The time has arrived for the U.S. House of Representatives to seriously consider the impeachment of President Obama.
Article 2, Section 4 of our Constitution grants removal of the president, vice president and all civil officers “on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,” which include abuse of power and misconduct in office.
President Obama has abused his power and demonstrated misconduct in the office of presidency in the following ways:
1. By stopping drilling for oil offshore, his administration has ignored the absolute military necessity for oil in protecting our nation; our military is heavily dependent on oil for such machines as missiles, airplanes, drones, trucks, automobiles, etc. In an emergency, as the current unrest in the Middle East shows, we cannot rely safely on Middle East oil to supply our national security needs.
2. In addition, our civilian need for oil is at an all-time high. With gas prices now well over $3 per gallon and rising rapidly, the cost of producing most commodities, goods and services will rise dramatically; these include farming, heating/cooling, food, delivery of goods, clothing, housing, manufacturing, travel, etc. Rising prices will destroy more jobs, bring about more layoffs, cause more real estate foreclosures and reduce tax income for local, state and federal governments, all of which are even now strapped for cash. The upshot of such an absurd drilling policy is likely to be a precipitous national plunge into even deeper recession or, perhaps, a prolonged depression.
3. Not drilling for safety reasons is a ruse. Other nations such as Cuba and Russia drill for oil offshore, and we can’t stop them. Nor are they better equipped than we to remove the oil safely. The BP oil spill was unfortunate, but that spill is no reason to shut down drilling offshore.
President Obama’s energy policy of intentionally increasing energy costs demonstrates not only poor economic judgment and lack of insight into our national security needs, but also is cause for his conviction on charges of misconduct in office, misuse of power, undermining of our national security, eroding our economy, and other misdemeanors against our beloved United States of America.
