He needs to break a law before they (the senate and the house) can start the process of impeachment. I won't happen. With the midterm elections Obama has very little power.

They won't kick him out of office because it will more than likely cause this huge uproar, someone will claim it's about race and all hell will break loose.

I think small business owners that barely fall into that upper class are hit the hardest.

They are being taxed out of the wazoo thus being unable to maintain their business in order to stay within the laws.

It sucks, it discourages entrepreneurs and allows shady policies to be put in place to skirt around laws.

ie: Look at the number of part time jobs versus full time positions.

Its not likely... off topic, im scared for people from furgeson... national gaurd is getting ready....

Basically the first paragraph is my firm belief in what our founding fathers helped establish, and the second is my personal political opinion based on what our nation is currently facing.

No, the whole point of having a House of Representatives is to keep our president in check, once we allow him to break our laws by going over the heads of our house, we are inviting a dictator into our head of state position. I will never ever support any president republican or Democrat to flounce the legislative system we have in place.

I believe that some of his legislation would pass if he wasn't so he'll bent on benefitting only a certain cut of our population. He hasn't proposed anything that would benefit the military families or middle class, and he strongly opposes any benefits toward the upper class, which imo would trickle down to the middle and lower classes.

Monkey, if you look that particular dictionary impeach is included as both a noun and a verb.

When speaking in terms of government and politics it is generally a noun, meaning it is a charge made against a public official. That's why I explained that in my original comment.

The verb is general English language usage. I was simply offering information in my initial comment.

I wasn't referring to you in my last comment I was referring to the other poster, I think I misread her comment but I was put off by what I interpreted as a condescending comment offering a history lesson.

Lala I don't know who your post is referring to but per the Merriam Webster dictionary one of the definitions states "to remove from office".

A president can be impeached for committed treason, bribary, and basically any other crime, felony or misdemeanor, and some people (myself included) believe that Obama has committed illegal acts while in office, the most recent being an attempt to go over our judicial system in order to pass legislation.

I'm an Australian, but interested. What has he done?

And Roxy I'm not even sure you were responding to my comment because yours is so vague but the "history" thing was rude, you can inform without being condescending, not everyone is going to be as educated in the every subject area.

Definition of the day: impeachment is the federal charge of wrongdoing against a federal official. He was impeached and acquitted, but he was still impeached, just like Nixon was and resigned.

Thanks for the "history" lesson, but I have a degree in history, and didn't need one.

Impeachment has more than one definition. One of which means removed from office so we are both right. I did not know the other definitions till I looked them up. ?

The House of Representatives brought 2 articles of impeachment against Clinton. The Senate later voted on whether to keep him in office or not. They didn't get the majority so he was acquitted of the impeachment charges. History lesson of the day but wow time flies, doesn't seem like that long ago but almost 20 years.

Clinton was impeached (which basically means he was charged with a crime) but he was acquitted, which means he was basically given a "not guilty" verdict. Impeached means he is being charged with a crime while in office, but not that he necessarily was removed from office.

Nixon was also impeached and he would have likely been removed from office had he not resigned first.

There's an even better chance now that the Republicans have the majority in the Senate and the House.

Clinton was not impeached.

If we are lucky.

With any luck

It's possible, yes. Clinton was impeached.
