All our presidents have conducted some secret CIA covert operations, overthrowing of governments etc. They should all be impeached according to the original poster.


it seems like this drone killings he's doing should be illegal.. sending a machine into a foreign country and killing people inside that country doesn't sound very legal... what would happen if china sent drones into the US doing the same thing?

This is why I vote Libertarian. Not our problem to police the world. America likes to push people around, but when they get pushed around they are the victim.

i don't know... we only have this one world to live on, and if other countries are doing things like dumping chemicals in the ocean, pumping poisons in the air, or messing up with nuclear power, shouldn't someone try to stop these things from happening? i just read an article were russia sunk about 15 nuclear powered ships and subs in the ocean. is this something we really want?

technology is about 'efficiency',, its in civilian life and can be expected in military life too

its more 'efficient' to remotely operate unmanned machinery into battle than it is to risk human life,,,

plus it introduces a whole new issue to our 'constitutional' powers, being that the subject of 'troops' is removed,,,,,

September 22, 2012 “Information Clearing House” – Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC) held a press conference, Sept. 21, in Rayburn B-318, to discuss House Concurrent Resolution 107. Rep. Jones was joined by a group of senior retired military officials, constitutional lawyers, and congressional co-sponsors, to discuss HCR 107 (the bill to send an impeachment warning to Obama), which currently has 11 cosponsors.

This bi-partisan resolution, introduced in March of this year, reasserts the power of Congress to declare war, and states that any President who circumvents Congress, unless the United States is attacked, will face an article of impeachment.
Speakers at the press conference included:

Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC)

Bruce Fein, specialist in constitutional and international law, Associate Deputy Attorney General under President Reagan, author, “American Empire: Before the Fall”.

Lt. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (USA.Ret), former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002-05) Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer, author of “Operation Dark Heart”, exposed the Pentagon data mining program known as Able Danger, and uncovered two terrorist cells involved in 911.

A statement of support from Gen. Joseph P. Hoar (USMC-ret.), who served as the Chief of Staff and later as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Command, was also read.

HCON 107 IH

112th CONGRESS

2d Session



H. CON. RES. 107

Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

March 7, 2012

Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.


I have no respect at all for Jones. The guy is a racist who was a regular guest on various White Supremacy talk and news shows.

Our government impeached Bill Clinton over a blowjob. 65 million dollars spent on that. What a slap to the face of the American people. We have real issues and problems.
Nope,because he lied under Oath!
