Boehner: Cantor doesn?t change immigration - POLITICO.com
Asked at his weekly news conference whether the prospects of an overhaul were dead in light of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s primary loss on Tuesday, Boehner responded: “The issue of immigration reform has not changed.”
The reason: President Barack Obama has still not gained the trust from House Republicans that the GOP says is necessary to do immigration reform, Boehner said.
“The president continues to ignore laws that he signed into law, violating his oath of office, he did it again with the release of these Taliban five,” the Ohio Republican said, referring to Guantanamo Bay prisoners Obama recently released in exchange for an American prisoner of war. “Every time he does this, it makes it harder to gain the trust of our members to do the big things that need to be done around here.”
Doesn't the Speaker of the House have a sworn duty to the Republic to reign in lawless behavior on the part of the President?
So why isn't Obama being impeached?
Because his opposition lacks the votes to impeach.
One of these days I hope you citizens will finally understand what impeachment really is.
Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one.
No law need be broken to impeach a POTUS.
No broken law guarantees that impeachment will take place, either.
Do you get it, yet?

Article II, Section 4 .........."The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The President commits bribery on a scale unknown in the criminal world. Every time he ties Government funding to any State action it's BRIBERY, highway funding to speed limits, school funding to curriculum, etc.........
Every time the President threatens to withhold funding if his agenda is not followed it's blackmail.
I have met the enemy and it's the Federal Government!
