I had no idea.
....
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.), who has said there are enough votes in the House to impeach Obama, added: Weve also talked about the I-word, impeachment, which I dont think would get past the Senate in the current climate. .?.?. Is there anything else we can do?
Why, yes, there is, congressman: You can hold hearings that accomplish nothing but allow you to sound fierce for your most rabid constituents.

This excited Franks, who embraced impeachment back in 2011. Obamas actions, he said, could be considered royal prerogatives, which is, if my historys right, what we had that little unpleasantness with Great Britain about.

It comes to pass that Texas Senator and Congressvarmints are still trying to impeach President Obama.
Honey, if they dont have anything better to do they can come over to my house and fix the damn potholes in the street. But, no. Its Christmas and lets impeach Obama!...
They are not using the impeachment word for fear of looking batcrap crazy instead of just regular crazy.
