i dont want to give the impression that i disagree with some of ur believes, but u really need to stop using the terms, treason or impeached, the way they vote as house members is the way the ppl in their district want them to vote, or they would not be reelected. and treason i will not even address, the way they vote and they believe never even touches that threshold, which is mainly in time of war a declared war or maybe like a cia employee passing on intel to another countrys intelligence agency, now i may not have this totally correct, its off the top of my head, but the way they believe and vote and represent their constituents is what the ppl that voted for them want, some districts are affluent, or conservative in their views, im not reflecting on ur view, u just need to realize these 2 words do not apply here , as to the way they should be used, and the threshold it would take to implement them . take care

treason and impeachment require the breaking of the law, and treason has a high threshold, and u cant impeach members of congress for wanting to pass bills their constituents want that u dont want, u can use those words as i see now u are not going to stop, but u are wrong in how those words should be used and not alittle wrong ur totally wrong, should a conservative person call for impeachment of a liberal house member that is from a libaral district, to use those works make ur argument over the top and it discredits ur views,

badmouthing a president during a war is not treason, its freedom or speech, if that were treason, all the vietnam protestors in the 60s and 70s would be in prison for just the words they spoke, even sit ins that disrupt , is not treason,but u know this, ur just going over the top.

it has nothing to do with Bills Rosco, when a congressman /repug stands on the house floor and calls the president a liar,or a failure then it is treason,also when they question his birth and everything he proposes for defiance,not doing anything to help return this country to the better, it is breaking the constitutional laws~
he is the sitting president, and we are at war did you forget?:they can be impeached it maybe hard to do but it can be done.it is for a political figure or senator to do this it is treason/plain and simple. I am not talking about civilians Rosco, I will see if i can find anything on it

I'm going to agree with rosco on this. Its not treason to speak your mind about a president or anyone else. That would be silly. Its obvious you can say whatever you want about a president. That's the way this country is and what it stands for. Freedom! Its not treason to speak your mind even if its negative about a prosident. It just goes without saying. People do it all the time. Its a constitutional right. I'm sure moon can back me on this.

here is the article
WASHINGTON (CNN) - A Republican House member shouted "you lie" during President Barack Obama's health-care speech to Congress on Wednesday, and members of both parties condemned the heckling.
When Obama denied that proposed health-care legislation would provide free health coverage for illegal immigrants, South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!"
Obama paused and looked toward the Republican side of the chamber before
continuing his speech.
After the speech, Republican Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate defeated by Obama last year, called Wilson's outburst "totally disrespectful" and said he should apologize.
McCain said there was "no place for it in that setting or any other and he should apologize immediately."
Other Republicans also criticized Wilson, along with the expected Democratic condemnation.
"It was crude and disrespectful," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, a top Senate Democrat. "I think the person who said it will pay a price."

Impeachment in the United States is an expressed power of the legislature that allows for formal charges against a civil officer of government for crimes committed in office. The actual trial on those charges, and subsequent removal of an official on conviction on those charges, is separate from the act of impeachment itself.
Impeachment is analogous to indictment in regular court proceedings, while trial by the other house is analogous to the trial before judge and jury in regular courts. Typically, the lower house of the legislature will impeach the official and the upper house will conduct the trial.
At the federal level, Article II of the United States Constitution (Section 4) states that "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate. In Nixon v. United States (1993), the Supreme Court determined that the federal judiciary cannot review such proceedings.
Impeachment can also occur at the state level; state legislatures can impeach state officials, including governors, according to their respective state constitutions.

the point was a senator or any official person can be impeached,if we complain enough about mcconnell,boehner, investigation can occur which if anything is found like bribery or treason or anything of breaking the law that individual can be impeached, that was the point.

I don't see what all has been said on this thread, but if we're talking about calling any politician a liar or anything else, that would be a purely civil offense unless the name-calling falls under a "criminal slander" statute. I'm sure if that were the case,Holder would not hesitate to prosecute.

Gypsy if you are laughing at me I deserve it. I didn't realize at the time moon meant ignore meaning the forum feature.
Ok, now, if moon has you on ignore as I think he does for now I will ask you not to reply to his posts directly. You can reply in the topic but not directly to him for now. If moon posts directly to you then you can post directly to him. Lets see how that goes.
Like I said before I can't tell for sure who has who on ignore. So I'll play it by ear.
I will ask that you wait until someone else posts in his topics before you do. And don't direct them at him. thanks
