Removing The Obstacles To Impeachment

http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/remove-the-obstacles-of-impeachment/

by Scott Creighton

In the event of a rogue presidency, the founders of this great nation provided for protections for the citizens under the constitution in the form of a process called impeachment. Though rarely spoken, the word itself holds great power in that it binds the president and his entire administration to the laws of the nation and makes them all accountable to the people.As a constant threat, impeachment forces the president and his administration to work within the confines of our system of checks and balances.
Without it, there is no limit to what a president can do.

Yet, Nancy Pelosi began her term as Speaker of the House of Representatives by announcing “Impeachment was off the table”, thus giving the corrupt president a free hand in his last two years in office.

-snip-

Never before has a President and Vice President deserved to be impeached more than these.
Yet our Speaker of the House of Representatives is working behind the scenes with House Democrats, not to build a consensus for impeachment, but to do just the opposite; to keep others from succeeding in their effort to hold this president accountable by means of impeachment! This is unacceptable! Nancy Pelosi MUST be removed as Speaker of the House!

Many have stated that it is impossible to remove a seated Speaker during a session. That is false. The founders of this country had great vision and they saw the possibility of a Speaker working in tangent with a corrupt president, so they created a built in fail-safe: a way to unseat a Speaker of the House, while in session.
