Obama’s Chief of Staff Says,Impeach My Boss (A Cato Institute Scholar Agrees)

Ben Johnson,The White House Watch

President Obama’s luck got so bad during the debate over raising the debt ceiling that even his chief of staff said he could be impeached. On July 27,the Cato Institute‘s director of health policy studies Michael F. Cannon heard Bill Daley admit,in not so many words,that it’s okay to impeach Obama:
On NPR this morning,I heard White House chief of staff Bill Daley say,“The president cannot usurp the power that’s in the Congress.” What a relief! Also,this:
I don’t think the American people would find it appropriate for the president of the United States to defy the laws of the nation and its Constitution,without their belief that that president should be impeached. And this president isn’t going to do anything against the Constitution,against the laws of the United States of America.
So if the president were to defy,say,the War Powers Resolution by ridiculously redefining “hostilities,” or if he were to defy the Constitution by signing a law that claims for Congress a power the Constitution does not grant (say,ObamaCare),we should impeach him. Got it.
If Bill Daley —a scion of the Chicago Daleys —opaquely allows that the president is so corrupt he could be impeached,why are the Republicans so timid about following through? It would be a shame if his only good piece of advice went unheeded.
