@parados,
WE MUST:
1. Impeach and remove presidents who do not comply with their oath or affirmation to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution?
parados posted:
1. No because the Constitution does not list that as reason for impeachment.
Failure of the President to comply with his oath of office is a "high crime and misdemeaner."
Quote:
Article II.
Section 4. 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.
2. Limit Congress's powers to tax to those powers granted it by the Constitution, Article I, Section 8;
parados posted:
2. No because the power to tax is NOT only in Art 1 Section 8.
The power to tax for the
common defense and general welfare of the United States is granted the federal government
only in the Constitution, Article I, Section 8. No where in the Constitution, not even in Article I, Section 8, is the federal government granted the power to tax for the purpose of transfering wealth from those who earned it to those who have not earned it.
3. Continue the 2010 tax system until a simpler flatter and fairer tax can be adopted;
parados posted:
3. No because the GOP passed a bill already that was signed by a GOP President.
The GOP President did not sign a bill that
continued the 2010 tax system beyond 2010 until a simpler flatter and fairer tax can be adopted.
4. Rescind these federal expenditures
--Fanny & Freddie Mae
--Tarp and Stimulus
--Obama Healthcare
--Ear marks;
parados posted:
4. Since you are listing items that aren't expenditures, I don't agree because you make no sense ican.
These items are costing the federal government some of its revenue. Consequently, these items are expenditures.
5. Close USA's borders to illegal immigration;
parados posted:
5. Obama has done more than GW Bush did. How do you propose to close them ican so that NO illegals can get across? It can't be done.
Obama has not done enough! In fact he has restricted more being done. He has filed a lawsuit against the government of Arizona to prevent it from arresting immigrants discovered to be illegal immigrants when they are detected to have violated other laws. So all Obama has to do is drop that lawsuit so that Arizona and all the governments of all the other states can do what the government of Arizona wants to do.
6. Permit drilling for oil off shore and in 19 hundred of the 19 million acres of ANWR.
parados posted:
6. No.
Yes, to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
7. Before submitting any bill for the president to sign, Congress shall specify wherein the Constitution Congress is granted the power to pass that bill;
parados posted:
7. No that violates the Constitution
Yes it would violate the Constitution, if not done AFTER the Constitution is amended to permit it to be done.
8. Replace these federal expenditures with tax exemptions
--Medicare
--Medicare
--retirement insurance
parados posted:
8. That doesn't even make sense ican?
How do you propose to turn SS into a tax exemption?
Allow anyone who chooses to keep what he or she is currently having deducted from his income to pay for these things, and buy them instead from private insurers or savings plans, while deducting their cost from his personal income tax.
9. Prohibit Congress from passing any law that
--requires a person to join a union in order to obtain any job
--denies employees in any shop secret ballots to vote in union elections;
parados posted:
9. Again you violate the Constitution ican.
Yes it would violate the Constitution, if not done AFTER the Constitution is amended to permit it to be done.
10. Prohibit federal expenditures from exceeding federal revenues without the approval of two-thirds of the state legislatures.
parados posted:
10 That violated the Constitution ican
Yes it would violate the Constitution, if not done AFTER the Constitution is amended to permit it to be done.
