Quote:You don't impeach the president because you don't believe in his policies... Or for what appears to be most of the conservative politicians and talking heads reason for doing so, because he's a democrat.

 

This administration has proven time and time again that they will circumvent congress and enact laws either through executive orders, or by using regulations through the various agencies that are political tentacles for the president like the EPA. 

 

If there was a serious review of the regulations passed down by the EPA, or challenges by congress to the constitutional authority of the president for overreach based on his executive orders, there might be a case for impeachment.  At this point, the congress is just as guilty as the administration because they've allowed this to occur without any counter from them beyond lip service.  Once again, this comes down to a complete lack of leadership in congress in attempting to maintain the constitutional balance of power.  SCOTUS just ruled that unless congress opposes these executive orders and agency regulations, there's nothing they're going to do to rule against the administration.  They did slap the president over the "recess" appointments he made saying he'd exceeded his authority, but even there, congress could have done more to address this at the time.  Instead, they just whined about it and allowed it to happen. 

 

We have a 2 party system in theory in this country.  In reality, it's a one party system running the show, and it's the ruling class party.  It's got nothing to do with R or D.  It's got everything to do with being part of the good old boy network in DC.  Anyone who dares to challenge that is considered a radical who must be dismissed.
