WASHINGTON,
June 26 (RIA Novosti) – The US Congress can impeach President Barack
Obama on many charges that do not even require hearings, Francis Boyle, a
constitutional scholar and
law professor at University of Illinois, told RIA Novosti Thursday.
“There
are many grounds for impeachment. With the dire situation of the
country, I think we need a silver bullet approach. We need to stop
Obama. He can be impeached by the House on
charges that do not require hearings, the evidence is all there in the
public record,” Boyle, who worked with Democratic Representative Henry
B. Gonzales in impeachment charges against President George H.W. Bush,
said.
The
expert outlined the charges that can be brought without hearings
include Obama’s violation of the War Powers clause of the Constitution
as well as the War Powers Act of 1973 in
executing the 2011 war in Libya without Congressional authorization.
He
went further, alleging that Obama is guilty “of the murder of four US
citizens in violation of the 5th amendment guaranteeing due process.”
Boyle referred to the drone assassinations
which killed US citizens and was justified in a 2010 White House legal
memorandum recently released to the public.
