2. Kucinich back tracked on the impeachment bs. Besides Obama has NOT broken any laws. n/t

[JuniperLea]

5. You wouldn't know it by some of the threads around here...

Doesn't matter how many times that lie is debunked either.

[CakeGrrl]

10. Exactly. Some are still throwing "illegal occupation" around

I guess they're stuck viewing President Obama through their G.W. Bush lenses.

39. Weird Knee-Jerk stuff

DU is so odd nowadays.

[SusanaMontana41]

53. You're kidding, right?

Obama is continuing many of the illegal practices of the Bush administration. Propagating the Iraq war is a war crime. Allowing torture is a war crime. Calling for the assassination of an American national is an illegal abuse of power.

This isn't about the person in the office. It's about the powers of the office.

Kucinich was spot on.

9. It isn't. The OP has said this elsewhere. n/t

4. You need an "other choice" ... if you had one ... I would pick it ...

and then suggest that Dennis masturbate more.

That's not an attack on Dennis, he just seems tense.

[DeadEyeDyck]

40. I love Dennis and he is a purist

there is a part of me that agrees with him but that is just not the answer

For me

NO!!!!!!!

[monmouth]

8. Ridiculous poll..n/t

[Ozymanithrax]

12. I think Congress should read the reqisite sections of the War Powers Resolution of 1972...

and if the President is considered to be in violation of that resolution, they should act to maintain the separation of powers.

TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 33 > § 1542

§ 1542. Consultation; initial and regular consultations

The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

As I read the above seciton of the War Powers Resoltuion, it says that "in ever possibel instance." That tells me that unless there is ome surprise attack such as Pearl Harbor the President must consult with Congress before he sends troops.

Explanations of the resolution can be found at (http://www.loc.gov/law/help/war-powers.php)

If it was possible for the President to have consulted with Congress, which it seems it was in this case, then he is in violation of this section of the resolution.

Should he be impeached? Reagan was not impeached for ordering an invasion of Grenada in 1983. The Courts determined at the time that Congress had other remedies. Since they did not do it to Reagan, or even censure him because Congress had other remedies, Obama is likely in the clear. It seems that he does not just stop at admiring Reagan, he emulates Reagan.

21. Not everyone at DU speaks English as a primary language.....

I speak only English yet I had no trouble interpreting his intentions. English is a difficult and MANY native speakers don't do much better. I congratulate him for trying. God knows I couldn't do as well in ANY other language.

Kucinich called for impeachment then later backed down. Whats so hard to understand?

[ReggieVeggie]

24. when did Kucinich call for impeachment?

do you have a link or something?

[nmbluesky]

25. here

[ReggieVeggie]

28. he didn't call for impeachment

nothing in the article you posted says that he did

[Rowdyboy]

31. My pleasure...

Maverick Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich is backing away from his “impeach Barack Obama” statements after it has become apparent that his fellow Democrats and the leadership of his party has no desire to back him.

“You’re not going to get much support for impeachment when the two people pushing it are the leading whack jobs for each of their parties,” a Democratic strategist told Capitol Hill Blue. “They lack the credibility to lead such an effort.”

After Obama authorized the attacks on Libya without consulting Congress, Kucinich said Obama committed “an impeachable offense.”

Now he admits the idea is dead.

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/304882

Ohio Democratic Rep Dennis Kucinich, who had asked for impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney over Iraq, has suggested that President Obama could face impeachment over the constitutionality of the decision to enter Libya militarily, according to a report in Politico.

[ReggieVeggie]

33. once again, Kucinch did not call for impeachment

can you not read?

[doc03]

18. No comprende n/t

[nmbluesky]

20. Fine I don't care

my english language is suck!!!

Yes English is my second language

because everyday, I've heard about Obama's impeachment

you know what

Tea party wants to.....

[Rowdyboy]

22. You made your point clearly. Some people deliberately pretend not to understand....

You did a better job than I could if I tried to write in any other language.

[ReggieVeggie]

23. well, if nmb meant that Kucinich called for Obama's impeachment

I'd like to see a link that makes that claim

[Tx4obama]

26. All you have to do is do a Google or Yahoo search for: kucinich impeach obama

lots of articles will come up.

[ReggieVeggie]

29. and not one of them saying he called for Obama's impeachment

unless the article is proferring lies

[Rowdyboy]

34. Semantics...his website said as much before he removed it

[ReggieVeggie]

35. nonsense

He never called for impeachment

[Rowdyboy]

37. He said way more than enough for me.....

It really doesn't matter what he says. After Ohio Republicans finish with reapportionment he''ll be looking for a job. Good luck applying with the White House.

44. Maybe he'll dump this wife for #4.

Every time Dennis changed careers politically, he jettisoned a wife.


The ex-wives thing tells me all I really neede to know about Saint Dennis.

[ReggieVeggie]

46. And this has what to do with anything here?

I guess Liz Taylor was a REAL scumbag

[Cali_Democrat]

38. Anyone who says that can ****off

Right wingers only.

[ReggieVeggie]

43. who says what?

****?

[MNBrewer]

45. Is there a more nuanced choice?

[bvar22]

47. NO. I didn't hear about Kucinich's Plan to impeach Obama.

You should supply a link to that.


I DID hear Kucinich say that Obama has committed an impeachable offense.
There seems to be some legal support for that statement.

[William769]

48. No. Although I do not like President Obama

He has not done anything to be impeached. Just recalled in 2012.

[slipslidingaway]

49. Please link to a video of Kucinich discussing his plan to impeach Obama. n/t
