Why hasn't Obama been Impeached yet?

Nixon and Clinton got offed for much smaller crimes. The Benghazi thing and the Mexican drug cartel stuff should have had him arrested.

    Obama has not committed any impeachable offenses. Contrary to what the Teabaggers think, being black is not an impeachable offense.

    Secondly, Nixon was not impeached. The House Judiciary Committee recommended articles of impeachment, but he resigned before the House considered them.

    Thirdly, the two Presidents who were impeached were Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Both were acqutted by the Senate. If the Republicans, who control the House, were dumb enough to impeach Obama, he would be acquitted in the Democratically-controlled Senate.

    Because the Republicans are really not all that stupid. Sure, the House can impeach him like they did Clinton, but the Senate won't convict.

    Nixon violated the fundamental aspect of democracy in its purest form. One could argue what he did was treason.

    I'm not even going to treat your comment on Obama as a serious statement, as anyone with a working mind knows Obama hasn't done a single thing that he can be impeached for, the notion is laughable, but you do need to know what Nixon did was an extreme crime.

    You need a bit of a history lesson.

    President Nixon resigned.

    Clinton served out both of his terms of office.

    Impeachment requires a law to be broken. Please cite the statute the current President has allegedly violated. I'm waiting.

    Source(s): The modern conservative movement has become nothing but a haven for batsh!t crazy conspiracy theorists who will believe any nonsense so long as it conforms to their own personal brand of reality distortion.

    There isn't enough evidence, and Republicans don't want to sour what popularity they have left by resorting to impeachment for petty excuses again.

    By the way, Nixon was never impeached. He resigned before the House had the chance to impeach him. Andrew Johnson was our other president who was impeached. (Keep your facts straight, and people won't dismiss you as an uninformed whiner so easily.)

    Because he's committed no impeachable offenses. I know you won't accept a rational answer, but others will.

    Can't unless we want to dig Reagan up and impeach him too. Selling weapons to the enemy behind congress's back is a no no.

    He would just divert AF-1 to a "blue" state and holler, "Sanctuary."

    It would be a waste of time, Reid in the senate would make it into a joke
