Correct, Congress's approval is low, but if you look at the individual Congressmen their personal approval ratings are counterintuitively high. It's like everyone in America hates congress, but likes their own Congressman (especially when they don't compromise).

Yup. The "public interest" is blandly defined, but its actual meaning takes the guise of "good for my folks, but probably bad for you folks." One could more convincingly discuss the lack of action from Congress than it could discuss its lack of relative popularity.

[/B]and yet I think that Obama should have been impeached the last time he went to war with Libya without congressional approval and went past the limit allowed in the Constitution. (a crime) It was blind partisanship that has allowed him to continue.




Your comment here sounds mighty partisan to me, but I continue to support your 1st Amendment right to say whatever you want to say.

Maybe I'll like your next comment.

This National Disaster will not be impeached.
However he will still be as f-ed up as he is now......or worse.




If you take a look around Washington, D.C. you will find a lot of messed up people on both sides of the aisle.
and some of them have been sent back to Washington many times.

Why do the voters keep sending non-performers back to Washington?




"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.
 
Obama could perform human sacrifices on the White House lawn and the Dems would not vote to impeach him. As long as the Dems have a majority in one of the Houses of Congress, you can forget them ever impeaching a Dem President.

For the same reason they gave a non-performing President a second chance.
 
Clinton was impeached, remember. Kenn Starr and his witch hunt and all they could pin on him is denying he had sex and that this was impeachable because it was done during a testimony/official interview.

He was impeached. He was impeached, but not removed from office.

Remember folks, impeachment, for the most part, is primarily a political weapon used against a political foe who may flirt with the edge of outright criminality. There is less high-mindedness with it than many would argue. All of the previous impeachment processes were heavily imbued with partisan wrangling rather than pursuit of impartial justice. That being said, it is usually reserved for the more significant political sins.

Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives but acquitted at the trials held by the Senate: Andrew Johnson (trial) and Bill Clinton (trial).

So, I'm 50% right and 50% wrong. One out two ain't bad.
 
He's not going to be impeached. He's made some mistakes, but none worthy of impeachment.
 
Source please unless we're just playing semantics.

I almost got to the moon - does that count?

Impeachment is a formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on the country, may include the removal of that official from office as well as criminal or civil punishment.

Regardless of the outcome, the president is impeached so Gipper was right and I am right too.

Clinton was impeached but was found not guilty and thus not removed from office.
 
Congress has no apatite for impeachment after the Clinton mess. They also won't impeach Obama because they don't want history to record the impeachment of our first half black president. Obama knows it. That's why he's doing whatever he does whenever he wants to do it. Impeachment is a political act and there is no political will in Congress for it.
 
Remember, they UNSUCCESSFULLY attempted to impeach him.

I attempted to jump to the moon this morning but I was unsuccessful. I'll try again after lunch.

Not gonna happen. We are NOT a Meritocracy.

Actually Clinton was successfully impeach, since impeachment means that charges are brought against him. What you are thinking is that Senate did not convict him of the charges and that's why he wasn't removed from office.
 
I don't have time to waste with you fella. Take a hike.

This conversation is over with. You just stepped on my nerves.

:lamo In other words you can't answer the question. Because it is not partisan. :lamo If you can't explain your reasoning then why are you on a debate site?
 
I doubt he will be impeached. This isn't the days of Nixon where a president may be held accountable like, those days are over and have been replaced by extreme partisan apologists.

It wasn't that sterling of times. Nixon never had to be held accountable. He resigned to avoid the impeachment and then had Ford give him a full pardon.

For a moment - think what a Nixon administration would or could have done with an empathetic MSM that exists now with President Obama? He may not have resigned...

Yes. I understand. Thank you.

You are talking to yourself.

That is hard to say. Different environments with the news media definitely. But still would not consider Nixon having to be accountable.

On the same shoe, just imagine if things got so heated that Obama resigned with an impeachment hearing coming and the reaction if Biden fully pardoned him?

As politically jaded as I am, I would fully expect such a thing from Biden or were this reversed, from any political party. Could you imagine a scenario where Biden wouldn't pardon him from prosecution? Perhaps something so heinous like a murder or something like that but certainly, I can't think of a political activity where Biden wouldn't pardon Obama in this hypothetical case.

You need a source to know that Clinton was impeached? Prepare to be mocked.

But he was never removed from office because of being impeached.

I know this. I said he was impeached, not that he was removed from office.

The GOP won't impeach him because they would like the freedom to do the various potentially impeachable things which Obama has done.
The hogs in DC all eat from the same trough.
