Do you think Obama should be impeached for not defending DOMA?

If Obama won't defend the law which is on the books, the Republican Congress should hire their own attorney, as was suggested by Rick Santorum. The attorney only needs to file a motion with the affected court to defend the law on behalf of Congress. Perfectly Constitutional.

The Presidential Oath syas he will uphold the Constitution, not the laws of the land. Presidents from Jefferson to Bush have selected which laws to ignore. Reagan, Clinton, and 2 Bushes did it through signing statements, Obama announces it.

Nothing new under the sun.

I don't think it's impeachable. Stuff like this has been done way more than you think. Clinton had the DOJ stop defending a law that automatically kicked HIV positive soldiers out of the military is one example that comes to mind.

The current administration is still abiding by the law. What's changed is that when it comes to court cases against DOMA, the DOJ is no longer going to argue that it's constitutional - because they don't think it is - and will instead just leave the decision up to the judge.

no longer adequate. in spite of if that occurred he might stay in place of work because of the fact it takes a 2 thirds majority vote interior the senate to do away with him and that's unlikely to take place. They impeached bill Clinton over mendacity to congress appropriate to the Monica Lewinsky element and it ended up a nationwide shaggy dog tale.you have have been given 3 a million/2 Years of Mr Obama like it or no longer.

Certainly there is a precedent for this: obama's choice to ignore his Constitutional responsibility to uphold the law is very similar to the reason Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868.

That is just the latest on a growing list of impeachable offenses Obama has done.

1. Not defend DOMA

2. Closed drilling in the Gulf of Mexico

He has started now, but it is too little and very late.

3. He is going on with Obamacare, even though it is unconstitutional.

There is no authority of law period. Hasn't been since good ol' honest Abe invalidated the Constitution by using force to preserve a voluntary union. The "law" has been "might makes right" since then.

That was the opinion of Lysander Spooner, abolitionist and individualist anarchist anyway. Looking at history I have to agree.

Reagan stopped enforcing the Sherman Anti-trust act while he was president.

No.

Hurting your feelings is not an impeachable offense.
