22. Impeach a Ham Sandwich

The house could easily Impeach Obama simply because majority rules. I also believe that if they were going to impeach Obama this is the time to do it because it is an off year election and they can play to their Tea Party base. Even if the senate was under Republican control there is no way they would get the 75 votes needed for conviction. The question is would Bohner or Cantor even allow an impeachment motion to move forward onto the House floor. We have to remember that it is the goal of the republican party to wipe Barak Obamas Presidency from the history books.
