How can Obama be Impeached?

Impeachment is not a criminal trial, but a political trial. There is no list of impeachable offenses. Gerald Ford said once that an impeachable offense is whatever the Congress will vote for. It may help, if there is a real crime involved, but that is not a necessary requirement.
In the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors,” misdemeanors does not just mean “minor crimes,” but also means bad behavior. Lying to the public and allowing four Americans to die, is impeachable, if the Congress deems it so. It depends on how embarrassing it may be to the Democrats and whether they think he can continue to function as president. It also much depends on whether the American public demands impeachment or not.
mis·de·mean·or [mis-di-mee-ner] noun
1. Law. a criminal offense defined as less serious than a felony.
2. an instance of misbehavior; misdeed.
For example, if a president became sloppy drunk every day and refused to perform his job, that would not be a high crime or a misdemeanor in the criminal sense, but would certainly be good cause for him to be impeached, convicted and removed from office.
Impeachment is the charge made by the House of Representatives and requires a 50% vote. A trial is then held in the Senate. For the president to be removed from office, he must be convicted in the Senate by a vote of at least two thirds.

Impeach Obama Coalition – A directory of groups forming for impeachment and removal.
Probably, Benghazi is not enough by itself. Obama has done several things that more directly violate the Constitution and the Republicans need to bring multiple charges, not just impeachment for Benghazi, if they are really serious about impeaching, convicting and removing him from office and not just scoring political points before the next election. These should include abuse of his executive powers, illegal war, killing of American citizens without due process and even his apparent ineligibility for office. If the Republicans do not include some of these, you will know they are not serious about removing Obama from office, but are just engaged in political theater.
Tea Party Non-Participation – The Tea Party does not generally support impeachment, though many of the rank and file do. This is in large part because national organizations, like the Tea Party Patriots, are adhering to 501(c)(4) rules for non-profit organizations and political campaigns are very limited by the law. I you want to support an organization that stands for impeachment and removal of Obama, you should find a Political Action Committee (PAC) that supports impeachment. PAC’s are legally to take such political positions and organize campaigns for that purpose.

National Protest Against Obama – San Diego Event

.
Protests like this are needed all over the country to rally public support for impeachment and removal. Contacting Congress also helps, but what we really need are large public demonstrations to demonstrate public support and motivate Congress to act.
You can contact your senators and representative, but it is much better to demonstrate your support in public. A town hall with a congressman is also a great place to demand that Obama be impeached and removed, as in the clip below of a town hall held by John McCain. Do not become discouraged, if they dismiss you. Be prepared with a good comeback, if the politician claims that Obama has done nothing impeachable or that the last popular election trumps the Constitution. Obama has clearly violated the Constitution and his oath of office in a number of ways.

The Senate is controlled by Democrats, but if Obama’s crimes are exposed, he can become a politically intolerable embarrassment to some Democrats. Even, if Obama is not convicted and removed, it would be a significant benefit to air his crimes and misdeeds in public in an official forum for the public record.
In 1970, Gerald R. Ford, the then majority leader of the House of Representatives, wrote the following:
“An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.“

The most clear of a long list of offenses by Obama against the Constitution in violation of his oath of office is his waging of illegal wars in Libya and elsewhere, including the terrorist drone war in multiple countries and the murder of American citizens without a trial via drone strikes.

OFFENSES AND MISDEEDS
Obama has committed the following offenses, many of which are impeachable or should disqualify him from holding office. He has committed already more than 100 times what Nixon did, for which Nixon was forced to resign or be impeached, including the targeted murder of American citizens without due process. The difference between Nixon and Obama is that the leaderships of both parties are to some extent complicit in Obama’s many crimes and usurpations. They have been corrupted and it is therefore not in their own personal interest to pursue Obama.
