So you are saying Obama may be impeached because of the sequestration? The sequestration that Congress passed?
That seems like a bit of a stretch.
But besides that...there has been a move to impeach Obama since he took the Oath in 2009...so I am not surprised that someone thinks he should be impeached due to legislation that was passed Constitutionally.

Sequestration was thought up by the White House and ultimately put into effect by signed order of Obama, personally. It would be a point of debate perhaps ....if his own people hadn't reluctantly confirmed it.
White House finally admits, Obama admin created the sequester
Sperling Admits Obama Misled in Debate: The President Did Propose the Sequester
He did it. He owns it. Good or bad. It's all part of being the Leader of the Nation. It's past time he get used to that concept, IMO.

I was just reading that Clapper is giving testimony on Worldwide Threats right now and it reminded me of his statements last month. The link to his statement is below:
Clapper Statement
A quote from the statement:
So let me now be blunt for you and for the American people – Sequestration forces the intelligence community to reduce all intelligence activities and functions without regard to impact on our mission. In my considered judgment as the nation's senior intelligence officer, sequestration jeopardizes our nation's safety and security, and this jeopardy will increase over time.
Now it may or may not be a big stretch to see this a a warning shot that if something happens then Obama will be held accountable.
I wonder if we will see anything come from the political community about this being a direct result of sequester and demanding for actions to be taken against the White House?

Obama didn't "do" anything alone. Congress passed it, Obama signed it. The entire legislative and executive branch is responsible for the sequester, to try to claim that Obama is solely responsible and that it is grounds for impeachment is just more desperation from Republicans.
And the sequestration was never suppose to happen anyway, the only reason it did was because Congress, not Obama, failed to pass legislation that would make the required budget cuts to avoid the sequestration. Congress could not do this, hence the sequestration....nothing on Obama.
But the Republicans have been wanting to impeach Obama for all kinds of stupid reasons, so I am not surprised that people are still bringing up stupid reasons for Obama's impeachment. Just more drama from sore losers.

If Obamas purpose was to be better than Bush, he failed miserably.
Bush was bad, but Obama takes the cake IMO.
Yes- they should both be held accountable for international criminal acts. Every single criminal act
that they have been caught doing, should all take forward in criminal and impeachment hearings.
If you ask me- that should be done not only on a national level, but an international one.

I'm a little confused.
I understand you're questioning whether or not the president will be impeached etc...
I'm confused on the grounds or reasoning though. Are you suggesting that the sequestration was solely his idea and that he is to blame for the sequestration?
If so, why exactly do you feel this way?

well Obama had earlier instructed ALL government Agencies to EDIT all documents that calls or even alludes to Jihadists as Murderers of Infidels
he instructed all Agencies and Departments to sanitize all instructions & printed material to redact any mention of Jihadist Muslims as avowed Miltants or Terrorists, religious based causes or not
