What is an Impeachable Offense?




Impeachment is a formal process in which an elected official is accused of unlawful activity, and which may or may not lead to the removal of that official from office.

Why is that important? Because this weekend, the House of Representatives may take a scaple to the Constitution in order to slither through the odious ObamaCare bill. Instead of an up or down vote, for which Pelosi may not have the votes, they will use a slight of hand to "deem" that the Senate bill was passed, as described here.

That would mean that Pelosi, with the urging of President Obama, has circumvented Article I section 7 of the Constitution. They both took on oath to uphold the Constitution. By knowingly bypassing the Constitution, they have broken their oaths.

Should they be impeached?
