S. Dakota GOP OKs Resolution to Impeach Obama; Often Violated Oath of Office, Bypassed Congress

The Republican Party of South Dakota has approved a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Obama, citing multiple violations of his oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution and faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress, The New American website reports today (June 23, 2014).

The measure -- which was accepted by delegates at the state GOP convention on June 21 -- comes amid a growing national movement to remove Obama from power, or at least take urgent measures to rein in his lawlessness. Supporters of the effort across America celebrated the move as an important milestone in restoring accountability and constitutional government.

With the growing stench of scandal swirling around the administration, supporters of the resolution said the time has come to hold Obama accountable. Among other crimes, misdemeanors, and oath violations cited in the measure were: The unlawful release of five Taliban leaders in exchange for U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, Obama's "willful" lie about individuals being allowed to keep their health insurance under ObamaCare, and the avalanche of recent executive decrees on "climate change" to unilaterally impose energy rationing on America.

"The president has ordered Federal Agencies to enact rules (laws) that threaten the security of the people of this great nation (EPA regulations) bypassing Congress and usurping its authority," the resolution states. "The president has abused his executive privilege usurping his authority as decided by numerous federal courts... The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are very clear on the authority of the President and the Federal Government, and when they violate their oath it is the right, it is the duty of the American people to act."
