GOP Rep. Walter Jones: Republicans Have 'Constitutional Duty' To Impeach President Obama

[big_dog]

Source: Right Wing Watch

Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., is upset that congressional Republicans are using legal action and threatening to cut funding to the Department of Homeland Security in their effort to undermine President Obama’s executive actions on immigration. Instead, Jones said yesterday, they should pursue impeachment. Jones told Newsmax host J.D. Hayworth, a former Republican congressman, that members of Congress have a “constitutional duty” to reprove and penalize Obama for allegedly violating the Constitution: “I said that to John Boehner when Mr. Obama made this presidential order, I said why don’t we follow the Constitution, in the Constitution, articles of impeachment? I’m sorry, I don’t like the idea of impeaching anyone, but for goodness sakes when you make those kinds of executive decisions to the detriment of our country, of telling people who came here illegally, ‘You’re now illegal because I just signed an order,’ that’s why we’re in the situation we’re in now, we don’t follow the Constitution.”

1. Finally! Impeach that colored foreigner!

I mean John Boehner, of course.

Where do orange people come from anyway?

[guillaumeb]

4. They have the Loyal Order of the Orange

in Northern Ireland. Is Boehner an Irish name?

There are also a lot of oranges in Florida and California. He could be from one of those states.

If he is an orange, is he the type that is filled with alcohol?

Orange you glad I ran out of orange ideas?

5. From the Willy Wonka movie.

6. They look like they had a rough life working in their dad's bar.

Are all of these 'Boehners' born into ready made jobs?

[icymist]

9. Actually, these are his aunts and uncles.

It's a big orange tent.

[SummerSnow]

7. They come from planet orange which is really the Death Star

[blm]

2. Mr. Jones, tell us how Obama's WH has overreached beyond Bush-Cheney's WH.

Explain to us in detail how Obama has gone far beyond his power of office, further than Bush-Cheney did.

[liberal N proud]

3. Oh - Please do

Yat circus would seal 2016 for Democrats at congressional and presidential levels.

[dawn frenzy adams]

8. It's Freedom Fries Jones Again!

Jones is the nut who declared French Fries were Freedom Fries- because the French didn't support our Iraq Policy. The fact that this old cretin is still in office reveals much about us.

10. You also had the "constitutional duty" to impeach Reagan for Iran-Contra

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Anyone want to tell me what selling 2,512 TOW antitank missiles, 18 HAWK surface-to-air missiles and two batches of HAWK parts to Iran to raise money to fund the nun-raping Nicaraguan Contras is, if it's not treason?

Ronald Reagan should have died in prison over this shit and his entire administration should have been removed for it. As far as running the country, I would have taken the governor of the largest and smallest states with Democratic governors and the largest and smallest states with Republican governors, and the dean of Harvard Law School, and formed a governing council to stand until a new election could be held. The Founding Fathers didn't build this into the Constitution, but they also didn't think they'd need to - do you think they envisioned the president selling guns to the enemy?

13. heck, Bush I knew about it too, he should have taken the fall for Raygun

at least Reagan could blame the dementia

[blm]

19. Poppy Bush RAN all covert ops. He used Reagan's dementia at will.

11. so sad its funny

All this talk of impeachment and lawsuits is the GOP pathetically trying to stay legitimemt. Unforuntunatly, most GOP voters are so brainwashed by the GOP propaganda they don't even see they aren't even following the so called "Constitution" they all claim to know and love

[SoapBox]

12. How about jailing the Bush War Criminals...

Killed untold thousands and cost us trillions of our dollars.

[truthisfreedom]

14. "telling people who came here illegally, ‘You’re now illegal..."

Such idiocy in the right. They can't even make a point.

[Thor_MN]

15. And statements such as that are grounds for a competency hearing

before he pulls his pants down on the House floor, waves his arms in the air and starts shouting "Pickles!!! Pickles!!"

[PatriceKelly]

16. Bush?

Whoever heard of Bush being impeached? You know. The real war criminal....

[Vinca]

18. I wish the POTUS would mess with these people and hint that he doesn't intend to leave in 2017.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. God, the fun we all could have!! Great idea!

[Paladin]

21. Bring it on, shitbirds.

No surprise that the repulsive J.D. Hayworth is involved in this non-story.

[1StrongBlackMan]

22. Well ... Get to drafting the Articles of Impeachment ...

and get on with it, Rep. Walter Jones.

And bring a pen and a notebook ... as you will be getting a lesson of the US Constitution.
