Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) claims that Republicans have the votes in the House to impeach President Barack Obama, but it would be a useless effort that could damage the country so we shouldn’t move forward with it.
“If we were to impeach the President tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it. But it would go to the Senate and he wouldn’t be convicted.”
“Aside from the fact that it wouldn’t be effective, I think there’s some potential damage to society that would be done with a failed attempt,” Farenthold concluded.
“What message do we send to America if we impeach Obama and he gets away with what he’s impeached for and is found innocent? What do we say then is okay,” the Congressman conclude. “Aside from the fact that it wouldn’t be effective, I think there’s some potential damage to society that would be done with a failed attempt at impeachment.”
Do you think we should try impeach Obama? Do you believe in his Farenthold’s line or thinking or is it just inherently wrong to do nothing about allowing criminal president sitting in the White House because of the ‘risks’?
Exactly what impeachable offense has Obama committed, aside from preventing terrorist attacks (from foreigners, not from right-wing nuts), improving health care delivery, and improving the economy?
Kinda hard to impeach someone for being a great leader
These might be legitimate concerns of we actually HAD a criminal in the White House, but we don’t. These are all bogus cries of hate from a party that is slowly but visibly imploding. The criminal presidents are either dead or no longer in office.
Why would after all this time would you guys get together to impeach President Obama and then find an excuse not to do it. You wasted your time and other people’s time gather information together to impeach the president of the United States, then don’t even have the balls to do so. Know you have a reason not to go through with it. If you had the ball’s to gather the info needed to impeach him, then have the ball’s to go through with it. I’m pretty sure he won’t mind anyway being that his term is almost over. President Obama is probably glad his term is coming to an end so he doesn’t have to deal with the Republican people and those other assholes.
lol…impeach him for what? On what grounds.. And please have an intelligent answer..
By the time this process worked its way through one hearing after another, and divided the country, even more than it is now, he’ll be out of office. If you get no where, you will look like fools. You will also rally the usually lazy democrats to come out and vote this time. The Nixon case tied up the country for I don’t know how long. It was hearing after hearing. He resigned instead of going through the entire process. Besides, if Obama were kicked out of office, who becomes President? Joe Biden. Then he can run again, from the status of already being president. Johnson did it, after JFK was assassinated and won by a landslide against Goldwater Ford ran and lost to Carter.
What a twit.
What has the President done that’s illegal? He’s a constitutional scholar and has a legal team that does nothing but ensure that his actions are lawful.
What would he be impeached for? What are the exact charges?
I say we should elect Ted Cruz and let things go from there!
