Should Barack Obama be Impeached?

Barack Obama may not be the answer for what the country needs right now. He could be part of a solution but he is not leadership material. What follows is a proposal for the impeachment of Barack Obama.



I hereby propose the impeachment of the President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama II on grounds of treason, fraud, and endangerment of the United States Constitution. Grounds for impeachment, according to the Constitution, are for the breaking of any crime or misdemeanor. Under these conditions, Barack Hussein Obama II will be removed of his presidency and will never be able to hold public office in the United States again. These are more than just wild accusations thrown out by the far right. Support has been shown by representatives in government and facts back my support. Barack Obama has failed to provide an official birth certificate proving that he is a natural born citizen of the United States; he supports the Copenhagen Treaty which, under certain circumstances, can and will bypass the Constitution. He is also supporting efforts that are leading the United States of America away from capitalism and towards socialism.
Barack Obama needs to be removed from office to save America. Capitalism has worked in the United States since it was founded in 1776. One instance where it struggled was The Great Depression. The depression was not the fault of the United States, but the fault of irresponsible speculators and the free spending attitude of the 1920’s that caused the stock market bubble to eventually burst on October 29, 1929. On that day stocks went into a free fall and people went into a panic and began selling stocks wildly and without reserve. What got the country and the world out of the Great Depression was the outbreak of World War II. World War II got America out of the depression by offering jobs in manufacturing to aid in the war. Some may believe that The New Deal initiatives, proposed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt were the catalyst that got the country out of the depression but this is false. The New Deal was a set of programs that incorporated socialism into the countries’ economic make-up. Social Security, one of the programs set up by The New Deal, is about to become bankrupt. This socialistic program is struggling to last more than 70 years in this country when capitalism has lasted 233 years. To clarify, socialism is an economic policy that is for the people. It is for the people in the sense that it provides services to help citizens out. It taxes the rich and gives to the poor, emphasizing equality for all citizens monetarily wise. Barack Obama has stated that Roosevelt is a person he idolizes as well as his socialist New Deal initiatives. He is developing his own New Deal with programs that he is attempting to bring about to solve the present financial crisis. By pressing nationalized health care through congress and taking over General Motors and making it a government run company, he is doing a good job of moving the country towards socialism. Sweden, one of the most socialist countries in the world, refuses to bail out Saab, one of its struggling automakers. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt goes on to say, “The Swedish state is not prepared to own car factories” (Beck 9). One of the world’s most socialist countries is unwilling to buyout an automaker, yet the United States will. Pushing the country down a socialist path is harmful towards the long-term well being of the United States. So to recap, President Obama idolizes Franklin Roosevelt and his economic policies. He is attempting to mirror what Roosevelt did in today’s society. Obama is hoping that his plans work where Roosevelt’s did not. Had World War II never occurred, Roosevelt could have made the country even worse.
Another reason why Barack Obama needs to be impeached is that he may not be a natural born citizen of the United States. The constitution states that being a natural born citizen is a requirement for president, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President” (Constitution). Barack Obama has provided a certificate of live birth. Although he has provided this document, a certificate of live birth is not a legal document. In order to be President of the United States you need an official birth certificate; legal proof that you are a natural born citizen on the United States. The process to receive a certification of live birth is not as strenuous as a birth certificate. His mother could have easily gotten him one within the year he was born, as the state of Hawaii allows. Even if he is a natural born citizen of the United States, why has he been unable to provide a legal document justifying his birth in Hawaii? Several politicians have been joining the movement for Barack Obama to make his official birth certificate public. Republican representative of Georgia was asked about the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate and responded, “I am joining several of my colleagues in the House in writing a letter to the President asking that he release a copy of his birth certificate so we can have an answer to this question” (Galloway). The movement for Obama to provide a legitimate birth certificate has evolved from conservative supporters to elected officials. The location on Obama’s birth is all just speculation, but even so why is he so reluctant to provide proof? It seems as if he is trying to hide something, yet no one can be sure.
ACORN is a community organizing association set up to help aid people in need. Barack Obama acts as if he is not concerned with the legal trouble that ACORN is going through by saying, "Frankly, it's not something I've followed closely” (Fund). It is odd that he is not following it when ACORN is the association in which his career was jumpstarted. He was ACORN’s lawyer seeking to approve the Motor Voter law that ACORN later exploited for votes (Fund). Obama won that case for ACORN which later took advantage of the law. This makes Obama guilty by association. Had he never acted as lawyer on the law it may have never passed. ACORN also was caught with hundreds of thousands of fraudulent voter submissions for the 2008 election in which Barack Obama won (Fessler). Now these fraudulent voter registrations were void after the scandal, but there could have been more fraudulent voter submissions that were not caught. These counts of voter fraud showed up primarily in swing states the Barack Obama won. It seems to be more than just a coincidence that the organization that Barack Obama helped out so much in the past is the same organization that is accused for voter fraud the same year Barack Obama runs for President.
Barack Obama has performed and may in the future perform acts of treason against the United States of America. By signing an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison facilities he is placing homeland security at risk. Terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay may be set free back into their country or even the United States. The closing of this high security facility is a danger to the wellbeing of the country. By signing an executive order this is hereby treason. Obama made the decision on his own, bypassing all of the other branches of Government. He went against the constitution and avoided legislation to get his agenda passed and put into motion. On other grounds of treason, he may soon sign the Copenhagen Treaty, which will bypass the constitution and set up a world government.
The proposition for impeachment is not as much based on the decisions that Barack Obama has made but based upon proposals that he is showing support for. The universal health care bill has yet to pass but it is being lead in support by Barack Obama. Some of the things that he has already approved though are dangerous for the country, such as the takeover of General Motors, economic stimulus bills, and the closing of Guantanamo Bay. Another decision that he may make that can be hazardous to the country that was mentioned before is the Copenhagen Treaty. He cannot be impeached for flirting with the Copenhagen Treaty but if he indeed signs it, the treaty can be the end of American sovereignty. There is no proof that Obama will sign this treaty. Even if he signs the treaty, the process proceeds to congress and needs to be ratified with a two thirds vote. It seems unlikely that he will be able to get a two thirds vote in congress, but he can bypass this with a loophole. He can make the treaty a domestic law by simply getting a majority in both the senate and congress (Monckton). Barack Obama is not above going around the system in order to get his way. If he were to do this we would be in danger of Obama becoming a dictator. Harsh words but this is America’s sovereignty that is being discussed.
Barack Obama may not deserve to be impeached right now. He has only been president for ten months and that may not be enough time to adequately judge him as a president. But as long as Obama is in office the country is in danger of losing its international freedoms. Some of his decisions have already been questionable and he is linked to other ideas that can be even worse for the country. The grounds for Obama’s impeachment may not be the most traditional in the sense of the literal definition of impeachment but it is just as necessary. However, if he does have anything to do with the criminal activities in ACORN then he could be impeached on felony charges. Obama’s time spent in office has been just as unproductive as the administration that he has replaced. Expectations were high for Obama and he has yet to meet any of them. In order for America to become one of the worlds’ leading powers again we need a leader that is devoted to The Constitution.
