Can President Obama be impeached for writing an executive order for gun control?

Probably not. First, it depends on what is in the executive order, but it is doubtful that any such order will fit the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" or be an example of treason. It is also not clear that the president will sign a "gun control" order. While he does want to reinstate the assault weapons ban or the ban against clips that hold 30 bullets (and some polls indicate the public agrees), there is little evidence that Mr. Obama plans to impose a broad ban on guns. That said, the gun issue is very contentious, and as a result, no matter what the president does, one side or the other will be upset. But the fact remains that presidents sign executive orders all the time, and as a former professor of constitutional law, it is doubtful that President Obama would sign any order that violated the constitution.
