Last
week,
Jeffrey Lord asked the following question in this space: “Should Obama
be impeached?” I have enormous respect for Lord, and agree with
virtually everything he writes, but his column reflects an unsettling
trend in the way many view this issue. Most pundits and politicians
discuss
Obama’s serial violations of the Constitution as if mulling an
interesting academic subject. They ponder such arcana as the definition
of
“high crimes and misdemeanors,” the number of Senate votes required to
convict an impeached President, the effect of the process on the
GOP’s electoral prospects in 2016, ad infinitum. Few, however, discuss
impeachment as a serious possibility or even a rational course of
action.
In a less complacent
nation, Lord’s question would not be rhetorical. It is the duty of the
House
of Representatives to impeach Obama. Every member of Congress takes an
oath to defend the Constitution and the President has declared war on
that
foundational document.
