Gingrinch Wants to Impeach Obama and Probably Run for President To

Newt Gingrich is right. It's the job of the President of the United States to execute the laws of the United States of America. Obama's recent decision not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, based on the fact Obama doesn't believe the law in Constitutional, is a violation of the duties of the President of the United States. By the way, isn't it funny when a federal judge rules Obama's healthcare plan as unconstitutional, Obama wants to enforce it anyway?

Gingrich brought up the "I" word, impeachment for Obama if he fails his duties as President to execute the laws of the land. While I agree the federal government should not decide on the gay marriage issue, the federal government must step in to decide what to do if a gay couple gets married in a state that recognizes gay marriage and they reenter a state that doesn't recognize gay marriage. Gay marriage is a states rights issue, but when it crosses state lines, it becomes a federal issue. Which is why Obama not enforcing the law is dangerous and a threat to federalism.

Gingrich points out there would be a double standard if Palin had failed to execute the laws of the land as President.

“President Sarah Palin” had taken a similar action, there would have been immediate calls for her impeachment. Asked directly whether Obama could be subject to articles of impeachment, Gingrich said, “I think that’s something you get to much later. But I think clearly it is a dereliction of duty. Clearly it’s a violation of his constitutional oath. Clearly it is not something that can be allowed to stand."

Gingrich points out that Obama campaigned in favor of the defensive marriage act, but is now breaking a promise to the American people. As well, Obama's appointed Attorney General Eric Holder has warned Obama against not executing the Defense of Marriage Act.

I agree with Mr. Gingrich on this. This can't be allowed to stand. I also wonder if this is Newt's warning shot, "I'm running for President and Obama--not Mitt for Brains Romney is my target."
