Obama should be tried for treason?

[SuF]

Some of Mitt Romney's best moments on the 2012 campaign trail have come during town hall meetings when the candidate, long criticized as too uptight on the stump, strays off script to take questions from voters.

But the freewheeling nature of voter forums can have its drawbacks. Romney has faced hostile questions on everything from his wealth to his religion. And on Monday, he experienced another awkward moment, when a supporter stood and declared that President Barack Obama should be "tried for treason."

The comment came during a town hall meeting in Cleveland. Taking the microphone, a woman told Romney that Obama had been "operating outside the structure of our Constitution." Pausing after her question, she remarked to another member of the audience, "I agree, he should be tried for treason."

Turning back to Romney, she asked what he would do to "restore balance" between the three branches of government and "restore our Constitution." She did not specify why she believed Obama should be "tried for treason"—a comment that received a huge applause from the audience. And when it was his turn to respond, Romney ignored her suggestion about "treason" and instead spoke about how he would "respect the different branches of government."...

[Herman Li]

Could you at least put what he did that was "outside the structure of the Constitution"?

Damned if I know.

Even if Obama should be tried, it would not go through...

Anyway, the structure of the Constitution is kind of a grey area. Whoever is in charge will form the structure of the Constitution.

That is a completely ridiculous claim lol. Yeah, lets try Obama for treason!

I think it's quite comical that the audience apparently erupted into applause when the woman declared Obama should be tried for treason. Apparently she is not the only person who shares that opinion :laugh:

If someone says it, it must be true! But regardless... This is what politics is all about. Encouraging insane people to be insane and try and make their friends insane too. It's slightly annoying.

Sheer incompetence is not a crime, so no, Obama should not be tried for treason. All it would do is waste even more taxpayer dollars into another utter waste of time that involved Obama. I wouldn't mind a good, old-fashioned exile though.

i do agree with him being tried for treason, he needs to be gone and we do really need to start following the constitution more than they do because they are allowing too many things get by that really "Arnt' allowed acording to the constitution.

I would love to debate your dad. I think it is funny that she said it at a Romney rally...

IMO- nothing bad has happened to me because Obama has been in office, things have actually gotten a little better. I know others can't say this because they might live in different areas but where I live there was almost no effect on the economy other than gas prices and that is not his fault.

 

[Noam]

TBH Obama did the best he could in a tough spot - I would have liked to see someone else take office, but Obama is better than McCain and definitely better than Mitt Romney.

 

[The Riddler_]

No, because it's a baseless claim.

 

[Emperor Nero]

Lets name a few presidents who we know for sure broke constitutional law:

Lincoln
Nixon
Andrew Jackson

I know there are more, but I would have to do a little more research to make sure I am correct.

Your father is ignorant, does that mean I can try him for treason too?
