Last week, I read a story in the Washington Times with the headline "Boehner rules out impeachment: 'Scam started by Democrats.'" If impeachment is a scam perpetrated by Obama and the Democrats, then the framers of the Constitution must have been in on it. They made it the responsibility of the House of Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president and vice president of the United States, and all other civil officers of the U.S. government, for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Does Boehner believe that Barack Obama was around to orchestrate things as the framers did so?
When it comes to scams, is it easier to believe that Obama is working a scam with John Boehner, or with Publius, the pen name for the authors of the Federalist Papers? As I've pointed out before, it was Publius (Federalist 65) who talked about impeachment as a national inquest into the conduct of public officials. It was Publius who defined impeachable offenses as "injuries done immediately to the society itself," not to particular persons. The framers of the Constitution foresaw the legal mire Speaker Boehner pretends to ignore when he scams Americans with the notion that a federal lawsuit is likely to check Obama's advance toward dictatorship.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
