That is right Marty. Impeachment is reasonable because this scandal is a “high misdeameanor”. The four grounds for impeachment are:
1) Treason
2) Bribery
3) High crimes
4) High misdeameanors
High means important, the opposite of trivial. Note that President W Clinton’s sexual misdeameanors were low, not high. Obama has done many things that could be called a high misdeameanor. Congress ignores them.
Even if the House Committee cannot find an email or phone call linking Obama to this there is still enough evidence of negligent oversight leading to a scandal. The buck stops with the POTUS. Negligence on this scale, allowing such a scandal, ought to be called a high misdeameanor. Death and corruption on this scale is not trivial. This is not a low misdeameanor.
If Obama is not impeached he gets away with killing people and arming criminals. The next President will also have a precedent.
