I think I’m gonna like Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman:

DAILY CALLER – Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.

Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”

I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.

MORE…

This is exactly what Republicans should sound like on many issues, not just guns.

It's about damn time. How many unconstitutional/un-American things has obama already done? Lost track. I said a long time ago obama would keep pushing his luck until he went too far and Congress would have no choice but to impeach him. Of course the Senate will never go along w it but the House should refuse to fund one single thing that obama wants. Make him the lamest duck president in history.

Executive orders do not grant rights to violate the law or write new law; congress writes the law, not the president. Any executive order which obama may sign is laughable, lacks the force of law and will be ignored by many millions of americans. Congress should bring about impeachment proceedings against the president immediately. Any such executive order will be a violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution and constitutes an impeachable offense.

Obama should have been impeached in his first term for all the lies and his diversions from the real issues. Gun control does nothing, criminals use illegal weapons. Lets get to the real issues, like Hurricane Sandy bill with so much pork that has thousands of people still suffering, the deficit and overspending, jobs and unemployment, and the list goes on and on.....I wonder who the republicans will nominate in the next presidential election?

The only problem is that ONE Representative can't accomplish anything if the majority of the House won't support it. Seeing as how they've remained essentially SILENT all of this time on the crap that Obama has ALREADY done, I don't believe they'll react much differently. It's too bad that impeachment can't be accomplished with a class action lawsuit or some other method. It's a shame we can't have a recall election.

I called his office this morning and told him I would support his work, as opposed to my spineless representative here in NE PA. I also called my own rep to tell him that I finally, FINALLY found someone who would represent me. He just happens to live in TX. Oh well.

A tempest in a teapot. With the current GOP leadership this will never fly. They are in Obama's pocket. Even if the house impeaches, the senate won't convict. This wicked administration that despises our Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights will roll on unimpeded by anything. The only speed bump for them, is the Republican majority in the House of Representatives and we've all seen how useless that is. They posture, pose and run their big mouths for headlines and then go along with the liberals and further shove our nation down the toilet. We need to quit looking for a person to save this mess. No person can do it.

According to you there is no hope. So why are you here complaining? Not going to fight, get out of our way.

you sound like the loser RINOs we are fighting agains in DC. If you had been there with Washington during the Revolution, we would all still be wearing wigs!!! It's about setting the stage defining the battle. Get a backbone, will ya?

I didn't say there was no hope. I said there is no person who can fix it. Since you can see no further than human solutions, the point of my comment was lost on you. Someone else quotes "Tom Landry" as though that little fortune cookie tidbit means anything. You mention Washington as though you are in the bloody battle with him. Folks up here are spouting platitudes and fierce challenges all over the place but are doing NOTHING. What are you doing about this? Depending on human abilities that have always failed?

Prayer, turn to God, repent, bend your knee to the Lord, and live your life in a manner pleasing to Him. We have a moral cancer that the current political nightmare is a symptom of, but the godless people are the cause of. I'm doing what your hero Washington did, praying. Only God can fix this mess we are in. Mankind has failed at every attempt of self government in recorded history.

That was the point of my comment. I was hoping some would see it.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I suggest you spend a little more time in the New Testament, specifically in Romans 13 where the role of government is clearly discussed by Paul. As a republic we are responsible for our votes and who we elect. Rome at that time was NOT a republic. As long as we are "we the people" we hold the AUTHORITY in our hands. Obama works for us, not the other way around. We have the right and authority to impeach this man and if Rep Stockman is willing to sound the alarm, then I will support him. In Genesis, Caleb and Joshua were only 2 against 10. It didn't work out so well for the 10, did it?

Obama is considering 19 Executive Orders on Guns.

That is NINETEEN MORE usurpations of power and control. Along with the rest of his assaults on the Constitution and usurpations of Executive power, that makes Obama the most impeachable POTUS in the history of the USA.

As the alleged biological and the adoptive son of foreign nationals, Obama was never Constitutionally qualified to run for office to begin with.

Sounds like a plan to me! but I'm sure Boehner and McConnell will nip this whole movement in the bud! The Republicans are no better than their communist bretheren, the Democrats. Their love of power and money FAR outweighs their love of country and it's citizens' rights.

Never in the history of this nation, has any POTUS and a whole administration been more worthy of IMPEACHMENT.

Obama and his entire Cabinet, his Czars, the leaders of both parties, the CIA, FBI (who allowed an unqualified subversive to be a candidate and run for office), the Pentagon, the Secret Service, have shown themselves to be corrupt, contemptuous of the Constitution, unpatriotic, openly immoral and contemptuous of laws of GOD and this nation.

With very few exeptions...

I also say that the right to bare arms is probably the last right of the Constitution left. All the others are virtually non-EXSISTANT to the extreme. Freedom of speech hasn't existed since the first time an accused person was told to "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN" in an attempt to defend they're self. Freedom of choice has not been there since before my birth 52 plus years ago. Freedom of religion is no a four letter term that has evoked a crud load of fascists to come out of the wood work and physically threaten people. Now this thing that calls himself commander and chief has said that his bill on immigration reform is a bill that will perminately blast open our boarders. This is the attitude that caused Fort Sumter in North Carolina circa 1860, Pearl Harbor, The attack on the Alaskan Coast, New York 09/11/01 and so on. It is also the same mindset that created and perpetuated WELFARE that is the true cause of our current fiscal fiasco. Or at least it sure gave it a darn decent push start. This mind set is also at current considering pardoning the most infamous serial killer in U.S History "CHARLES MANSON" this same person is responsible for that waist of human flesh currently existing! When I read that article on another site, I about lost my legs. Now this thing with gun control. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING? this is the stupidest idea I have personally ever heard. It has already been proven by a totally narcissistic papers attempt to do the very same. It has resulted in people now being attacked and burgled. If you jesters do impeach this, what ever he is, then do it right and do not stop with him. include anyone who has knowingly gone against the Constitution. If the offense calls for it. Prosecute them to the inth degree and if necessary execute them as Treason is that serious. It is a constitutional clause and there for this very reason. So freaking obey the "PEOPLE and the law of the land. Instead of creating laws to protect yourselves.

He has already gone around you wimps in Congress and now you threaten Impeachment. How foolish can you be. This son of a Kenyan dog has violated the rule of law and the U.S Constitution more times than most liberals can count. You pick now to throw out that potentiality? Please do not make us laugh. This rump wipe should have never taken the oath for virtually 1000's of reasons. In fact he has touted that he intends to declare himself KING if he does not get his way. Or should we say the way of those that PLACED him in the Oval office. By the way those that operate his strings are NOT the people whom presumably voted for him. It is in fact the ones that have this entire country at strings length. The Sorros's, the Lewis's and the other that have so much power that they literately believe they run the universe. Not just the planet, but the entire universe. Obama care should have easily gotten this mut ousted along with all whom signed it. As all who sign it are guilty of treason for going against the will of they're employer, WE THE PEOPLE!

What we need is for all Conservatives in DC to step up to the plate and go for impeachment. Not just one Congressman. So where are all of the Conservatives? Get in the ballgame and make it happen. In numbers there is strength. To any Congress person in DC, I would say, stop being cowards and take it to Obama.
