GOP Threatens Impeachment if Obama Implements New Gun Laws thru Executive Order

The White House has identified 19 executive orders for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obama’s task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.

The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Monday’s meeting.

The executive actions could include giving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authority to conduct national research on guns, more aggressive enforcement of existing gun laws and pushing for wider sharing of existing gun databases among federal and state agencies, members of Congress in the meeting said.

OBAMA: ‘I DON’T BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN GUNS’

What exactly will Obama do with “executive action” rather than legislation? There are several options. First, he can attempt to issue orders that would go to better coordination between state and federal authorities under current law. Or he could stretch. He could attempt to ban types of guns, certain types of magazines, or anything else he try to prevent importation on certain types of weapons, or push harsher law enforcement on certain types of gun sales.

Obama is one Supreme Court justice away from being able to really destroy balance of power; right now, Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Kennedy would likely stand against an attempt to broaden the scope of executive order power. But should Justice Kennedy retire at some point in the future, look for the Supreme Court to sign off on a dramatic shift in the balance of power to the executive.

It is, of course, virtually impossible that President Obama would ever be impeached with a Senate Democrat majority, no matter what sort of usurpation of power he pursued. Nonetheless, Stockman’s outrage represents that of a growing number of Americans uninterested in an imperial presidency.
