No, the House can impeach the president, the do not need the senate in order to accomplish that. The senate is needed to convict him and remove him from office. Even if they vote not to convict, he has still been impeached.
Which accomplishes what? Clinton was "impeached" by the House. The chicken Senate did not act. What penalty did he pay?
He wasn't removed form office., censured, chastised or antthing else.So, what was accomplished?
As one of our radio hosts (locally) said today: it seems like Obama must play Frank Sinatra's song. I did it my way, every day!!!!! and he believes he can do it just like Sinatra!!!
Obama knew this but went ahead with his unconstitutional action anyway.
What contempt for our Law he continuously displays with his actions.
You obviously missed the part where the senate gaveled in a couple minutes and accomplished NO work.
IE its not a completely unreasonable argument. The supreme court has decided this, and against the president. That doesn't mean the president believed he was doing something wrong when he did it.
Actually what they did was say that The Senate has the power to come into session every 10 days during a recess.
They didnt actually strike down the Presidents ability to make recess appointments( as it is in the Constitution).
Also, Recess appointments didnt start in the Obama administration, and he has done it the least of the last 5 Presidents. 32 times as compared to Reagans 208 times.
What anyone else did for appointments has nothing to do with what Obama did when there was not a recess.
President Obama’s team suffered their twelfth unanimous defeat at the Supreme Court in the legal challenge to the so-called recess appointments made when Congress was not actually in recess, a string of defeats that only represents “the tip of the iceberg,” according to Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah).
“Not every case in which the president has exceeded his authority has made it all the way to the Supreme Court,” Lee, a former law clerk to Justice Samuel Alito, told National Review Online. “The fact that his track record is as bad as it is in the Supreme Court . . . is yet another indication of the fact that we’ve got a president who is playing fast and loose with the Constitution.”

It only goes to illustrate that he will do anything he desires unless forced to stop.
It must be killing him to be told that he really isn't special and above the law.
