| #11 Impeached doesn't necessarily mean removed from office. If my understanding it true than it is pointless against a man with no honor. |

| #10 Relegate Champ to the dung heap of history along with the "Washington Redskins" name (sarc). Relegate Harry R. there also; he is such a weasel with all his created crises such as illegal immigration and the Redskins. All noise and distraction. During the time before they are relegated to the dung heap, they should be serving time in the Graybar Hotel. |

| #9 The worst thing that could happen to this narcissist macaroon, in his mind, would be to ban his name from history, never have his name pass anyone's lips and deny him his legacy. But that is not going to happen...just wishful thinking. |

| #7 I agree John. No sense creating a political victim or party martyr. What a lovely distraction an impeachment would be. Champ would enjoy such a struggle immensely. In fact, I'm not entirely uncertain that he's not actually laying the defensive groundwork for such an event. Better to permit the pain of his indolence and prideful ineptness to continue for another couple of years. This will permit a permanent memory to be etched into the minds of [least some of those] who voted for him. The prop wash of the Champ administrations failures will most assuredly impact every democrat seeking election or reelection, which is another added benefit. |

| #6 Suppose Obama was impeached before 2016. This is the "poison pill alternative" whereby, it is costly to the donks and whoever they put up for President. However, the unintended consequences might come about from impeachment and voters might get very angry with the party that impeaches. The voters might view this as a legal lynching much as they did in the OJ trial which resulted in acquittal. The Senate is not going to convict Champ even if the Pubs win the Senate--not enough votes. Historically, there is a reluctance to convict. The Pubs might just continue as they are on many fronts; i.e. death by a thousand cuts. There seems to be a rich trove of illegality in this administration to draw from if the Pubs decide to play hardball. The Pubs will probably see how the 2014 elections come out. Should they win the Senate and keep the House, their options should be increased. I would think the Pubs are looking at these various alternatives. |

| #5 Can Reid be impeached? The pertinent part of Section 5 of the US Constitution says, Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. |

| #4 Can Reid be impeached? |

| #3 Impeachment isn't going to happen again this President, counter-productive an absolute waste of time. Make him veto Apple Pie, Mom's Lemonade and cheap gas. |

| #2 I shouldn't impeach unless I were very sure of a conviction... Anything less would be viewed as vindication by everyone prepared to think of Republicans as racist or of those who went up against this president as racist. Vote in November. Vote against, if you won't vote for. |

| #1 Obama could not act with such disdain for the law if he wasn't aided and abetted by Harry Reid. The remedy is impeachment after the November elections. Consequences are a b*tch. |
