President Obama has had a quite controversial presidency and
the Republican Party is livid about some of his actions. There has been a lot of talk in the
Republican Party about trying to impeach Obama on many separate charges. The Republicans have been upset with Obama
ever since he was voted into office and they have been trying to come up with
reasons to impeach Obama since the beginning.
There are many pros and many cons of impeaching Obama for the
Republicans.
First of all, let’s start on why the Republicans want to
impeach Obama and what grounds they are going to have on to impeach him. In recent news, Obama has been the first
president to ever cross the federal law by negotiating with terrorists. When news came to America that there was an
American soldier being held captive by an Afghan terrorist group. Obama broke American foreign policy by
negotiating with terrorists and he traded 5 high-ranking Taliban terrorist
members for the American soldier. The
Republicans have called these acts by the President to be high crimes and
misdemeanors and should be grounds for impeachment. In another case, Obama has granted legal
relief to approximately 5 million undocumented immigrants. This has angered the Republican Party to no
end and they have stated that the Immigration and Nationality Act does not give
the President the power to give undocumented aliens the right to legal
relief.
There are several pros and cons to impeaching the President,
especially differing from separate political party views. First of all, the republicans believe that
they should impeach Obama for the acts that he has committed. The road to impeachment is just how Congress
sees Obama’s crimes and if they are considered high crimes and misdemeanors in
the member’s eyes. The main pros to
impeaching the President is purely justice for his unconstitutional acts. The problem is impeaching Obama could also
end up blowing up in the Republican’s faces.
The successor of Obama’s office would be Joe Biden, and putting Joe
Biden in office would be a nightmare for the conservative Republicans. Joe Biden is as liberal as it gets and the
conservative-majority Congress would never be able to get anything done with
laws continually getting shot down by the new President. I believe Obama has done acts that are
grounds for impeachment, but impeaching Obama would be a mistake because it
would make things harder for the Republicans to get things done. Also, the Republicans would never be able to
get enough votes to actually impeach President Barack Obama.
