, the President has effectively thumbed his nose at the Congress. Another way to look at it is that the President is now exercising dictatorial powers, which makes Congress an unnecessary legislative body.
Since this is also likely to get worse, the question has been raised as to whether the President can be impeached.

The answer appears to be that a simple majority vote in the House can impeach the President. However, that would be merely a designation of dissatisfaction with his performance. In order to remove him from office, there must be an additional two-thirds vote in the Senate. Since the Senate is now controlled by socialists favorable to Obama, it is highly unlikely that this would occur. Unless someone has additional relevant information, the idea of removing the President from office through an impeachment procedure is not workable.

The next possibility might be a Recall Election. However, it is said that Recall Elections are not applicable at the federal level. An alternative is that both houses of Congress have the right to remove officials, who do not meet the standards required by Congress. It looks like we are dead on this one too, because of the high incidence of socialist Obama supporters in the Senate.

It appears we are stuck with Dictator Obama until at least the 2012 elections. Can we hope, and I daresay pray, that he will do a minimum of damage in the slightly more than a year he has left in his term of office.
