What scandals? They are like the old time police officer who would 'throw the book ' at you and hope one of the charges will stick. This GOP action merely validates this senseless 'effort of disrespect'.
In light of the recent scandals that have rocked the administration, political figures both in and out of office have spoken out on the possibility of impeaching President Barack Obama.
While some have floated the possibility of impeachment, others have defended the president, claiming it's too soon to resort to such extremes without concrete proof of Obama's knowledge or involvement in the scandals.
Despite the newfound scrutiny and criticism, Obama's approval rating has not been affected, according to recent polling.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah)
Chaffetz has said Obama's impeachment was "within the realm of possibilities."
Chaffetz later doubled down on the possibility, claiming the Obama administration was "embroiled in a scandal that they created."
"It's a cover-up," Chaffetz said of the administration's response to the attack in Benghazi. "I'm not saying impeachment is the end game, but it's a possibility, especially if they keep doing little to help us learn more."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
Paul has said talk of impeachment is premature.
"We need to figure out the truth of what happened [with the IRS scandal] before we go anywhere else," Paul said.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.)
Bachmann appeared happy to further whispers of impeachment, telling a crowd at a tea party rally in May that she's asked every weekend: "Why aren't you impeaching the president?"
