South Dakota GOP Passes Resolution Calling for Obama’s Impeachment

The South Dakota Republican Party passed a resolution Saturday alleging President Barack Obama has “violated his oath of office in numerous ways” and calling for his impeachment.

The resolution, sponsored by a member who boasted that he had a “thick book on impeachable offenses of the president,” was passed 191-176 at the party’s state convention over the weekend. Obama’s alleged offenses ranged from his claim that people could keep their insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act to new EPA regulations to the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap.

Alas, the party’s only Representative didn’t seem too into the idea of initiating impeachment proceedings.

“The congresswoman currently believes the best way for Congress to hold the president accountable is to continue aggressive committee oversight and investigations into the administration’s actions like the ongoing VA scandal, the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS, Benghazi, and the recent Taliban prisoner exchange,” a spokesperson for Representative Kristi Noem (R-SD) said.
