Impeachment! I have heard a lot about “Impeach Obama!” I do
not belong to any political party because of my anti-establishment beliefs.
But, I do want to clear the air. I believe in finding out the truth, and then
people should make an informed decision. However with all the propaganda going
around it can be very hard to separate truth from fiction.
There for this is what is in the Constitution of the United
States:
Article II Section 6 states the different reason a president
has been discharged from their office during their term. 20th
Amendment Section 3 pertains to what happens if the president elect dies while
acting as the president. 25th Amendment details a line of succession
of the presidency in case they die or step down out of office.
Article II Section 4 states that the President, Vice
President and all civil officers of the US, shall be removed from office on
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and
Misdemeanors.
Misdemeanor is defined as behavioral issues; misconduct;
abuse of powers
Article I, Section 3 states that the senate shall have the
sole Power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall
be on the Oath of Affirmation. When the president of the US is tried, the Chief
Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence
of 2/3rd of the members present. Judgment in the cases of cases of
impeachments shall not extend further than the removal from office, and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under
the US, but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject and
subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment, according to law.
Since 1797, the house of Representative has impeached
sixteen federal officials. These include two presidents a cabinet member, a
senator, a justice of the Supreme Court and eleven federal judges. Of those,
the senate has convicted and removed seven, all of them being judges.
Surely, there has been a president impeached? No there has not.
Late President Andrew Johnson and Former President Bill Clinton were impeached only
in the House of Representatives but, never in the Senate. In the case of Late
President Richard Nixon there were 35 attempts and only nine went through.
However, he resigned before any form impeachment proceedings.
So you have to ask yourself an honest question. What has
President Obama done to warrant impeachment? The only thing I can personally
find after researching him is nothing other than poor job performance and that
is a matter of public opinion. In all honesty, the House of Representatives is
primarily republican. The Senate is primarily Democrat. We have a democratic
President. Do you think that impeachment would even be remote considered a possibility
for any reason?
All I have to say is keep in prayer because our country is
screwed up.
Romans 13:1-4
Obey the government, for God is the one who put it there.
All governments have been placed in power by God. So those who refuse to obey
the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. The
authorities do not frighten people who are doing right, but they frighten those
who do wrong. So do what they say, and you will get along well.
I believe very much in God and Jesus Christ. However, I do
have problem with the Pauline Doctrine in which many modern Christians take
very seriously to heart. Paul wrote the letter to Romans while he was in
Corinth. He was in attendance at a gathering for the church of Jerusalem. I
believe in my heart that Paul was nothing more than a very well respected
Preacher/Missionary. That is the reason I question his work. How far should we
go to follow those ruling our government when we feel they do not hold the best
interest of the constituency?
I will tell you this much, actions of terrorism is
unwarranted and is not an acceptable form of behavior. When I make that statement,
I do not care who you are and what your religion is.
So to close this essay for today, we make changes from (1)
within us first and then (2) get involved physically with harmony in your
hearts. Getting involved means to question ourselves and then to be educated so
that we can make proper informed decisions.
Pray about it as well. God bless you all and keep you safely
in His arms.
