The South Dakota Republican Party state convention passed a resolution on Saturday for the impeachment of President Barack Obama.
The resolution states Obama “violated his oath of office in numerous ways.” referring specifically to the release of five Taliban combatants in a trade for captive U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, Obama’s lies about being able to keep your health insurance, and recent EPA regulations.
“Therefore, be it resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party calls on our U.S. Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States,” the resolution states.
Allen Unruh of Sioux Falls sponsored the resolution.
“I’ve got a thick book on impeachable offenses of the president,” Unruh said, calling on South Dakota to “send a symbolic message that liberty shall be the law of the land.”
Delegate David Wheeler of Beadle County disagreed.
“I believe we should not use the power of impeachment for political purposes,” Wheeler said. “By doing this, we would look petty, like we can’t achieve our political goals through the political process.”
Larry Eliason of Potter County agreed, noting that he opposed the impeachment resolution even though “the only thing (Obama’s) done the last six years that I approve of is when he adopted a pet.”
But Larry Klipp of Butte County, a retired Marine, said matters go beyond mere political disagreements with Obama.
“If anyone in this room cannot see the horrendous, traitorous scandals run by the Obama administration, I will pray for you,” Klipp said.
Delegates voted 191-176 in favor of the resolution. The Pennington County delegation voted 47-9 in favor of the impeachment resolution, and Minnehaha County voted 28-15 in favor.
Rep. Kristi Noem, South Dakota’s lone delegate in the House of Representatives — which has the power to initiate impeachment proceedings — was cool to the resolution.
Noem, who addressed the Republican convention Saturday morning, hours before the resolutions was voted on, doesn’t believe impeachment is the “best way” to deal with Obama.

OK, I’ve said this before and I’ll reiterate that impeaching Obama NOW, when DemocRATs have control of the Senate is equivalent to amnesty!! look up the process and recall Clinton!!
It will take more than one political party in one State, but at least something has begun. Hopefully other States will follow suit.
They don’t have enough votes in the Senate to impeach him. The Republicans must win control of the Senate to do this.
What horse $#%&!@*!
Why don’t you people just come out and say “Hang the niger!”
impeach obama thank u south dakota every other state needs to follow what they just did
Where do I sign lets do it now
Before criticizing Obama, the worst president ever, take a look at the carnival inside the Republican Party. Until yesterday, when I found out about the Indiana polls for the Republican primary, I called myself a conservative; but not anymore. Republicans, today’s Unthinking Majority, are no longer thinking with the frontal lobe of their brains: as it happened in$#%&!@*Germany, they are thinking with their thalamus. Take a look at this Internet article, “A neuroscientist explains: Trump has a mental disorder that makes him a dangerous world leader.” Those of you willing to cave in to madman Trump are as nuts as he is.
