Barack Obama Needs to be Impeached Now!
By Steve Baldwin, Impeach Obamacampaign.com
When some people hear that there's a movement to persuade Congress to impeach President Barack Obama, they often dismiss it as a joke. But it is no longer a laughing matter. With the economy continuing downward and a foreign policy that is making America less safe, the impeachment option must now be seriously considered.
Many Americans wrongly assume that to impeach a president, an actual crime needs to be committed.
The reality is, however, that our nation's founders were concerned that America would some day have a president who may not commit an actual crime, but would rather pursue policies so detrimental to America's interests, that they would cause irreparable damage
to the country.
As a result of this concern, our founders inserted language into the Constitution that gave Congress the power to impeach the president for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
The term "high crimes and misdemeanors" is an Old English phrase, which, in those days, meant simply "bad behavior," but can be translated in modern terms to mean incompetent leadership that imperils the country.
