America is Great, Because America is Good

A reader of one of my articles recently suggested that Mr. Obama should be summarily removed from office for one of his numerous treasonous acts. Below is my response.


Summarily.

I know for a fact that there is no legal provision for summarily removing a president. But there is one
way that he can be quickly removed from office without an impeachment trial. One can not occupy the oval office while dead.

But, to kill Obama outright puts the killer lower than his target in the eyes of The Rule of Law. America's position of righteousness is not worth it.

One of the things that has been observed about America's greatness was the obvious fact that "America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."

I do not care whether it was quoted by Frenchman, Alexis de Tocqueville or not. It is a truth that stands and should guide us in all matters legal and otherwise.

The difficult journey towards truth and justice should hold forth even in the case of Mr. Obama's impeachment.

Shot for treason? Maybe. But if so, let it be in front of a legal American military firing squad, so that no single individual can be accused of murdering a sitting president. Let justice render forth the ultimate sentence and not passion or anger, regardless of its apparent righteousness.
