Obama Could Be Facing Impeachment
23 December 2012 / 90 Comments
There are rising concerns on Capitol Hill that President Obama is considering sending US troops into Syria. The military has already taken steps to increase its presence in the area and has been supplying Patriot missiles to Turkey.
At a recent press conference, Rep Walter Jones (R-NC) explained his resolution before the House (H.Con. Res. 107), saying:
“The sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a president without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.”
The US Constitution states that only Congress has the power to maintain an army, navy and to declare war. None of these fall under the constitutional duties of the president. Article I, Section 8 of says:
“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;…”
“To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;”
“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;”
“To provide and maintain a Navy;”
In a surprise move, one noted Democratic congressman has sided with Jones. Charles Rangel (D-NY) explained that the proper constitutional procedure for sending troops to war is for the president to go to Congress with the request first. Having Congressional approval is viewed as meeting the will of the people, although that can be questioned in today’s politics.

With the outright deciet pertaining to Ben Gazi, the high handed unconstitutional treatment of the catholic hospitals, the funding of every ” freedom ” outfit that has been busy replaceing strongmen with fundamentalist thugs throughout the muslim nations, the complicity in gun-running to the mexican cartels, and the graft that has crawled out of the various ”stimulus” packages, to think that Boehner would permit an impeachment move on his golfing buddy Barry is smoke. Now, send crying John back to Ohio for a bit of snipe-hunting, and get a loyal American as speaker of the house, that may change.
Or we could take a look at the first amendment and study its original intent . The church of England was an Establisment based on one excepted Christian veiw. The thought that it would devolve outside of Christianity was foregn to John Jay in the federalist papers. Never the less the first amendment did’nt use the word except(in a court,school,on state property,from a state microphone or from a state possition) It clearly means Congress will not infringe on the free exorcise of religion anywhere of any difference. Stupid people think it means something else and liars spread the untruth with or without wit
