'Thuggery' Sparks Talk Of Impeachment

'We're telling the president you need to recognize ... you are not a dictator'

As the federal government’s partial shutdown, sparked by the refusal on the part of Democrats in the Senate to discuss budget compromises suggested by Republicans in the House, continues without any resolution in sight, there’s a word more and more members of Congress are connecting to President Obama.

Impeachment.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., declared on Tuesday that Obama has “committed impeachable offenses” and warned that America slowly is turning into a dictatorship under his leadership.

“We can have an impeachment hearing in the House, and in my mind the president has committed impeachable offenses,” Bachmann told talk show host Rusty Humphries in an interview that was reported by the Hill on Wednesday.

She described the actions of the administration, including shutting down national parks and preventing veterans from visiting war memorials, as “thuggery” and stated that the American people have had just about enough of it.

“I think we could be on the cusp of seeing civil disobedience – I’m not saying I want civil disobedience – but people aren’t going to take the thuggery of this president much longer,” she said. “We see thuggery going on in the White House, we’re not going to take it. We’ve drawn a line in the sand, and we’re telling the president you need to recognize … that you are a co-equal branch of government. You are not a dictator,” she said.

Bachmann congratulated tea party activists for putting pressure on their representatives in Congress and urged them to continue their work in having their voice heard.

“What this is about is whether or not we will hold on to a constitutional republic,” she said. “I want the tea party to know they made a profound difference and what they’re fighting for is to see if we’re actually going to be a constitutional republic or if we’re going to be totally devolved into a dictatorship under somebody like Barack Obama.”

More than a dozen members of Congress already have raised the prospect of impeachment.

One of the others is Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, who has received 435 copies of the book “Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama From Office,” and plans to distribute a copy to every member of the House of Representatives.
