There is the slight matter of an impeachable offense. Or have we finally reached the point where the Republicans consider impeachment as just a political maneuver?

Exhibit B. Impeachment proceedings are not supposed to be used as no-confidence votes, you numbskulls.
What this is really about is that there are some people that just can't stand the fact that there is a black man in the White House. That's the truth of the matter.
Oh, let's play the race card. Oh if Obama were just white, all would worship Him.
Because our Founders didn't choose to include a 'no confidence' option in our system of government.
Yes, they did. It's called checks & balances.

Unless you can time travel and convince Madison it's a good idea, this is the way the system works.
The system also has an amendment process, which we could use to today to add a vote of no confidence option without having to time travel.

As for those suggesting impeachment, there are very clear reasons and rules for beginning the impeachment process. 'I don't like him' is not among them. The GOP isn't about to make the attempt again because with Clinton, it just wound up damaging them more than the Democrats.
Obama has most likely done more than enough to get him booted out of office were people like you not more interested in partisanship than in legality. We probably won't know for sure for a long while yet, if ever, because of the stonewalling done by the Justice Department, the IRS, the State Department, and the White House. Most likely they've destroyed the most incriminating of the evidence.
But at some point history will probably find out the truth. Obama is the first black president and is surrounded by controversy. At some point the fawning over Obama will fade, but his historical significance will not. When that happens, people will be able to investigate him without liberal sycophants trying to protect him.

It's what gave rise to the Tea Party. Despite their insistence to the contrary, they were perfectly fine with the financial state of the country under "he-who-must-not-be-named" even though that guy's tax policies and off the books wars are what destroyed the economy to begin with. The hateful racism displayed at Tea Party rallies should lay to rest any doubt of what spurred the rise of that movement, and it had nothing to do with taxes. Unless an Aborigine with a bone through his nose or fields of watermelons somehow relate to high taxes now?
Where are the impeachment charges? Who is going to lead the charge to impeach the President? Speaker Boehner, who announced his intention to sue the President in district court? Does anyone dare to do it? - It would be political suicide.

Wow, you two qualify for positions in the Ministry of Propaganda.
Communist? Wouldn't he actually have to be...ya know...a communist for that to be fact?
I know you think differently, but the man is no communist...at least in the modern sense of the word.
He's a Liberal Democrat, possibly center-leaning Democrat. Don't let your hate get in the way of the facts.
Who said anything about hate? You are too emotional ..Obviously you haven't noticed the difference in the democratic party. It is not the party of JFK who fought the spread of communism.
The democratic party was moderate in JFK's day , as a matter of fact the Republican party is now more liberal than the democratic party of years ago...
The Republican party was in years past equivalent to the Tea Party today.
It all shifted today to far left socialism.. republican party of today have shifted more left as they have compromised to much to the left. Obama is the most liberal president we ever had. He is a socialist .

Comedy gold, right there. Nixon instituted the EPA. Eisenhower coined the term "military-industrial complex" for chrissake.
