We’ve been hearing quiet mutterings
lately about the impeachment of Obama, but it seems as if those voices may be
consolidating. A new resolution has been filed to congress that could be
the foundation for the official impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama.
As the resolution written by South
Carolina Congressman Tom Rice states, its purpose is to, “bring a civil action
for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge certain policies and actions
taken by the executive branch.”
The resolution comes on the heels of
Obama’s latest act of defiance against the Constitution. When Obama
snapped his fingers, changing the law of Obamacare, he willingly and knowingly
broke several constitutionally based laws. Our forefathers placed it very
clearly in the Constitution that only Congress could legislate. That
being said, when Obama took it upon himself to change Obamacare as he saw fit,
red flags went up. Certain politicians were quick to point out that this isn’t
the only time he has acted this way, and it was well within their legal bounds
to legally stop him from doing it again.
Currently, the 29 members of
congress in support of the resolution are as follows:
Bachmann (MN), Bridenstine (OK), Chaffetz (UT), J. Duncan
(SC), DeSantis (FL), Franks (AZ), Gowdy (SC), Harris (MD), Lamborn (CO),
LaMalfa (CA), Marino (PA), McClintock (CA), Meadows (NC), Nunnelee (MS),
Pittenger (NC), Posey (FL), Tom Price (GA), Ribble (WI), Salmon (AZ), Sanford
(SC), Schweikert (AZ), Stewart (UT), Stockman (TX), Walberg (MI), Weber (TX),
Wenstrup (OH), Williams (TX), Joe Wilson (SC), and Yoho (FL)
In a letter written to potential
co-sponsors of the bill, Rep. Rice writes, “President Obama has adopted a
practice of picking and choosing which laws he wants to enforce. In most cases,
his laws of choice conveniently coincide with his Administration’s political
agenda. Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and
enforce the laws written by Congress and vested this power in the President.
However, President Obama has chosen to ignore some of the laws written by
Congress and implemented by preceding Presidents.”
As the president’s approval ratings
continue to sink to new, lowest levels, it does not seem that Obama will finish
his second term. This in hand with the growing number of politicians in
favor of removing the president from his prestigious position, could just
transform the idea of his removal into reality.
Feel free to read the entire
resolution and let us know how soon you’d like the government to impeach.
RESOLUTION
Directing the House of
Representatives to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to
challenge certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch.
Whereas President Obama and
officials in his administration have frequently overstepped the limits placed
on executive branch power by the Constitution;
Whereas because of President Obama’s
continuing failure to faithfully execute the laws, his administration’s actions
cannot be addressed by the enactment of new laws, be- cause Congress cannot
assume that the President will execute the new laws any more faithfully than
the laws he has already ignored, leaving Congress with no legislative remedy to
prevent the establishment of what is in effect an imperial presidency; and
Whereas it is therefore necessary
and appropriate for Congress to turn to the courts to ensure the faithful
execution of the laws as required by the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,
SECTION 1. DIRECTING CIVIL ACTION BY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN RESPONSE TO CERTAIN EXECUTIVE BRANCH ACTIONS.
(a) CIVIL ACTION.—The House of
Representatives shall bring a civil action in the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge
any of the following policies or actions:
(1) The policy of the Department of
Health and Human Services that, with respect to health insurance coverage that
is renewed for a policy year during the period beginning January 1, 2014, and
ending October 1, 2014, health insurance issuers may continue to offer coverage
that would otherwise be terminated or cancelled for being out of compliance
with various requirements of title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act and
corresponding portions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as announced by the Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services on November 14, 2013.
(2) The 1-year delay in the
application of the reporting requirements of sections 6055 and 6056 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (and related requirements of section 4980H of
such Code), as provided under Department of the Treasury Notice 2013–45, as
announced by the Department of the Treasury on July 2, 2013.
(3) The policy of the Department of
Homeland Security to exercise prosecutorial discretion with respect to
individuals who came to the United States as children, as announced by the
Department of Homeland Security on June 15, 2012.
(4) The authorization, approval,
renewal, modification, or extension of any experimental, pilot, or
demonstration project under section 1115 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1315) that waives compliance with a requirement of section 407 of such Act (42
U.S.C. 607) through a waiver of section 402 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 602).
(b) NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS PROVIDED TO
BRING ACTIONS.—Any amounts obligated or expended by the House of
Representatives to carry out this resolution during a fiscal year shall be
derived from existing appropriations for salaries and expenses of the House for
that fiscal year, and nothing in this resolution may be construed as
authorizing an increase in the amount of budget authority available to the
House for that fiscal year.
