Rep. Stockman threatens Obama impeachment over guns

[billh58]

46. Well aren't you special?

You actually come on a Democratic discussion board and lecture to us that you voted a "straight democratic ticket?" Should that be a "straight Democratic ticket?" The use of the small "d" is usually a give away, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

As for admonishing us to beware calling someone an "asshole," until we "look up what Obama (you forgot the "President&quot can be impeached for" the answer is that we have looked it up. First of all, the House can bring impeachment charges against President Obama for eating a hamburger. They would rather use an inflammatory issue like gun control so that they can fire up those who can't think for themselves.

"Impeachment" is only a charge, and nothing more. The process begins in the House, and after they get their stories straight, it requires a simple majority to pass the Articles of Impeachment. This is similar to a Grand Jury, although it is subject to partisan politics -- as in the President Clinton impeachment.

From the House it goes to the Senate for the "trial" phase of the process. In order for the Senate to "convict" it requires a two-thirds majority. The Republicans do not have enough votes to carry a conviction -- regardless of the charges.

Now please find the nearest fire extinguisher and apply it to your hair...
