Prs. Obama has done things I disagree with and a few things I do agree with. However, up until now he hasn't done anything that could get him impeached. However, in signing the $410 Billion "Omnibus" spending bill, he did just that... and his own signing statement could be used as evidence against him.
As President of the United States, Barack Obama took an oath to ""faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of (his) ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
In the signing statement he said that some of the provisions of the bill raise constitutional questions.. yet he signed he bill into law.
This was also the one thing that Prs. Bush did that rightfully could have led to his impeachment. He did it when he signed the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform bill into law, hoping that the Supreme Court would overturn it on constitutional grounds.
Neither a Republican or Democrat run Congress was willing to impeach Prs. Bush over it (even though may blathered on and on about impeaching him for trumped up reasons), do we really think Obama's lap dogs in the House and Senate would dare impeach their lord and master?

People tend to go crazy on the impeachment issue. I have to tell the "impeach Obama" crowd the same thing I told the "impeach Bush" crowd: Chill out!
When it comes to Obama's "lap dogs," they would impeach him in a second. If it came down to him or them -- it's "them" all the way. The far-left machine has been in there longer than Obama's had realistic aspirations of even running for President, much less being elected to office. I already believe that they're playing him like a flute.
In my mind, Obama's simply the poster boy for the far-left progressive movement toward socialism that Pelosi and Reid and the other maniacs want. He's a great speech maker with his teleprompter functioning properly, and the world has ALWAYS lined up for miles behind a good speaker. Obama is to American politics what Pam Anderson was to Baywatch: Something to tune in to watch that takes your mind off the horrible acting and script with absolutely no substance.
They would lie, cheat and steal (well, too late) to keep him from impeachment. But it wouldn't be for his sake. It's for their sake; it's to spite conservative/Republicans and save face. If it came down to it and something was unavoidable, Obama would fit rather nicely under a progressive liberal bus.

I agree, but none of that changes the fact that Obama has violated the US Constitution and his oath of office. I know there are people out there who jump straight to demanding impeachment of the president they don't like, simply because they don't agree with him. This isn't one of those cases. In fact, if he didn't admit to knowing parts of this bill are unconstitutional, I wouldn't have written this article at all.
But since he admitted it in writing, there is no question here.

I think that every public official that disregards our Constitution should be prosecuted. I don't just mean Obama, but EVERY one.
