Impeachment of Barack Obama pb

ARTICLE II

by a Patriot

(Jun. 30, 2014) — [Editor’s Note:  The following is the second installment in a series written when Obama had been in office only nine months.  The first Article is here.]

In his conduct while President of the United States, Barack Obama, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has willfully corrupted and manipulated the legislative process of the United States, in that:

(1) during his nine months in office he has usurped the powers of Congress by attempting to oversee the 2010 census, first by attempting to place his aide de camp in an oversight position with the Department of Commerce, U. S. Bureau of the Census and then by assigning his community activist organization in enumerating positions in the Census Bureau  which is unconstitutional according to Article I, Section 2, pp 3 whereby the census shall be conducted, “. . . in such Manner as they (Congress) shall by Law direct.”.  Congress has directed that the Census Bureau, not the Executive, conduct the Census for very obvious reasons, namely that the census results control voting districts and;

(2) not re-instating the citizenship question in the census is also unconstitutional according to the constitutional references of paragraph four and supreme court decision of paragraph five, below.  During his attempt at control of the census he was also guilty of attempting to enumerate illegal immigrants.

The constitution in Article I. Section 2. para 3 on apportionment states: “. . . .Number of free Persons, . . . ” but this was superseded by Amendment XIV. Section 2. ” . . . , counting the number of whole persons . . . .” and “But when the right to vote at any election . . . .” “is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, . . . representation therein; shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens . . . .”. The age and gender provisions of this Article were later superseded, of course.

In the 1964 case of Wesberry v. Sanders, the Supreme Court said, “The House of Representatives, the [Constitutional] Convention agreed, was to represent the people as individuals and on a basis of complete equality for each voter.” It ruled that Georgia had violated the equal-vote principle because House districts within the state did not contain roughly the same number of voting citizens. Justice Hugo Black wrote in his majority opinion that “one man’s vote in a congressional election is to be worth as much as another’s.” The same principle is being violated now on a national basis because of our faulty census.

By attempting to maneuver around the Constitution and control the census, Barack Obama has undermined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as President, and has acted in a manner subversive of the Constitution of the United States, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

Wherefore, Barack Obama, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.
