Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer recently suggested that Obama’s use of executive action to grant amnesty is an “impeachable offense” designed to “abolish whole sections” of American law.
Similarly, Judge Andrew Napolitano has also stated that if Obama were to declare illegal immigrant amnesty, then those actions constitute an “impeachable offense.”

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) has a differing viewpoint – but not for the reason you might think.
Appearing on the O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly asked Gowdy if anyone in the House of Representatives would consider impeachment.
Gowdy’s response?

“Have you met Joe Biden?”
Watch the segment below …
Via The Daily Caller:
“What about what Judge [Andrew] Napolitano raised,” host Bill O’Reilly asked. “That this is an impeachable situation because it does go against Congress making the laws, because the president is making a new law. And the new law says that if you have children who are American citizens even though you yourself are an illegal undocumented person, you can stay in this country. That supersedes the old law. Napolitano claims it’s unconstitutional and impeachable. Do you see anybody going down that road in the House?”
Gowdy shut down talk of impeachment with a simple one-liner: “Have you met Joe Biden?”
Gowdy proceeded to give a litany of other reasons why he thought impeachment would be impolitic and fruitless. But really, the idea of Biden presidency? ‘Nuff said.

I haven’t met Joe Biden, and that may be a good reason not to remove Obama from office. But I know another reason not to undertake the impeachment of Obama. There are 44 Democrats and 2 Democratic-leaning Senators; there may be one more if the GOP doesn’t win the runoff in Louisiana. Not one of those 46 or 47 Senators will vote to remove Obama from office under any circumstances. But to remove him from office, you’d have to get 13 (or 14, depending on Louisiana) of them to vote for removal.
Do any of you remember what happened in the polls when impeachment of Bill Clinton was attempted? Clinton’s media supporters turned it all into a circus, the whole thing failed, and not one single thing was accomplished. Instead, the American people said that the Republican Party had tied up the entire government with a circus about a randy intern and a lecherous president.
Leave it alone. After January, he’s not getting anything else through the Congress that Republicans don’t want to see go through. In November, 2016, vote for the Republican presidential candidate and vote Republican in the congressional elections. At that time, we can secure the border, eliminate the ridiculous carbon regulations, and restore constitutional government.
Among other reasons Joe Biden was first chosen as vice presidential running mate to capture the union vote, because he was a “team player,” and because he would be loyal to the President. I have always believed that one of those “other reasons” was that Joe Biden was President Obama’s insurance policy to guarantee he would not be impeached. If a Vice President is loyal to the President but not to his Constitutional oath of office, he is also worthy of impeachment. It was a good insurance policy but a wise President would pick someone who would be able to run the country successfully as President and carry on the vision of the person who selected him as a running mate. Both the President and the Vice President should be impeached or resign. Speaker John Boehner would make a far better President than our present President and VP.
However, our nation is in far deeper trouble than can be solved by just replacing a President, no matter how bad he is/has been for the country. Our mass communications aligned with Hollywood and other anti-God forces have succeeded
in moving a whole generation away from the things of God. What we really need is a massive and deep revival that turns the hearts of the people back to the God of our nation’s fathers and the moral code of the Holy Bible.
May God work in our hearts to do this and may it begin with me . and you … and you ….
Obama feels himself unimpeachable because of his race. Joe Biden would be too busy having fun to do as much harm. And at least he would be an efficient block to La Clinton’s intended Dictatorship. Obama knows that he has impunity to do whatever he wants as he and the Democrats play the race card every chance he get. The Republicans will do very badly in 2016 unless they bring Obama to heel. He is just laughing at their futile efforts to control his Islamic-Marxist intentions..
Obama should be impeached if he puts forth amnesty. The same as Reagan and HW bush were impeached by the republicans when they did the same thing.
I can’t believe just how stupid some of you idiots are.
Impeaching does NOT remove him from Office!!!! It is a punishment.
The GOP is in no better position today than it has been the last 4 years. Even Obama is acting as if the change of guard has taken place, but we all know he’s an idiot anyway. What Obama is doing is goading the GOP and really, most of you are falling for it hook, line and sinker. The GOP doesn’t come into power until the new Congress in January. Harry Reid still reigns and the House passage (the 9th to date) of the Keystone Pipeline last week is nothing more than another piece of legislation Harry Reid is adding to the almost 400 bills the House has already passed, INCLUDING one of many on illegal immigration and securing the border. Obama does not recognize anything the House has submitted, including the bills for the Keystone and immigration. He will veto this latest keystone bill and he will continue to roll with executive power on amnesty because even though he continues to threaten Boehner for not doing anything giving Obama rise to use executive power, the House has passed numerous bills on immigration but Obama doesn’t like them because they don’t grant amnesty. Obama is pushing this mess before the end of the year because he knows the GOP is still powerless even though they won the election.
