Immigration Reform 2014: Is Impeachment of Obama Still a Possibility; Obama's Executive Action, Dates

The news of Republicans working to impeach President Barack Obama is nothing new. In fact, it's reportedly been a rumor since Obama first took office in 2008. But now, given that Obama is set to make an executive decision on immigration reform, Republicans have a whole new reason to push for the president's removal.

An executive decision isn't expected to come until at least the end of summer, which makes September or late October ideal. Both sides of the aisle have something to gain from this idea of impeaching Obama. While Republicans are willing to risk the move in hopes of regaining power in Washington, the Democrats are referencing the idea in a bid to make money for their upcoming mid-term election campaigns.

"Republicans of varying levels of prominence have brought up and continue to bring up their interest in making impeachment happen," reported the Washington Post. "Mike Huckabee--a potential 2016 candidate--stated flatly that Obama has "done plenty of things worthy of impeachment," but that Republicans "don't have the Senate" and so it "would never even get to the floor," the Washington Post wrote.

Politicians who are fully in support of impeachment include: Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Joe Miller (R-Alaska), Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), Rep. Randy Weber (R-Tex.), Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) are among those legislators who somewhat support the idea of impeachment.

Of course, there's no telling how opinions might change once Obama issues his executive order, reports say. "According to the Center for American Progress, Obama's options for executive action on the immigration issue fall into two categories: 'enforcement reforms,' in which the administration could place a lower priority on deporting undocumented immigrants who don't have a criminal history or who have ties to a community in the US; or 'affirmative relief,' which could create a program to identify low-priority migrants and offer them relief from deportation, like the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that offers relief to unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border. "

It might be early September when the world finds out what Obama will choose to do: possible amnesty or work permits for millions, or something less?
