John Boehner on July 19, 2013: "This whole talk about impeachment is coming from the president's own staff and coming from Democrats on Capitol Hill. Why? Because they're trying to rally their people to give money and to show up in this year's election. We have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans. Listen -- it's all a scam started by Democrats at the White House."
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) on July 16, 2014: "Not a day goes by when people don't talk to us about impeachment. I don't know what rises to that level yet, but I know that there's a mounting frustration that a lot of people are getting to and I think Congress is going to start looking at it very seriously."
Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) on August 5, 2014: “If you were to ask persons and many folks in the House, has the president violated the law and will he be worthy of impeachment, I think a fair number of people would say yes.”
Rep. Walter "Freedom Fries" Jones (R-NC) on August 5, 2014: “I am one that believes sincerely that the Constitution says that when a president, be it a Republican or a Democrat exceeds his authority and you can’t stop the president from exceeding his authority, then we do have what’s called impeachment. Thank Alexander Hamilton. He felt that the Congress need to use this process to get the attention of a president. And if the president had lost the public trust then move forward in that area.”
Oh hell, the list of Republicans calling for President Blackenstein's impeachment is too long to mention here. In fact, shitloads of Republicans have brought up impeachment.
I think the real debate should be: Is John Boehner the all-time worst Speaker of the House, or is he simply in the top five of all-time worst Speakers? He certainly has no control over the Bagger Caucus.
In any event, I would love to see Republicans start attacking each other for not being clear enough on whether they want to impeach Obama.
