I have prepared these formal Articles of
Impeachment as a Constitutional lawyer. They are in
proper legal form and I believe all allegations are
provable. They will be sent to Congress with
annotations.
Resolved,
That Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United
States, is impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors and that the following articles of
impeachment be exhibited to the United States
Senate:
Articles of impeachment
exhibited by the House of Representatives of the
United States of America in the name of itself and
of the people of the United States of America,
against Barack Hussein Obama, President of the
United States of America, in maintenance and support
of its impeachment against him for high crimes and
misdemeanors.
Article I
In
his conduct while President of the United States,
Barack Hussein Obama, in violation of his
constitutional oath to
faithfully to execute the office of President of the
United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States, and in violation of his
constitutional duty to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed, has willfully corrupted and
manipulated the executive branch to increase its
power and destroy the balance of powers between the
three branches of government that is established by
the Constitution of the United States.
The
means used to implement this course of conduct or
scheme included one or more of the following acts:
(1)
Shortly
after being sworn in for his first term as President
of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama began
creating new departments and appointing Czars to
oversee these departments. These Czars were never
submitted to the United States Senate for approval
as required by Article 2, Section 2 of the
Constitution. In addition, these Czars and the
Departments have budgets that are not subject to
being controlled by Congress as provided for by
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. He also
made recess appointments when the Senate was not in
recess.
(2)
Article
2, Section 3 of the Constitution mandates that the
President of the United States “shall take Care that
the Laws be faithfully executed…” Barack Hussein
Obama, in violation of his oath of office has
repeatedly ignored this Constitutional mandate by
refusing to enforce laws against illegal
immigration, defend in court the Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA), and refusing to enforce Federal voting
laws.
(3)
Article
1 of the Constitution establishes the legislative
branch of the U.S. government and sets forth the
powers of the Senate and House of Representatives to
make laws. These powers are exclusive and the
Constitution does not grant the President the power
to either make laws or amend them on his own. Barack
Hussein Obama has ignored these provisions and made
or changed laws by either issuing unconstitutional
executive orders or instructing governmental
departments to take illegal and unconstitutional
actions. Specific actions include, but are not
necessarily limited to:
A.
Ordering the Environmental Protection Agency to
implement portions of the Cap & Trade bill that
failed to pass in the U.S. Senate.
B.
Ordering implementation of portions of the “Dream
Act” that failed to pass in Congress.
C.
Orchestrating a government takeover of a major part
of the automobile industry in 2009.
D.
Ordering a moratorium on new offshore oil and gas
exploration and production without approval of
Congress.
E.
Signing an Executive Order on March 16, 2012 giving
himself and the Executive branch extraordinary
powers to control and allocate resources such as
food, water, energy and health care resources etc.
in the interest of vaguely defined national defense
issues. It would amount to a complete government
takeover of the U.S. economy.
F.
Signing an Executive Order on July 6, 2012 giving
himself and the Executive branch the power to
control all methods of communications in the United
States based on a Presidential declaration of a
national emergency.
G.
Signing an Executive Order on January 6, 2013 that
contained 23 actions designed to limit the
individual right to keep and bear arms guaranteed by
the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
H.
Amending portions of the Affordable Healthcare Act
and other laws passed by Congress without
Congressional approval as required by Article 1 of
the Constitution.
Article II
(1)
Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution mandates
that from time to time the President “shall give to
Congress information on the State of the Union….”
Implicit in this is an obligation for the President
to be truthful with the Congress and the American
people. Barack Hussein Obama has repeatedly violated
his oath of office and the requirements of the
Constitution by willfully withholding information on
important issues or actively taken part in
misleading the Congress and the American people.
Specific actions include, but are not necessarily
limited to:
A.
Using Executive privilege to block Congress from
getting documents relating to the DOJ’s Operation
Fast and Furious and the death of U.S. Border Patrol
Brian Terry.
B.
Had members of his administration provide false
information about the act of terrorism committed in
Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 and refusing
to allow the State Department and other federal
agencies to cooperate in the Congressional
investigation.
C.
Falsely labeled the mass murder of American soldiers
at Ft. Hood, Texas as “workplace violence” instead
of the act of Islamic terrorism it was.
D.
Falsely labeling the IRS targeting of conservative
and Christian groups as a “phony” scandal and
refusing to order an active pursuit of the
investigation into who was ultimately responsible.
E.
Refusing to order an independent investigation of
the actions of Eric Holder and the DOJ in targeting
the phone records of members of the news media.
F.
Telling the American people on a television show
that the NSA was not prying into the emails and
phone calls of Americans when the facts prove
otherwise
(2)
The oath of office of the President of the United
States requires him to
preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution. This obviously
includes what may be the most important part of the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Barack Hussein
Obama has repeatedly violated his oath of office by
seeking to limit both the individual rights and the
rights of the States guaranteed in the first ten
amendments to the Constitution. Specific actions
include, but are not necessarily limited to:
A.
Having
the Department of Health and Human Services order
religious institutions and businesses owned by
religious families to provide their employees free
contraception and other services that are contrary
to their religious beliefs. This is being done under
the auspices of the Affordable Health Care Act and
violates the religious freedom clauses of the First
Amendment.
B.
Having
the military place restrictions on the religious
freedom of Chaplains and other members of the
military in order to favor gay rights advocates and
atheists in violation of the First Amendment.
C.
Having
the military place restrictions on the freedom of
speech of members of the military and the civilian
employees of the DOD in violation of their rights
under the First Amendment.
D.
Using
Executive orders and government agency actions to
limit Second Amendment rights. This includes actions
by the Veterans Administration to disarm American
veterans without due process as required by the
Fifth Amendment.
E.
Having
the National Security Agency intercept and monitor
the private communications of millions of Americans
without a court order and in violation of the Fourth
Amendment.
F.
Joining
with foreign governments in lawsuits against
sovereign U.S. states to prohibit them from
enforcing immigration laws. This is in violation of
the Tenth Amendment.
G.
Filing
suits under the Voting Rights Act against sovereign
U.S. states to prevent them from enforcing Voter ID
laws despite rulings by the Supreme Court upholding
these laws. This is another violation of the Tenth
Amendment and the balance of powers.

Under Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution the
President of the United States is the Commander in
Chief of the United States military and as such is
responsible for using them in a manner that best
serves the national security of the United States
and protects our soldiers from unnecessary risks and
harm. Barack Hussein Obama has violated his oath of
office in this regard. Specific actions include, but
are not necessarily limited to:
A.
In the name of “political
correctness,” he imposed unnecessary and dangerous
rules of engagement on our troops in combat causing
them to lose offensive and defensive capabilities
and putting them in danger. Many American service
personnel have been killed or wounded as a result of
this policy.
B.
Releasing the identity of American military
personnel and units engaged in dangerous and secret
operations such as the killing of Osama bin Laden by
Navy Seal team 6.
C.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives
Congress the exclusive power to declare war. Yet,
without consulting Congress President Obama ordered
the American military into action in Libya.
In all of this, Barack Hussein Obama has undermined
the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute
on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as
President and has acted in a manner subversive of
the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury
of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, Barack Hussein Obama, by such conduct,
warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from
office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any
office of honor, trust or profit under the United
States.
