At all.
The candidate who lost to Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate
race in Illinois believes the president has committed several high crimes and
misdemeanors that warrant impeachment.
And Keyes, a WND columnist who was given the prestigious
Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award by the social and political advocacy
organization The Creative Coalition on Oct. 14, is not shy about using his First
Amendment rights to express his opinions.
Keyes, who was appointed U.N. Economic and Social Council
ambassador by President Reagan, made a case for impeachment in a September
column. In a new interview with WND, he laid out three areas in which he
believes the president has committed impeachable offenses.
First, he said, Obama has abused executive orders. He
explained the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly mention executive orders,
and such orders are simply meant to be directions from the president to the
various executive departments and agencies. In other words, they are the
president’s way of telling the bureaucrats under his control how to enforce laws
and regulations.
But that only applies when the orders follow the country’s
law and regulations, Keyes said.
“If the orders deal with things not authorized by law or
[are] contrary to the Constitution, then he commits an impeachable offense,”
Keyes said. “He is basically violating his sworn duty, which is to see that the
laws are faithfully executed, and to uphold and preserve the Constitution of the
United States.”
