The Republicans who are trying to Impeach Obama are idiots! In case they haven't noticed President Obama was a professor & Constitutional Lawyer at Harvard so the man obviously knows what his "Constitutional" limits are!
I digress though as Republicans will use anything to stop a President (blue stained dress) when they aren't in control.

I hope not. Impeachment would only weaken a nation. I don't like his policies but I can't think of anything he's done that warrants impeachment. The country is divided enough. We either vote him out or we don't. That's democracy.

what the republicans should do if they want to impeach obama is rather than impeach him, do a censure of obama.

Knowing what limits are and abiding by them are 2 different things. Obama said he wouldn't use signing statements, but he has. He said he wouldn't do an end run around congress, but he has been.

If you are going to declare war you need to go to congress not act like the UN and Nato is where the action is. I don't think wars should be labeled something else and then executed by any Pres, D or R.

They have just gone to far in their avoidance of the Constitution, this time.

Obama impeachment bill now in Congress
Far too little and far too late.

Obama and at the minimum his last 3 predecessors have been allowed to skirt Constitutional restraint and subvert the law to further their own goals.

A halfhearted symbolic effort at the impeachment of the latest conspirator in chief will accomplish nothing.

This is little other than another attempt at pandering for votes with no effort made to address the problems that we are facing as a nation.

Lord, its not an Obama impeachment bill. You really need to read your own links. It is a bill that would open any president up for impeachment should he use force in the future without the concent on congress. It's a good bill that could probably come back and bite a Republican president in the butt seeing how some republicans are already calling for military strikes on Syria.

I will not use signing statements to nullify or undermine congressional instructions as enacted into law."

It was much more than a blue stained dress. It was lying under oath (perjury), witness tampering and obstructing justice.
