If We Took the Constitution Seriously, Obama Would Be Impeached
If
the citizens of this Republic still took the Constitution seriously, Obama would
be impeached for his decision to unilaterally grant amnesty to certain illegal
aliens.
Article 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution,
which enumerates the power of Congress, states that "Congress shall have the
Power To... establish an [sic] uniform Rule of Naturalization." Congress has
passed numerous laws pertaining to immigration and naturalization, including
laws requiring the deportation of illegals.
The
role of the President, according to Article II, Sec. 3, is to "take Care that
the Laws be faithfully executed." Obama's refusal to
execute Congress's immigration laws (or, for that matter, Congress's Defense of
Marriage Act) is an impeachable offense. Article II, Sec. 4 states that the
President "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment
for... Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The deliberate
failure to enforce valid immigration law and allow hordes of foreigners to live
and work in the U.S. is, arguably, "treason," and doing so in an election year
to appease Hispanic voters could certainly be considered "bribery."
In
theory, Obama could exercise his power in Article II, Sec 2. to "grant Reprieves
and Pardons for Offenses against the United States" and offer a blanket pardon
for all violators of immigration law. He's not doing that, because he'd
certainly lose in November if he did. (However we should be concerned that if he
does lose in November, he'll do it anyway on his last day in
office).
The
upshot of Obama's policy not only to allow hundreds of thousands of illegals to
live and work in the U.S. during a time of 8 to 10% unemployment, but even
worse, since the vast number of illegals we're talking about are Hispanics
eligible for affirmative-action preferences, to actually get preferential
treatment over native-born
Americans.
Remember Obama's speech in Berlin in
2008? Well, now you know what "citizen of the world" means: instituting an
illegal and unconstitutional policy that favors Third Worlders, and
disadvantages people actually born as U.S. citizens.
Of
course, he'll get away with it... if you think the gutless Republicans in the
House actually represent the interests of their native born constituents and
will introduce articles of impeachment, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell
you....
