If you think Obama should be impeached, can you tell me exactly what "high crime or misdemeanor" he committed?
Please cite a crime and offer supporting factual evidence sufficient to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama committed the crime.
For your reference, the federal criminal code is linked below. You can even do a search.
Keep in mind that if you believe something Obama has done is unconstitutional, this is not a "high crime or misdemeanor." You can institute a civil (not criminal) complaint if you think Presidential action has been unconstitutional.
Please cite the criminal statute that you believe Obama has violated, then provide supporting evidence.
Thanks.
Here is the link to the federal criminal statutes:

The Bush legal memos were not classified in the first place. Releasing memos that were not classified is not a crime.
Senior Magoo--
The definition of "war crimes" in 18 USC section 2441(c) (which you failed to cite) does not include anything that Obama did.
EDIT: The administration has the right to decide what is or is not classified. The fact that they declassified them means--guess what--that no one broke the law.

None. Republicans want him impeached because they want another President and Congress that runs up massive debt for foreign nations' benefit, battles with anyone to weak to fight so they look good wrapped in their flag, illegal and unconstitutional electronic surveillance, illegal torture... Now, those were the good ol' days of protecting us from the boogie man!
This Obama guy, as former Constitutional Law professor and president of the Harvard Law Review is just to good for meat and tater folks to tolerate! Fully formed sentences with actual words from the dictionary? He's a socialist!

He may not be a citizen of the United States. He has never been vetted; his Certificate of Live Birth is a proven fraud; he has never produced a real and legal birth certificate; all his school and personal records which include college thesis are locked away and sealed. Now if anyone find the proof, this is an impeachable act rising to the Presidency in a fraudulent manner, so he can be impeached on the matter of his place of birth and whether he is a citizen or not. There are court cases pending all over the United States and the Supreme Court is yet to act or rule on some that are in front of them, so this is a long drawn out thing...

Releasing the bush memos:

Liar, he didnt. But Obama did father a black child. He sired two of them, daughters.

LIE! They WERE classified in the first place!

"The Obama administration declassified nine Justice Department legal memos on Monday that asserted a sweeping view of presidential power, including authorizing the military to search Americans' homes without a warrant and sending detainees to other countries regardless of congressional statutes that might dictate otherwise. "
Note that word "declassified". That means they were classified.
Here's more:
"About a month ago, the American Civil Liberties Union sent the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel a letter and a chart. The chart listed 55 classified Bush administration legal memos on national security issues. The letter basically said, "release these memos."
Some of the memos that the Justice Department declassified Monday were not even on the ACLU's list. "
"The administration has the right to decide what is or is not classified. The fact that they declassified them means--guess what--that no one broke the law."
The documents were not yet old enough to be declassified. Guess what? They broke the law.

And I proved wrong about the memos not being classified beforehand.

Excessive patriotism.
That is a high crime to many on the far right.
And Rush claims that Obama fathered a black child.

He hasn't committed an impeachable offense, so anyone claiming he should be impeached is speaking out of ignorance. That still doesn't make his policy solid or reasonable, or mean that said policies won't lead us down a path that will take generations to recover from.
