Impeachable Offences

Impeachable Offenses

You have to wonder just how many impeachable offenses the president needs to commit before anything will even be said, much less actually starting impeachment hearings. The congress is afraid to even demand things from the president or his Czars. All they do is make "requests". To these the president doesn't even respond at all and it is as if congress doesn't have a clue what to do when they are ignored.

No one is answering any of the questions about the gun running to the mexicans and who authorized it and the congress is just waiting to see if the American people are going to let it go away. I wonder are we going to let it go away? There has been almost nothing on this, but certainly the media is more than happy to report on Casey Anthony for weeks on end with almost no interruption.

Thomas Jefferson was of the opinion that anyone that defied the constitution or did not hold it in reverence. For some reason we seem to feel this would be an inappropriate reason to ever impeach someone. We have come to love freedom of speech and thought so much that we even tolerate the freedom of speech that would deny our own constitution. We are more than willing to listen to speech from people who would see our nation destroyed. This was not then nor would it ever be the feeling of the founding fathers that such a thing should be tolerated.

I have spoken of the Federalists as if they were a homogeneous body, but this not the truth. Under that name lurks the heretical sect of monarchists (communists - mine). Afraid to wear their own name, they creep under the mantle of Federalism, and the Federalists, like sheep permit the fox to take shelter among them, when pursued by dogs.

These men have no right to office. If a monarchist (communist - mine) be in office, anywhere, and it be known to the president, the oath he has taken to support the Constitution imperiously requires the instantaneous dismission of such office; and I hold the President criminal if he permitted such to remain. To appoint a monarchist to conduct the affairs of a republic, is like appointing an atheist to the priesthood. (From a newspaper letter, June 1803, Paul Leicester Ford, ed., The Writings of Thomas Jefferson 10 Vols. [New York; G.P. Putnam's Sons 1892-1899 8:237)

We have a president who not only refuses to do his duty and remove these sorts of men, but has actually made it a point to appoint almost nothing but these sorts of men to the positions as Czars!

As Mentioned above, the Federalists (republicans now) are like sheep permitting these people to stay in office. It is as though we are not aware that they are directly opposed to the American Constitution. Of course the liberals, democrats, and many of them either communists or with communist/Marxist leanings, if not wholly sold out to the cause, want to pretend to be a viable part of the political process and we allow them to continue!

Even as the monarchists were viewed as a great danger to the republic and obviously opposed to the constitution so is the case with communists and Marxists now. Many of our representatives, though taking the oath of office to defend and support the constitution, are clearly opposed to it both in their words and in their actions.

The President has no right to declare war. This is right reserved to Kings and monarchs and so again our president violates the Constitution. (see Article 1, Section 8) We do not need to wrangle of what are most likely more poorly worded laws which probably entail many pages and confuse the issue to confirm what the Constitution tells us in so few words. The power to declare war is vested in the congress, NOT IN THE PRESIDENT.

We do not need a 1000 reasons to impeach the president. We only need one constitutional mandate broken to impeach the man. Our current president seems to show disdain for the constitution at every turn, feeling that it somehow limits his power. Well that's what it was designed to do and if he doesn't like he most certainly should not be the president. He swore to uphold and defend the constitution and if by his actions or words he does not do this then he should be driven from office and the sooner the better.

So I ask where is the congress in all this. They are even as Jefferson said above, "and the Federalists, like sheep permit the fox to take shelter among them, when pursued by dogs." All we need to do is replace the word federalists with republicans or even just representatives to see that our leaders do not seem it is their place to judge if we have enemies to the Constitution in our midst. This is a very sad state of affairs and one I hope we can reverse before it is too late.