If they had the power now, I hardly think Obama would have the balls to make threats.
Sit tight. I’m sure once the new Congress is powered by the GOP, and they’re supported by 32 of 50 states governed by republican governors and legislatures, we’re going to see a complete turn of events of how things are handled….which is why we’re already seeing people like Pelosi and Reid talking about new ways of doing things and compromise and all that BS. It’s not going to happen.
The pendulum is about to swing in the other direction.
Damn right he needs to be impeached. The republicans need to impeach him the same as they did Reagan and HW bush when they did the exact same thing. If it was a good enough reason to impeach reagan and HW it is good enough to impeach Obama. Why should republicans be the only ones to be impeached when they go above and beyond the law.
Well, I have news for the Republican leaders in the House AND the Senate. If they do NOT impeach Obama, they can forget electing a president in ’16 ’cause most of us will either vote for an independent, or we won’t vote at all. We conservatives are sick of all the promises they make during their campaigning, but as soon as they win their seat, the promises go out the window. If they allow Obama to do the amnesty thing, then they might as well just merge with the Democrat party, & be done with it. Biden is at least a REAL citizen, & all the gaffes & stupid things he’s done, are just put on to protect Obama. I DID like Trey Gowdy, but now I’m not so sure.
Biden is incompetent, but still feel he would be better than Obama. He is not as radical and is not as narcissistic, nor would he cater to muslims and communism. I do not think he has the disdain for this country that Obama has, thus he would not have the pedal to the metal to transform this country. The corruption is still there that most politicians dabble in.
Better to have a useless idiot than a malicious one.
Obama needs to go!! Joe biden would replace all in a heart beat and that would take him a while – plus with the GOP in charge of the senate they could impeach him also. Two stupid men that morons in this country elected. They too should be not allowed to vote!!
This is exactly the reason why Obama does whatever he wants. He knows they will not do anything about it. THE DO NOTHING REPUBLICANS…..helping destroy America! …..wake up people.
Personally just the thought of this makes me sick! If Obama is allowed to stay in office for the next two years, every tax payer will be paying him for the rest of his life. They need to impeach him. He has brought this country down and if left in office for 2 more years, I feel that he will succeed in completely destroying it! He is a tyrant and needs to be stopped and most importantly, he needs to pay for his crimes against our country!
It is my understanding with the Constitution that if the President is Impeached so our the Vice and the Secretary of State. ANYONE would be better than Obama for the next 2 years.. If Obama can get away with this Krap the next one will do the same. We don’t like our buttons pushed and want the laws of our Constitution enforced. So what they HELL are you guys in Congress for? Get to work and stop him.
Yes, he should be impeached. Biden is nowhere as evil as Obama. He may be a bumbling mess, but that’s OK.
What we want is Obama taken out of office. Period. We cannot have an anti-American President.
If the Republicans do not impeach Obama I think they will lose seats in the House and the Senate come 2016 and they can just forget about the Presidency so they better get the job done they were put there to do.
All they have to do is charge both with treason….very simple, as both are as guilty as the devil….Obama for all the unlawful actions he has committed, and Biden for being his errand boy. Not a big problem if our Reps do what needs to be done. They MOST CERTAINLY CAN have both charged with treason and all the other Obama cohorts. All it takes is to take action, instead of sitting on their useless hands and butts.
Yes get rid of both these America haters.
Mr. Gowdy’s response is certainly Correct. I’m from Syracuse and Love SU butt how did they let him pass and give him a diploma. I know: They Just Wanted Him Gone. lol
I don’t care, fire them both, every president is impeachable even if they started out vice president.
David, I agree!
Biden would suck but he would be walking on egg shells for 2 years wondering if he were next.
Then Impeach him … POTUS John Boehner!!
Nathan, I think impeachment may be the only solution. BHO is completely out of control, and we can’t let a madman remain in office. In old Joe’s case, he’s just an idiot. I’d rather deal with him than an evil Muslim Islamist dictator.
I THINK BILL IS RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO THOUGH SCREAN, LIKE MY DID FOR 2 YEARS, THAT NOT RIGHT!!
What? One of the less intelligible remarks I have ever read. Want to try again in English? Assuming you can speak proper English.
Now we know exactly why obama picked Biden as his running mate for VP, insurance he would never be impeached.
I would impeach Obama if Donald Duck was the Vice.
