Republicans should stop saying they can’t get Senate votes needed to impeach Obama. A class-action Impeachment that indicts Senators is the solution.
Just follow the U.S. Constitution:
- The House of Representatives must prepare articles of Impeachment – Step 1.
- The Senate shall try the Impeachment – Step 2.
- The Senate must convict with a 2/3 concurrence of members present – Step 3.
Impeachment and removal from office involves “…Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” (Article II, section 4)
For an elected official, there’s no greater ‘High Crime’ than violating the Public Trust. Obama, Biden, and every Democrat/Independent Senator still holding office, who lied about virtues of Obamacare, then passed it into law, defrauded Americans.
(A strong argument can also be made that their combined related activities violated multiple sections of the RICO Act, involving back-room extortion and bribery to push Obamacare legislation, and aiding/abetting the latest executive action on amnesty.)
A class action Impeachment against those 30 – as a group – neutralizes any claims of racism, and guarantees ‘a 2/3 concurrence of Senate members present’…
…since the 25+ Senators included in such a class-action cannot sit in judgment on themselves…leaving 70 Senators (75% of them Republican) sitting in judgment.
Obama and his Senate cohort have continually violated the Public Trust. Nothing in our Constitution stops the GOP from a class-action Impeachment. Cowardice could stop them…but our ‘rule of law’ foundation being shredded should stiffen spines.
As Andrew McCarthy points out:
“The Framers understood that usurpation of lawmaking power would be the road to tyranny. They were right . . . and avoiding tyranny should not be a partisan issue.”
Unfortunately for Americans, it WAS a partisan issue…for Democrats.
Party ideology trumped unconstitutional overreach…so now, using the ‘fraud of Obamacare‘ as a class-action impeachment vehicle solves the 2/3 majority hurdle needed for impeachment, that many Republicans claimed was stopping them.
That’s the only sure path to Obamacare repeal, and ending a lawless reign...
…class-action Impeachment, against the elected officials who defrauded Americans (and even admitted that they knew it was a fraud…from the beginning).
After the dust settles, the Speaker of the House then becomes President.
Problem solved.
