Every time Bachman, King, Gohmert, and friends mention impeachment - itâs mind control people. Well, mind control is a relative term⌠itâs brainstem control.

FROM WIKI:
Iin October 2010, prior to the elections in which Republicans won control of the House, Jonathan Chait published an article in The New Republic called âScandal TBDâ where he predicted that if Republicans were to win control of the House, and Barack Obama were to win re-election in 2012, the Republicans would try to impeach Obama and use any reason possible as pretext.[4]
2010: Darrell Issa[edit]
In May 2010, Republican Darrell Issa of California stated that the allegation that the White House had offered Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestak a job to persuade Sestak to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary election against Arlen Specter âis one that everyone from Arlen Spector to Dick Morris has said is in fact a crime, and could be impeachableâ.[5] With the possibility of becoming chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in January 2011, Issa said in October 2010 that the committee would not seek to impeach Obama.[6]
2011: Michael C. Burgess[edit]
In August 2011, Republican Congressman Michael C. Burgess of Texas stated that the impeachment of Barack Obama âneeds to happenâ in order to prevent Obama from âpushing his agendaâ. Burgess did not mention any grounds for impeachment.[7]
2012: Jon Kyl[edit]
In June 2012, Senator Jon Kyl said on the Bill Bennett radio show that âimpeachment is always a possibilityâ when discussing the Obama Administration policy on immigration.[8]
May 2013: James Inhofe, Benghazi attack[edit]
In May 2013, Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma stated that President Obama âcould be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last yearâs attack in Benghazi, Libyaâ.[2] Inhofe said that âof all the great cover-ups in historyâthe Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of themâthis ⌠is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American historyâ.[2] Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah also stated in an interview that impeachment was âwithin the realm of possibilitiesâ with regard to the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, later clarifying that âitâs not something Iâm seekingâ and that âIâm not willing to take that off the table. But thatâs certainly not what weâre striving for.â[9]
August 2013: Tom Coburn, Blake Farenthold, Kerry Bentivolio[edit]
In August 2013, Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma responded to a questioner in a town hall meeting, who had asserted that President Obama was failing to carry out his constitutional responsibilities, by saying that âyou have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president⌠and thatâs called impeachmentâ.[10][11] Coburn added, âI donât have the legal background to know if that rises to âhigh crimes and misdemeanorsâ, but I think youâre getting perilously closeâ.[10] Coburn did not specify what grounds he felt would support impeachment, but NBC News noted that Coburn âmentioned that he believes Department of Homeland Security officials have told career USCIS employees to âignoreâ background checks for immigrantsâ. Coburn mentioned no evidence that substantiated his belief.[10]
At a town hall meeting with constituents, Congressman Blake Farenthold said that Obama should be impeached due to issues with Obamaâs birth certificate. Farenthold said that he thinks that âthe House is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue.â[12]
On August 19, 2013, Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio stated that if he could write articles of impeachment, âit would be a dream come trueâ. To help in achieving that goal, he retained experts and historians.[13][14]
December 2013[edit]
On December 3, 2013, the House Judiciary committee held a hearing on the President that was formally titled âThe Presidentâs Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Lawsâ, which has been viewed as an attempt to begin justifying impeachment proceedings.[15]

âWe have no plans to impeach the president.â
"We have no plans to invade Iraq.
"We have no plans to use the Patriot Act to turn the US into a surveillance state.
"We have no plans to become the Party of Crazy by catering to the TeaBaggers.
"We have no plans to lie about anything/everything positive associated with Obamacare.
Anytime I see âWe have no plans âŚ,â I know thatâs exactly what theyâre going to do.

âWe have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans,â
âWeâre also not planning to gut Social Security and Medicare, weaken the EPA and totally shift the tax burden away from the 1% to the middle class,â Boehner said. âIn fact, those things never crossed our minds.â
