Introduces Resolution to Investigate Obama Admin for High Crimes & Misdemeanors

By: TIM BROWN

Well, that took long enough! Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah has less than a year left in office and the Republican-led House, which has been led by Republicans since their victory in 2010, is finally getting around to a resolution to establish a Select Committee on High Crimes and Misdemeanors within the Executive Branch and the Obama Administration.

HRes693 IH was introduced into the House of Representatives by Rep. Tom Yoho (R-FL) on Tuesday. The resolution would establish a "permanent Select Committee on Executive Oversight."

"Every day a new claim and allegation come to light about the abuses of the Obama Administration," said Yoho. "Blatant Executive overreach, targeting by enforcement agencies, stand down orders of enforcement on existing law—which have resulted in the deaths of Americans, and regulatory agencies that bypass Congress and write their own laws. Enough is enough. While this committee will be tasked with the oversight over future administrations—both Republican and Democrat—the abuses of the current Administration have necessitated the creation of a whole new committee to deal solely with this Administration's t***sgressions."

"We, the Representatives of the people, are tasked with holding the Executive Branch accountable by the guiding document of this nation—the Constitution," the Florida representative added. "It is our job, our responsibility, and the right thing to do. So, if not now, when? If not us, who? We must prove to the American people we are worthy of the responsibility they have entrusted to us. All it takes for evil or tyranny to prevail or for our Constitutional Republic to fail is for good men and women to do nothing."

According to the resolution, Rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives would be amended by adding the following clause:

Permanent Select Committee on Oversight of the Executive Branch

`12.(a) There is hereby established the Permanent Select Committee on Oversight of the Executive Branch (hereinafter referred to as the `Select Committee').

`(b)(1) The Speaker shall appoint 12 Members to the Select Committee, five of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader.

`(2) The Speaker shall designate one Member to serve as chair of the Select Committee, and the minority leader shall designate one Member to serve as ranking minority member of the Select Committee.

`(3) Any vacancy in the Select Committee shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

`(4) The Select Committee shall enlist the assistance of a Special Task Force established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for the sole purpose of assisting the Select Committee in its investigations.

`(c) The Select Committee shall investigate allegations of misconduct by officials of the executive branch. The Select Committee shall not have legislative jurisdiction.

`(d)(1) Notwithstanding clause 3(m) of rule X, the Select Committee is authorized to study the sources and methods of entities described in clause 11(b)(1)(A) of rule X insofar as such study is related to the matters described in paragraph (c).

`(2) Clause 11(e) and the first sentence of clause 11(f) of rule X (relating to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) shall apply to the Select Committee.

`(3) Rule XI applies to the Select Committee except as follows:

`(A) Clause 2(a) of rule XI shall not apply to the Select Committee.

`(B) Clause 2(g)(2)(D) of rule XI shall apply to the Select Committee in the same manner as it applies to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

`(C) Pursuant to clause 2(h) of rule XI, two Members of the Select Committee shall constitute a quorum for taking testimony or receiving evidence and one-third of the Members of the Select Committee shall constitute a quorum for taking any action other than one for which the presence of a majority of the Select Committee is required.

`(D) The chair of the Select Committee may authorize and issue subpoenas pursuant to clause 2(m) of rule XI in the investigation and study conducted pursuant to section 3 of this resolution, including for the purpose of taking depositions, as is deemed necessary in the pursuit of t***h and justice for the American people.

`(E)(i) The chair of the Select Committee, upon consultation with the ranking minority member, may order the taking of depositions, under oath and pursuant to notice or subpoena, by a Member of the Select Committee or a counsel of the Select Committee.

`(ii) Depositions taken under the authority prescribed in this subdivision shall be governed by the procedures submitted by the chair of the Committee on Rules for printing in the Congressional Record.

`(F) The chair of the Select Committee may, after consultation with the ranking minority member, recognize--

`(i) Members of the Select Committee to question a witness for periods longer than five minutes as though pursuant to clause 2(j)(2)(B) of rule XI; and

`(ii) staff of the Select Committee to question a witness as though pursuant to clause 2(j)(2)(C) of rule XI.'.
(b) Funding for One Hundred Fourteenth Congress-

(1) PAYMENT OF EXPENSES- There shall be paid out of the applicable accounts of the House of Representatives such sums as may be necessary for the expenses of the Permanent Select Committee on Oversight of the Executive Branch established under clause 12 of rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives (as added by subsection (a)) during the One Hundred Fourteenth Congress.

(2) VOUCHERS- Payments under this subsection shall be made on vouchers signed by the chair of the Select Committee and approved in the manner directed by the Committee on House Administration.

(3) REGULATIONS- Amounts made available under this subsection shall be expended in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Committee on House Administration.

