Barack Obama
The staff of U.S. President Barack Obama is stating
rival Republicans seek to impeach him. The Blaze website published
an article stating the president's cabinet full expects it.
Considering the Obama Administration's penchant for illegally spying
on people, as revealed in the NSA Prism scandal, as exposed by
former government contractor, Edward Snowden, they've heard
something and are bracing themselves.
The Blaze reported, "The topic first made news
Friday after Dan Pfeiffer, a counselor to the president, told a
Christian Science Monitor breakfast: 'I would not discount that
possibility. I think Speaker Boehner, by going down the path of this
lawsuit, has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering
impeachment at some in the future.' Asked about the comment, Earnest
said, 'There are senior members of the Republican Party, or
prominent voices in the Republican Party who are calling for exactly
that.'" ...

White House: Republicans May Push to Impeach Obama If They Get
the Chance
Jul. 25, 2014 5:00 pm - The notion of impeaching
President Barack Obama got substantial attention Friday from two
White House officials, who both said senior Republicans wanted to
see it happen. But they couldn’t name any senior Republicans when
pressed. Further, White House press secretary Josh Earnest expressed
doubt about whether House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was sincere
when he said impeachment is not on the table.
“I do believe that the speaker said on a number of
occasions that there would not be steps taken by Republicans to shut
down the government over health care,” Earnest said of Boehner,
adding, “Maybe you need to ask him a little bit more about whether
impeachment is on the table or not.”
Some conservatives have called for impeaching Obama
regarding executive overreach on issues such as Obamacare,
immigration and guns without congressional authorization. The
Democratic National Committee and Organizing for America have
consistently used impeachment in fundraising emails to warn donors
about what could happen if Republicans win more seats in the House
and gain control of the Senate.
