The Dems are raising
money by alarming donors with the prospect
of impeachment. “Give money to preserve
our Democrat Senate lest the evil Republicans impeach our President.” I doubt
that will happen but I guess I agree with their premise. So if we impeached Obama, what could we
charge him with? My granddad would have
offered the following as a starter.
“He has refused his
Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.”
“He has…obstruct[ed]
the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners.”
“He has erected a
multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our
People, and eat out their Substance.”
“He has combined with
others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and
unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended
Legislation.”
“For …abolishing our
most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments.”
“He has excited
domestic Insurrections amongst us.”
“In every stage of
these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humbe Terms; Our
repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury. A Prince whose Character is thus marked by
every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a Free People.”
--Declaration
of Independence
Actually great great
great great great grandfather, General Daniel Morgan, didn’t actually sign this
document; but he would have if he’d been in Philadelphia. Nonetheless, he was General Washington’s
southern commander, organizer of the Virginia Sharpshooters. Certainly would have taken a shot at King
George III if he had had a chance. And I think we could bank on him to recommend
the above articles of impeachment. Those
hotheads like George Washington, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams would have been
raising an army by now.
