IMPEACHMENT A HOT TOPIC IN THE HOUSE O(F REPRESENTATIVES

In explosive testimonies, one law professor testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the expansion of the Executive Branch is happening so fast that America is at a “constitutional tipping point.” Another expert warned that Congress is being rendered “superfluous.”
 
Two measures have been proposed in the House to rein in the President’s abuse of power. We endorse those measures – but we are also emphatically calling for Articles of Impeachment to be drafted.  
 
Please see my important update below – Mat.
 
 
  Conservatives,
 
Last week, a relatively inconspicuous (by media standards) yet critically important meeting took place on Capitol Hill before the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing was called: “Enforcing the President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws.” 
 
The hearing included testimonies by several experts on the Constitution who hail from both sides of the political spectrum. But one undeniable fact emerged in the bi-partisan testimonies:
 
The balance of power as outlined by the Constitution of the United States is being severely tilted toward the Executive Branch at an alarming rate under the Obama presidency. 
 
As reported by The Washington Beacon… 
 
“Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, testified that the expansion of executive power is happening so fast that America is at a “constitutional tipping point.
 
‘My view [is] that the President has in fact, exceeded his authority in a way that is creating a destabilizing influence in a three branch system…. [B]ut the rate at which executive power has been concentrated in our system is accelerating. And frankly, I am very alarmed by the implications of that aggregation of power.
 
What also alarms me, however, is that the two other branches appear not just simply passive, but inert in the face of this concentration of authority.’”
 
Elizabeth Price Foley, a law professor at Florida International University College of Law, agreed, warning that Congress is in danger of becoming “superfluous”…
 
“If you want to stay relevant as an institution, I would suggest that you not stand idly by and let the President take your power away.” 
 
Could a warning be any more direct and emphatic than that?  
 
If we fail to act, we will fail to defend our liberties, fail to safeguard the balance of power of our government, fail to hold our elected officials accountable – and we will succeed in allowing a despotic leader to crown himself “Emperor of America.” 
 
Unfortunately, after such a stern rebuke, the committee balked at considering impeachment proceedings.  Liberty Counsel Action has no such trepidation!
 
++This is a clear and present danger that demands action.  
 
The President has all but dismissed the Legislative Branch, the Members of which are elected to represent the will of the people in our constitutional republic. 
 
That’s why Liberty Counsel Action is calling for the United States House of Representatives to draft Articles of Impeachment against President Barack H. Obama for high crimes and misdemeanors. 
 
Make no mistake: Our Constitution and precious liberties are under full-scale assault by Obama and his leftist administration
 
  Join us by adding your voice to the growing number of outraged citizens who are demanding that our elected representatives force this lawless administration to stop usurping the power of the American people and decimating our founding documents! 
 
We demand that the House of Representatives listen to our voice and draft Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama

++This is a long overdue step in the right direction.
 
Representative Tom Rice (R-SC) introduced the “Stop This Overreaching Presidency (STOP)” measure, which now has 114 co-sponsors.
 
The STOP resolution is aimed at reversing President Obama's delay of the employer mandate, enactment of the DREAM Act, extensions for “substandard” health insurance plans, and ending work requirements for welfare.
 
Representative Jim Gerlach (R-PA) has introduced H.R. 3857, the “Enforce the Take Care Clause Act” in response to how the President has used his executive power to selectively apply, enforce, and even ignore duly enacted laws. The legislation invokes the “Take Care Clause” of the Constitution, which requires a President to faithfully execute all laws. 
 
Liberty Counsel Action endorses efforts by Congress to rein in President Obama’s autocratic rule, but we are also pushing hard for the House to prepare Articles of Impeachment!   
 
We cannot allow this lawless Executive Branch to take any more ground!  We have a duty to call for Articles of Impeachment against President Barack H. Obama.  
 
  As I have frequently said, comparing America’s revolutionary times with our own, we are now facing even more oppression than the colonial generation!  
 
We must stand together… or we could lose our liberties for all time!  
 
That’s why I pray you will sign the petition today. We want to deliver this petition with 100,000 signatures to Capitol Hill in our next delivery.  Go here to make your voice heard:
 
 
We have never seen such blatant disregard for the rule of law from a President of the United States.  Even worse, Barack Obama professes to be trained in constitutional precepts and swore to uphold the Constitution. 
 
Senator Ted Cruz recently said, “Obama’s disregard for the Constitution threatens the liberty of every American.”
 
Let’s seize the momentum in Congress and deliver our sternly written petition to the elected officials whose job it is to represent the will of American citizens!  
 
 
Thank you in advance for adding your name to this extremely important petition. 
 
Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action
 
P.S. Left unchecked, Barack Obama will take us over the edge of the “constitutional tipping point” at which we have arrived. 
 
I believe there is a storm brewing on Capitol Hill and it is being ushered in by “we, the people,” who are calling for accountability from our President – and backbone from our elected officials. 
 
We must relentlessly perform our duty as Americans to free ourselves of this “government of one” and stand against the President’s shameless, ongoing power grabs.
