Ron Paul wants Congress to impeach Obama

[Bold Believer]

Ron Paul is starting a campaign to impeach Obama primarily for the death of Anwar Al-Awlaki. As a Constitutionally defined traitor and enemy combatant, I contend that Mr. Awlaki died in the course of combat while making war against the United States, and that had he been captured, he would have stood trial and been convicted.

The Constitution defines treason as specific acts, namely the levying of War against the United States, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. Anwar Al-Awlaki has most definitely done this. He is by Constitutional definition, a traitor, being a natural born US citizen.

What say you all?

Being a traitor does not mean we can assassinate him without due process....... but being an enemy combatant does. Congress gave the president the go ahead to do such things in 2001. I personally think it's rather dangerous to put that kind of power in the hands of the president, but they did. I do believe that there should be a multiple judge court that should be an oversight to make sure the president does not abuse that power and/or make mistakes.

But as it stands I don't see this as an impeachable offense, he's just doing what Congress told his predecessor to do.

My point is that AA's demise in the course of lawful combat was 'dumb luck' if you will. We weren't 'out to get him' in the specific sense, he was one more enemy who just HAPPENED to be an American. And when we get Adam Gadahn, the same. Had we captured him alive, then we could try him for treason. It was in my opinion, the will of God that AA wound up dead. Like with OBL. I thank God that this man was killed in combat, sparing us the expense of trying him. May his death be a lesson to other American citizens who try making war against the US.

i just can't fathom Joe Biden as president....

If this guy renounced his citizenship would that still make him an American and if so then he would have needed to be tried in absentia and then convicted. If he renounced it that would make him an enemy of the nation wouldn't it?

To the comment about it being Gods will that allowed this man dead, I wonder about that period. In the story of Jonah we read how mad he was that God spared Niniveh yet what we get out of the story is that God does not wish death on anyone but wants all to come to know Him. I do not know the mind of God, cannot tell anyone if He wants specific people dead (I personally do not think its the case at all) but if thats the case then why allow other more evil minded people to live and do their terrible deeds yet decide that this one man needed to die.

shalom,

I think it was pretty obvious he wanted the Caananites all dead....

Yes for a specific reason but how can we compare that to this man? I don't think we can at all. God is not using obama to clear out His land for His called out ones is He? I cannot recall where God sent an army to kill one man for any reason but I could have missed it somewhere. I do not think God was the one behind killing this man as it was suggested.

I guess I missed that Mizz. It wasn't God that singled this person out, it was probably Don Rumsfield.... I don't know when we fingered him for destruction...... but it took way too long to suit me..

I agree, B.B. I never would celebrate the death of anyone but this guy needed to be sent to his 'allah'.

Praying For Our Commander-In-Chief

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 2:1-6

And For All Those He Commands

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 Thessalonians 3:1
