The right wing shows it has no idea how to govern, what the Constitution says, Beyond the 2nd Amendment, and is just plain hateful and stupid.
Reasons for impeachment according to wingnuts:
1.
To get Obama’s birth certificate. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) suggested
that Congress use the threat of impeachment to force Obama to show his
birth certificate. [10/13/10] (Despite the fact that he needed to prove
citizenship to run in the first place)
2. “Giving away” seven Arctic
islands. Wes Riddle, a Texas congressional candidate and delusional
wackjob, is peddling a bizarre conspiracy theory that Obama gave away
seven Arctic islands to Russia. Despite the fact that the treaty ceding
these islands was ratified by the Senate in 1991, Riddle said he will
push to impeach Obama over the matter. [6/22/12]
3. Obama’s new
immigration policy for undocumented students. Allen Quist, a former
state representative running in Minnesota’s 1st congressional district,
said that he would lead the impeachment charge against Obama for the
president’s new immigration policy that would prevent one million
undocumented students from being deported. [6/26/12]
4. “Refusing to
secure the borders.” Rep. Lamar "I just make shit up" Smith (R-TX) told
radio host Lou Dobbs that Obama is refusing to secure the border and it
“comes awfully close to a violation of [his] oath of office.” [7/19/10]
(As opposed to refusing to govern, a violation of Smith's....But IOKIYAR)
5.
Failing to extended the Bush tax cuts. Angry midget, Grover Norquist,
author (At the age of 12), of the anti-tax pledge that nearly every
Republican in Congress has signed, told National Journal that if Obama
allows the Bush tax cuts to expire, “Republicans will have enough votes
in the Senate in 2014 to impeach.” [1/29/12]
6. Not defending DOMA in
court. Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) said he “absolutely” supports
impeaching Obama after the administration announced it would not defend a
portion of the Defense of Marriage Act in court. [3/2/11]
7. To stop
Obama from passing new laws. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) told a Tea
Party group that he would push for impeachment just to block Obama’s
legislative agenda. “It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would
tie things up,” Burgess said. “No question about that.” [8/9/11]
8.
“Shenanigans” in Obama’s immigration policies. Sen. Jon KK-Kyl (R-AZ),
second-in-command among Senate Republicans, told radio host Bill Bennett
that, because of Obama’s immigration policies, “impeachment is always a
possibility” if there are “shenanigans involved.” [6/26/12]
9. If
Obama used the 14th Amendment to declare the debt ceiling
unconstitutional. During the debt ceiling showdown, Rep. Tim Scott
(R-SC) and other Republicans have floated the possibility of impeaching
Obama if he declared the debt ceiling unconstitutional rather than allow
the country to default. [7/7/11]
10. If the government defaults.
When Republicans forced the debt ceiling crisis, Rep. Steve King and
avowed idiot, (R-IA) announced on Twitter that if Congress doesn’t
increase the debt ceiling and the federal government is forced to
default, “Obama would be impeached.” [7/25/11]
All because they hate the very idea of a black man in the White House. The right wing collectively lost it's mind on Nov. 4 2008. It's evident in their pathological refusal to do their jobs, and govern. Filibustering 100% of recovery efforts, jobs bills and support in favor of preserving tax breaks, and subsidies for the wealthiest corporations in the world!
