BREAKING: Congressman Calls on Americans to “Surround the White House” to Stop Obama [WATCH]
When it comes to addressing rumors that President Barack Obama’s will issue blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants, Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King isn’t pulling his punches.
In a candid interview with Newsmax TV, Rep. King called on Americans to march to Washington and surround the White House in protest of a unilateral amnesty order, warning that America would be turned into a “lawless third-world nation with a king in the White House” if amnesty should happen, and talked about the possibility of “the i-word” – impeachment (H/T Western Journalism).
Rep. King’s Wednesday interview saw the Iowa Republican cover a variety of topics about an amnesty order and what the GOP legislative response would be. King said that, in the event of unilateral amnesty, “I’ve said that wherever I am, if I’m not in Washington, I will go to the airport… I’m going to call on John Boehner to call for a special session. I’m going to hope he beats me to that, I hope he’s anticipating that too.”
When asked what American citizens could do in protest of amnesty, King said that a demonstration like the one over Obamacare – where Americans surrounded the Capitol Building – wouldn’t “do us any good, but surrounding the White House might. If we’re not willing to go there and protest outside of the President’s residence… then I don’t know how we stop this.”

King would later make a reference to “the ‘i-word'” when asked what course of action he might be referring to. Rep King said, “That would be that word in the Constitution that is how you remove a person from office that has violated the principles [of the office].”
He went on to state that, “A lawless president in the United States, occupying the White House, is not something our founding fathers ever imagined would happen – well, I guess they did, because they put that provision in the Constitution to deal with it.”
While rumors of a unilateral amnesty order have floated about for quite some time now, very little has been enumerated in the way of a Republican response to blanket legalization. Rep. King’s remarks seem to be a first promising glimpse at the potential GOP response to amnesty.
