On January 9, John Karlson wrote the following letter to the editor of The Newton Bee of Newton, Connecticut, demanding President Barack Obama be impeached. He doubled his letter’s impact by sending it first to his congressman, Rep. Chris Murphy, a Democrat:
To the Editor:
The following letter was sent to Congressman Murphy this date.
Dear Congressman Murphy:
I request you start impeachment hearings on the President of the United Sates, under Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution.
As you know, President Obama superseded the Constitution by appointing people without the approval of the Senate. Per the Senate, they were in session. This is the same Senate that was in session for the passage of the Payroll Extension Tax, passed during “informal” session.
Congressman, this is an illegal and impeachable offense.
You also took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and I ask you to uphold your oath of office by starting said impeachment hearings.
Thanking you in advance,
John Karlson
Mr. Karlson is in good company in his assessment that Obama’s “recess” appointments are illicit, illegal, indefensible, and an impeachable offense.
To defend himself, Obama’s political appointees at the Office of Legal Counsel’s rolled out a servile “legal defense” for the actions, which Todd Gaziano of the Heritage Foundation described as “at times, frankly, embarrassing.” Gaziano, a former counsel in OLC, wrote, “Most of the lengthy legal opinion is not on point, since it addresses the use of the recess appointment power when the Senate really is in recess for 21 days or so.”
In fact, this view is shared by the Obama administration itself — and sworn in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2010, Obama’s Deputy Solicitor General Neal Katyal — the assistant to Elena Kagan — told Chief Justice John Roberts, “The — the recess appointment power can work in — in a recess. I think our office has opined the recess has to be longer than 3 days. And — and so, it is potentially available to avert the future crisis that — that could — that could take place with respect to the board. If there are no other questions.”
The nomination process was no better than the nominees. Lachlan Markay writes in The Washington Examiner that one of the NLRB appointees, Richard Griffin, helped International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 150 hide its corruption and was associated with another IUOE chapter whose malfeasance may have added $100 million to Ground Zero costs.
This letter, and so many others like it, prove more Americans across the land believe this president must be stopped.
If you have written or spoken out for impeachment, tell me about it.

This Congress is no better than Obummer himself. If anyone has the gumption to do the right thing, then impeachment will be initiated, however, I wouldn't hold my breath. Frankly, they should have already done their job when they vetted McCain, yet let Obama slide with his foreign born father, which makes him ineligible to be president as he needs to be a natural born not a regular citizen. Both his parents would need to be American citizens, yet here he is president. Guess the Constitution may as well be used for toilet paper as much as our Congress and government enforce it. So much for taking an oath to defend it. Guess they thought it was to destroy it, not defend.
AnitaM, thank GOD someone has finnaly stated the truth about Congress, i support your thinking 100%. I have always said Boehner was OB'S soul brother, and it shows,
All we hear is that is an impeachable offense, this is an impeachable offense, Time they got of their asses and did something besides blowing smoke… There isn't one person in Congress that has stood behind the oath of office they took to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic and our biggest enemy is sitting in the oval office… They have not challenged him regarding anything he has done….
Don't count on this congress doing anything to the USURPER in CHIEF.
They will in fact help him, have they done anything thus far to stop or hinder him?
In other words , his majesty will do as he pleases, he is now beloved ruler!!
“As for me, give me liberty or give me death.”
Lock and load.
I lived in Connecticut from 1961-1995, a hopelessly Demo state. Nothing will be done to harm the so-called Messiah, Barack "Barry" Hussein Obama/Soetoro. Have no fear, Nutmeggers.
I hate to say it but I think you are right. They are all actors. Just another day in DCwood.
This man is a Muslim and Muslims pratice "TAQIYYA" and that if you don't know, is LYING!! The man is doing that well, and he is doing what he wants and thumbs his ose at congress! Congress sits on its thumbs and does NOTHING and looks like a bunch of babies!!
Clocks in Heaven
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.
He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."
"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"
St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's President Obama's clock?" asked the man.
"Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
Too funny Raymond! LOL
Why is it, this town’s Congressman has the guts to stand up and tell Obama what WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND but, Louisiana;s Congressmen WILL NOT???
Hundreds and thousands of letters, calls and e-mails have been sent to the Louisiana Congressmen/women DEMANDING IMPEACHEMENT yet, not a peep out of OUR Congress members?
Why is this Congressman Casiddy??????????????
OBAMA CARES NOTHING ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION

How about ARREST him.
Although I hate to say it, with the Senate controlled by reid and the democrats, impeachment will not happen.
This is true and republicans are to dumb to find away Obuma seems to beat them all the time
WE will never see Obuma impeached because the media is behind him even that blowhard O'Reilly.Sheriff Joe from Arizona is the only one with guts to go after this imposter.
Americans have very little respect for these celebrities, it's evident th
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!????????????????????//
Some say Obama can't be impeached because he is not legally the president, if that's true, what?

Those corrupt representatives (most) don't want to get rid of Obama, it's a very good ride financially for them and they sold us out long ago. Obama is obviously rewarding his pals well, didn't he just ask for another trillion? Gotta keep the scheme going with the big bucks.
