Impeachment can only happen when a political figure has broken the law, there is much buzz around Obama's health care bill getting passed was unconstitutional and as Americans we all know that the constitution is what everything answers to.

Under the tenth amendment the states are not required to follow any non-constitutional legislation passed by the federal government and I've heard rumor that a number of states have announced they will use this to their advantage. The tenth amendment in my interpretation says the buck stops with the people, if a local community chooses not to follow a state or federal law, they are not required to (considering the proper procedure is followed) unless it is protected by the constitution.

I see two aspects of the law that could be considered unconstitutional, the first is the fact that it requires the people to buy something out of their own pocket from a private company (which was my main gripe when my oh-so-lovely home state of Massachusetts passed it's own state-run forced health care bill).

The second part is how the bill itself was passed. Reconciliation before now has been used for budget matters only, not for a huge legislation such as this.

This begs the question, if brought to court and ruled to have broken the constitution either by the clause requiring people to purchase something from a private company or by his method of getting it passed (or both), should Obama be impeached? And what about the senators who voted yes?

For the record I consider myself an independent, I am by no means either liberal or conservative as my political views come from both sides (A good example is I hate big government, but I also hate big corporation).

Hear me out.

We should have one ruling body at the Federal Level, and it should be the Senate. There should be no President and no Supreme Court. The body which writes the law should interpret and enforce the law. duh. they are the ones who know what it means, since they wrote it.

Every 4 years, we waste billions and billions of dollars on campaign spending for President, and we have stupid Supreme Court rulings such as the courts saying the Senate couldn't ban abortion by Constitutional Amendment with the Roe vs Wade ruling, which was itself Unconstitutional.

I'm 42 years old, and ever president in my lifetime has been an unqualified LOSER. It's time we completely abolish the office of President.

Some laws which should be fundamental in a proposed new constitution:

1) All provably false religions are banned. You can be a Deist, but you cannot be a Polytheist nor worship a man-god.

2) Abolish the Double Jeopardy clause from the constitution. If new evidence or a later admission shows you committed a crime after you were falsely aquitted, you should go back on trial and go to prison or be executed as your crime deserves. (O. J. Simpson et al).

3) A federal law requiring both State, Local, and Federal budgets to be balanced regardless of circumstances. If they fail to balance the budget they must immediately raise taxes to balance the budget.

4) A federal law limiting military spending to 2 percent of GDP unless engaged in a fully declared war.

4b) A Federal law making it illegal to declare an offensive war without some benchmark of a degree of risk, such as having already been attacked on homeland, but limiting counter attacks to those nations and terrorist organizations directly responsible. This would have prevented the Iraq and Afghan wars, and would pretty much require that we declare war on Saudi Arabia and Pakistan instead, if any war should have happened at all.

5) A Federal Law giving control of Energy Infrastructure to Congress.