So far, Yoho only has one co-sponsor, Rep. Randy K. Weber, Sr. (R-TX). That should tell you all you need to know about the sellout of Republicans in Washington. While I question whether or not the resolution has any chance of passing, the fact that it has taken this long to even see such a document is quite telling. After all, the Republicans don't care about the Obama administration's crimes because they have been involved in aiding him in them.

How shocking! Another "scandal" that will run forever and produce nothing but political fodder for the desperate Right. How many so-called "scandals" in this administration has led to indictments? ZERO!

You have been saying that for a couple of years now are you going to let us in on "what's coming "anytime soon?

It's not a noose. It's a noodle.

I don't live in Justiceville, or Fairville. I live in Realville.

Even if Obama doesn't pardon himself nothing still happen to him in Realville.

Gosh. No indictments is proof, isn't it?

The Obama admin makes Nixon's look like Saints.

"The wheels of Justice turn slow...," Hemi. Our Founders took decades of unprecedented suffering, torture and death to put King George III in his rightful place. Just the months and accumulated years [if you were lucky] on the tiny, slow and dangerous sea vessels of the time were enough to make the strongest and most fervent "New World" patriot be able to certainly find an important "hobby" or "job," that would allow them to "stay on-the-farm." But no. Even a few of the former "Loyalists" to King George III, found themselves going against friends, family and all they had known before the "New World," and becoming "Patriots" to OUR cause, long before we were even "WE." It's only been a few years of relative comfort in comparison to the mid to late 1700's, Hemi, but the original documents our God-fearing Founders sacrificed their "blood, treasure and honor" to composed and battle friend and foe, in the largest and strongest military [Army and Navy] the world had ever known, with oftentimes weaponless, shirtless and shoeless "Patriots," in the dead of some VERY cold and snowy winters in our frozen north country, HAVE to be considered, while trying to work "Constitutionally," to extricate ANY "stranger" [or remaining "Red Coat"/enemy within] from our Elective Constitutional Republic to give a much deserved credit for all who came before "US," to preserve and to enact "what will never be erased" [Alexander Hamilton, 1775, "The Farmer Refuted"].

Our Western free-market trap, has recently "sprung," the "enemy" has been exposed, and the usual 20% of dedicated American "Constitutionalists," are, and will always [in reverence to God and country and Founders] follow the "Rules" of our Constitution and Bill of Rights; or "WE" would ourselves be "strangers". There are literally hundreds of subpoenas, law suits and investigations in the works currently, and although the "Sharia" law ideology of the "enemy within" has no dedication or attachment to our American law and order or our "checks and balances," "WE" do, and the trap is closing with such force that no 5th century barbaric ideology will possibly compete with our 21st century adaptions to current free-market Western ideological advancements. The whip and the sword and 5th century barbarism have been replaced centuries ago with civility; "and a rifle behind every blade of grass" [Isoroku Kamamoto].

Well, if he is impeached it will be somewhere the 8th time, at least according to the people that keep predicting it.

That's about 4 impeachments for every time the polar ice caps melt.

Hemiman Loc: Communist California

If we wait much longer there won't be a CONSTITUTION.There are t*****rs everywhere (look no further than any lib.here on OPP)it could take forever to bring them into tho open.

Look on the bright side. You can still pretend that supporting Trump is helping.

Art Laffer, [a leading world Economist], Hemiman, once said that ALL of the unconstitutional Edicts, "Executive Orders" and "Fiats," that have been pushed past our elected Congress and "under, over or around" [Pelosi] our Constitution "can be reversed with the proper conservative leadership, over a long weekend." There are approximately 187? "card-carrying" c*******ts, [all (D)], in our Congress alone, and only God knows how many un-vetted, pro-Sharia Czars, "Advisors," Cabinet Members, replaced military and "appointed" NGO's have infested our free-market Western Republic, to date, but [their] "progress," has been all-but stagnated with our "do-nothing," "NO," and then "HELL NO," conservative mechanisms firmly in place. "WE" surround them, and are embedded in EVERY phase of EVERY system in America; and our government; "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE," will NEVER be o*******wn by the likes of the current {CPUSA, SPUSA}, "infidel," OWS, [SDS, Weather Underground Jr.], especially since the i***ts merged with "the enemies of their enemies, their friends," MB, CAIR, ISIS and MSA. Hummmmmmmmmm. What could POSSIBLY go wrong there; besides eating each other, that is??? GOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUMP!!!!

Hemiman Loc: Communist California

He will help when it's President Trump.There are a lot of Americans that feel the same,we want the vermin in this country stomped out.Good Americans don't r**t ,threaten or k**l to effect change,they v**e.Soon you liberals will be considered a bad moment in the history this country.

V****g is a joke, the delegates are the one who will decide whether Trump wins or not, not WE THE PEOPLE!
The Liberal blocked those who were in favor of Sanders, just like the GOP are trying their best to stop Trump.

I'll just keep Laughing!
