Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) said on Monday that impeaching President Obama “would be a consideration” if he moves forward unilaterally on immigration.
Barton’s comments were made during an interview with former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), who now hosts NewsMaxTV’s “America’s Forum.”
Barton was asked about the possibility that Obama could take executive action to slow deportations.
“Well impeachment is indicting in the House and that’s a possibility. But you still have to convict in the Senate and that takes a two-thirds vote,” Barton said. “But impeachment would be a consideration, yes sir.”

Go right ahead. We all know how the last impeachment turned out for you.
Oh please impeach. It’s always a very successful strategy. As a bonus if you succeed we give you President Joe Biden .

Oh for fuck’s sake just do it already. The never ending threats and whining are just bloody tiresome and childish.
Please impeach Obama…I want to see the GOP get decimated in 2016…I want the GOP to bleed out so badly in those elections that we’re talking the Dems taking back both houses and the states and then they can redraw districts to eliminate the GOP majority entirely!
TPM:
GO FOR IT, GOPERS!
Let’s see how well that works out for you in the next general election.
