“He’s just absolutely ignoring the
Constitution, and ignoring the laws, and ignoring the checks and balances,”
Barletta said during an appearance on a local radio show, audio of which was
first posted by TeaParty.org “The problem is, you know, what do you do for
those that say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws. Could
that pass in the House? It probably, it probably could.”
Barletta also mentioned the defeat of House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor to a tea party candidate David Brat, calling the
upset a “big message” that people in Washington “better pay attention to.”
Although the Republican congressman said
impeachment could pass among fellow lawmakers, he was unsure if the public
would be in favor of it.
Last year, a similar declaration about
impeachment was made by Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX), who told
constituents in his district “you could probably get the votes in the House of
Representatives to do it.”

I get a lot of emails and calls about impeaching Obama. My answer has been that Articles of
Impeachment must be drafted and presented to the House. Up to this point, I don’t think this has
happened. When it does, AP and all other
news sources will immediately announce it and begin their campaign to criticize
it to give the Senate cover. It is
critical that the House do this before the 2014 elections. This is the time to ensure that we reverse
the assault by federal agencies and prevail in 2016.
