‘Action merits impeachment’ and other letters to the editor

Action merits impeachment

When Obama was running for president in 2008, I jokingly said I was going to start a business and sell “Impeach Obama” T-shirts. After more than three years of Obama, it may not be a bad idea.

I know you can’t impeach a president for being totally incompetent or for appointing incompetent people, but it appears to me that his latest shenanigan is in violation of the Constitution. This is an impeachable offense. On June 15, he deliberately made an executive decision that was in defiance of Congress. He effectively enacted the Dream Act, which had been denied by Congress. The Dream Act may have merits, but Obama has no authority to act unilaterally.

This seems to be business as usual for the current administration. I watched C-Span as Eric Holder defied the Republican members of the Senate subcommittee in the gun-walking incident. Holder appointed his own people to investigate the Justice department and refused an independent investigator (duh!).

When will people learn? We have the Solyndra case, the Canadian pipeline, the failed stimulus, the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” support of abortion, and non-support of Israel, to name a few.
