Sgt. Bergdahl and the Impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama

 

Although impeachment of government officials in America–most often federal justices–is not at all uncommon, impeaching the President of the United States is a grave undertaking which, due to its gravity, has rarely been attempted in our 225 year history; only two of our forty-four Chief Executives, Andrew Johnson and William Clinton, have been successfully impeached and both were acquitted.

Often misunderstood, impeachment is actually nothing more than an accusation, an indictment brought against a federal official which, in the case of a president, is tried in the U.S. Senate with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding and requiring 66 2/3% of senators present for conviction.

Much as I have never favored impeaching President Barack Hussein Obama for his many egregious  ”high crimes and misdemeanors” and, most recently, treasonous acts he has been accused of committing over the course of his five plus years of his presidency, it may now be time to consider that momentous and dire step in order to preserve what is left of our Constitution and the constitutional protections of American citizens.

The chief reason many concerned Americans, far more astute than I, have opposed the impeachment route to remove Obama from office has been, frankly, fear for our country’s safety and survival should he be convicted and forced to resign the presidency.

Due to the usually blind, unquestioning allegiance of Obama’s chief constituency, African-Americans, there is a significant  possibility the United States would face unprecedented upheaval, rioting, and literal insurrection by that community who would be incensed over the impeachment and conviction of the first black president.

Supplemented in those upheavals by malcontents who have long agitated for our downfall, they might just succeed in effectively destroying the country.

However, as risky as it is but in view of recent demonstrations that the Obama administration has utter contempt for the Congress, the Constitution, and the American people, it’s time to seriously consider indicting the president for his high crimes before he goes any further down the path to dictatorial rule. . . .
