This is what House Speaker John Boehner gets for allowing Rep. Steve King to lead, on anything. After the failure of his initial attempt at a border bill last Thursday, Boehner released a
statement from leadership that said, in part, "There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action." Well, Steve King
won't stand for that.
Rep. Steve King suggested on Sunday that Congress should begin impeachment talks if President Barack Obama moves ahead with an executive order that could defer deportation for millions of illegal immigrants.
"I think, then, we have to sit down and take a look at that. Where would we draw the line otherwise?" the Iowa Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." "If that's not enough to bring that about, then I don't know what would be. We've never seen anything in this country like a president that says 'I'm going to make up all immigration law that I choose, and I'm going to drive this thing regardless of the resistance of Congress.'" [...]
"But if the president has decided he's simply not going to enforce any immigration law. ... I think Congress has to sit down and have a serious look at the rest of this Constitution, and that includes that 'i' word that we don't want to say."
There you go, Boehner, you new leader has put impeachment back on the table. Have good luck with that one.
