I have not seen any specifics, except a stupid lawsuit that sues the President because he delayed the implementation of a portion of the Affordable Care Act that enabled businesses to get their computers up and running to implement it.

It's just a matter of time. Even if they know it won't succeed, they want an impeachment vote to take back to their constituents just like they wanted some anti-ACA votes. Plus, whether it is justified or not, they believe that it would leave a stain on Obama's Presidency and they would be able to go in front of the public and give it as a "reason" why Democrats shouldn't be allowed to hold the WH in 2016 ("Democrats abuse their power!&quot and it may be enough to fool the public just like George W. Bush's "bringing integrity back to the WH" seemed to work in 2000 (of course, Republicans still need to find a credible candidate).
