John Boehner: Talk of Impeaching Obama Is ‘A SCAM Started by Democrats’
If anyone,...this orange weasel is an expert on 'SCAMS'..................
Republicans have no plans to begin impeachment proceedings against President Barack Obama, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner declared on Tuesday, putting the blame on Democrats for stirring up pre-midterm election tensions in Washington.
Boehner is, however, hoping this week to pass Republican legislation that would authorize a lawsuit, claiming Obama overstepped his powers in ordering unilateral changes to his landmark healthcare law known as Obamacare. Any such lawsuit could take years to wind through the court system.
Meanwhile, Obama is weighing whether to take executive action to scale back deportations of some undocumented residents,
a move that would further rachet up tensions with Republicans, who have blocked comprehensive changes to U.S. immigration law, insisting the president take stronger action to stop the flow of illegal migrants. We have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans, Boehner said in response to a reporters question.
He noted that it was the Democrats themselves who have been raising the notion of a Republican impeachment effort, using it to incite liberal voters and win campaign contributions for Democratic candidates running for re-election to Congress in November. Its all a scam started by Democrats, Boehner said.
Last week, White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters that unilateral action by Obama on immigration reform will certainly up the likelihood that
they (Republicans) would consider impeachment. Since Obamas first term, some conservative
Republicans have mused about impeachment, which would be the initial step in a two-step process that allows Congress to remove a sitting president.
