Bill Clinton was impeached because he lied about having sex with another woman. Obama clearly lied about his health care plan, the ACA act has caused people's and businesses insurance premiums to sky rocket in price, and has even left millions of people without insurance all together. Despite his claim that "no one would ever lose their insurance", the exact opposite is happening.
So why hasn't anyone impeached him yet? His only defense is "I didn't know about it", well that seems to be the case with him and his administration all the time now. Makes me wonder how someone can be in such a powerful position and yet not be aware of important things happening around you. It makes no sense.

clinton was impeached for perjury. he lied in a deposition. obama has only lied to the american people, on a daily basis, but that unfortunately in not an impeachable offense.

No excuses.
The buck stops at the top.
Read that Obama is detail oriented and very thoughtful about every step he takes. He knows.
Do not know the law to discern when a leader in the USA is impeachable. However, it would take as long as the remainder of his presidency to get it done. Not to say one shouldn't pursue it. After all where was he during Bengazi attack? Watching the "video?"
Unfortunately being incompetent isn't an impeachable offence, Clinton lied under oath, that is an impeachable offence. Under the Constitution it's "Treason, Bribery and High crime and misdemeanors" are impeachable offences. We all know what Treason and Bribery are however, high crime and misdemeanors are subjective and they refer to criminal actions as well as any serious misuse or abuse of office. It's up to Congress to determine the nature of impeachment.

If it was, no president would last more than a day.

But abuse of power is an impeachable offense, I believe. Just a matter of time, if he keeps this up.
Sigh. Theres flat out lying, theres being wrong and saying what you believed, etc. its not a black and white thing.
Heres the thing-Obama reasonably believed that the grandfathered plans would not be cancelled by the insurance companies. A lot of people thought they might hesitate to throw their folks into the exchange because they were a captured market. But really they don't want the overhead of managing a lot of plans, so the insurance companies cancelled them.
And finally, if lying was impeachable, no politician would be in office longer then a month. Name one Republican or Democratic politician that hasn't lied or been mistaken.
Apparently this needs to be made into another faux horrible thing. Sigh.

Yes, abuse of power falls under high crimes and misdermeanors, however, Congress has to prove it was the intent to abuse his power. This is where Obama is very good at covering himself and shifting the blame. "It always someone elses fault" Like I said in another post, it's unfortunate that incompetence isn't an impeachable offence.
