1. Only the House of Representatives can impeach the President.
2. The president must first break a federal law in order to be impeached.
As of right now only two presidents have ever been voted on by the House of Representatives to be impeached and the House voted against it. Unless President Obama breaks a federal law, it is impossible for the House of Representatives to impeach him.

Do you think that Obama should be impeached?
In the United States a President is only impeached if it is believed they have taken part of unlawful events. The House of Representatives must reach a majority vote on impeachment and then the President is tried by the U.S. Senate. President Obama would only be impeached if he did something unlawful and the House voted to impeach him.

Barack Obama is not a socialist. Impeachment is a method for recalling a President when evidence of a crime is found, and is unrelated to one's political beliefs.

Can all federal officials be impeached?
All government officials can be impeached and its the safeguard against corruption at the federal level. The president can be impeached as well as any other holder of public office.
Can President Obama get empeched?
No, President Obama cannot be impeached as he has already completed his two terms in office. Impeachment is a process reserved for current presidents who are accused of committing high crimes or misdemeanors.
Should barack Obama be impeached?
No, he should not. While it is customary for partisans and political opponents to claim the president deserves to be impeached, the constitution is very clear about the criteria for impeachment. The president must be guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors"-- which generally refers to such things as treason or betraying his country. You may not like President Obama, and you may not agree with his policies, but there is no credible evidence that he has committed treason, nor that he has betrayed his country.
could Obama be impeached and removed from office as a president?
In theory, yes. Practically no, unless he loses his mind.
Why is Barack Obama getting impeached?
He is not getting impeached. There are a number of talk shows that throw around various inflammatory claims, often without any proof. For a president (any president) to be impeached, there must be accusations of "high crimes and misdemeanors." You may not like the president or his policies, but there is no evidence that Mr. Obama has committed any crimes, and thus there is little likelihood that he will be subject to impeachment.
Will Obama be impeached?
No, it is very unlikely that President Obama will be impeached, given that he has not committed high crimes and misdemeanors, nor been guilty of treason. Not liking a president is not reason enough to have him impeached or every U.S. president would have faced impeachment due to the people who opposed them. There is thus a very high bar for impeaching a president, and it cannot just be because some people dislike him.
Did Obama pick Biden for VP as a hedge against impeachment?
No, this is totally false. Certain political talk show hosts enjoy saying the candidate they oppose should be impeached, but in this case, there is no evidence that Mr. Obama has done anything that is a "high crime" or a "misdemeanor." Not liking someone's politics is no reason for them to be impeached. As for the reason for choosing Mr. Biden, President Obama picked him for the same reason President Bush picked Mr. Cheney: these were veteran politicians with useful experience in foreign policy.
Is Lyndon LaRouche accurate when he calls for Obama to be impeached?
Yes, I'm afraid he is. Obama must be removed from office if there is any hope of saving the nation, and the world, from the coming dark age.
