According to Representative Lou Barletta, there just may be enough votes in the House to impeach President Obama. Barletta contends that Obama’s flagrant disregard for the Constitution may have created an atmosphere in which he could lose the White House. Whether that actually happens is of course another story entirely.
“He’s just absolutely ignoring the Constitution, and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances,” Barletta opined June 16 on News Radio 910 WSBA with Gary Sutton.
The impeachment discussion came after Sutton and Barletta addressed illegal immigration. Sutton made the point that the president was not “faithfully executing the laws of this country.” In agreement, Barletta said, “Well we have a president that has taken this to a new level.”
Barletta went on to mention that lawmakers could respond to President Obama’s disregard for the Constitution through impeachment. “For those that say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws – could that pass in the House? It probably could,” Barletta said.
Obama’s treatment of the issue of illegal immigration is just one of many misdeeds that have led some to engage in a discussion of impeachment.
