A Constitutional Question About Impeaching Clintons

Posted by on

I’m still excited about getting impeachment started for Hillary. Here’s some slogans readers have come up with for the movement:
“Impeach Clinton! Nobody can impeach just one!”
“She has gout! Throw her out!”
“I Can’t Stand When Women Have Power!”
Please try and come up with more in the comments.
I’ve been thinking though. Let’s say Hillary is elected President and then we impeach her for her evilness and the Senate throws her out of office (“Get out of here, you crazy broad!”). What’s if we’re bored soon after and want to impeach a Clinton again? Is there anything in the Constitution preventing us from reelecting Hillary so we can impeach her once again? I checked the Constitution (it’s only like two pages) and I don’t see anything keeping a president who was thrown out of office from being reelected (interestingly, though, the Constitution does have a clause saying “Don’t elect Ron Paul! He’s a kook!”). The other questions would be if we throw Hillary out of office soon after electing her, does that count as a term? I.e., can we keep electing her over and over and impeaching her each time so long as she doesn’t serve two full terms? It would be like Lucy with the football (“Come on Hillary. This time we won’t impeach you. We promise… Ha! Impeached!”).
These are significant Constitutional questions. We should get to the bottom of them.

  2. We need Hillary to get the Nod from the democrats. She is the worst that the democrats have, and if she wins, which I doubt she will, but if she does then we get the house and senate back in 2010 and the Presidency in 2012.
    Hillary is much more contemptible than Bill.

  3. There’s a ‘Clinton’ amendment in the Constitution, amendment 11b, written in 1802 in case then-New York-senator DeWitt Clinton (hey!) ever sought the presidency. Under this clause, anyone who is, or has at one time been, named Clinton can be bounced from the preesidency because somebody in the Senate wakes up in a bad mood.
    Proceed.

  6. Yeah, we have to elect Hillary, so that we can impeach her, so we can elect Chelsea in about 15 years, and impeach her too. We wouldn’t want her to feel left out or anything, it could damage her self esteem.

  12. Why are you asking us about the Constitution? Everybody knows that only the Paul-bots are definitive authorities on the Constitution. I suggest you ask this question on one of the fake Fred, Rudy, Mitt, etc. supporter web sites that the Ron Paul zombies have set up.
    Just remember not to give them your e-mail address….

  15. Since the candidates have seen fit to hit the campaign trail two years before election day, I think starting an impeachment campaign at this late date is decidedly timely. In fact, it would work out very well since Congress would already be in town for inauguration day, so they could meet the following morning to hand down the articles of impeachment!
    Good thinking!
