Rep. Stockman Walked Out of State of the Union; Now He Wants To Hand Obama His Walking Papers

“I could not bear to watch as he continued to cross the clearly-defined boundaries of the Constitutional separation of powers. Needless to say, I am deeply disappointed in the tone and content of tonight’s address.”

That was from Rep. Steve Stockman, who got up and walked out of the President’s State of the Union address Tuesday. From The Blaze:

Stockman accused the president of promising to “break his oath of office and begin enacting his own brand of law through executive decree.”

“This is a wholesale violation of his oath of office and a disqualifying offense,” he said, adding that the president has steadfastly refused to admit “his policies have failed.”

Citing Obama’s now daily promises to bypass Congress in order to enact his agenda, Stockman is taking the further step of announcing that he is considering filing articles of impeachment, in a statement released on StockmanForSenate2014.com, a site supporting his run, reports The Blaze.

I’m considering filing Articles of Impeachment against Barack Obama. You see, I walked out of Obama’s State of the Union address last night. Obama defiantly vowed not only to radically expand the reach of government from cradle to grave, but to smash the Constitution’s restrictions on government power while doing it. His goal is to eliminate our constitutional republic.
