Acting against the Constitution. Congress makes the laws. Then he makes a law that goes against the law that Congress made. He can't do that. Can he?
Actually, the President can make laws.
But to what extent, I'm not sure.
They can be challenged in court if they are unconstitutional, though.
Simply because conservatives don't like his executive orders or his policies doesn't mean they are impeachable.
But if it is contrary to an existing law, is it a misdemeanor?
That's for the courts to decide, not a politically-motivated Congress.
Thank you.
The impeachment process is a political action, not a criminal or civil law action.
Thus, 'high crimes and misdemeanors' are determined only by Congress.
Is a president too politically weak to survive is the major question?
Senator Lane took a bribe, which saved Johnson. Nixon lost the support of both House and Senate GOP, so he resigned. Clinton smiled and kicked the GOP's teeth in, taking Gingrich down and some Congress seats back.
The House certainly has the votes to impeach Obama and send it to the Senate.
The problem is that the Senate GOP does not have all of its votes much less having to pick up at least thirteen or fourteen Dems.
