In reply to the discussion: Republicans could totally impeach Obama if they wanted to! [View all]LynneSin

Impeaching is one thing.
But they do not have the votes in the Senate to remove him from office.
Even if the GOP managed to win every single Democrat held senate seat in the 2014 midterm election they still would NOT have enough votes to impeach Bush unless several democrats also crossed over. But I'm not even worried about that happening because 20 of those dem seats up for re-election are in some very very blue states like Massachusetts, Delaware, Hawaii and New Jersey where it would be almost impossible for republicans to win.
