NALC COMPILES LAUNDRY LIST OF OBAMA’S IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES

“There is no debate over the fact that the Barack Hussein Obama regime is by far the most impeachable regime to ever seize and hold the people’s White House,” says News with Views contributor J. B. Williams. Furthermore, “Because Vice President Joe Biden has been a complicit co-conspirator in all of Obama’s crimes, starting with his fraudulent seizure of White House power in 2008, Joe Biden cannot succeed Barack Obama to the Presidency. He is a criminal co-conspirator.”

The North American Law Center has compiled no less than fourteen pages of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by presidential impostor Barry Soetoro and members of his administration. (www.northamericanlawcenter.org)

lawful identity, namely, Barack Hussein Obama, II, Barry Soetoro, or Barack Hussein Obama
Soebarkah. Evidence exists that demonstrates Barack Hussein Obama is using Social Security
numbers, none of which appear to have been issued in the state of Hawaii or that lawfully are
attached to his legal identity; and that Barack Hussein Obama has concealed all of his bona fide
birth, school, passport, residency, Selective Service and previous employment records in an

the presidential oath of office on false and fraudulent pretenses;
2. Before, during and since his election in 2008, has made false and misleading statements
under oath of perjury, to unlawfully accept the office of President of the United States;
3. He has withheld all determinative and material information concerning his true identity

the United States, under obligation to assure the people of the United States that he is the
person he presents himself as, and is constitutionally eligible to hold the office of
President;
4. He has engaged in approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counseling witnesses with
respect to the giving of false or misleading statements and documents to lawfully
authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States concerning his true
identity;

his true identity by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Secret Service, The Democratic Party, the news media, and
Congressional Committees;
6. He has approved, condoned, and/or acquiesced in, the surreptitious payment of
substantial sums of money for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing the
testimony of witnesses, potential witnesses or individuals who participated in such
unlawful activities;
7. He has endeavored to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the United
States in the cover up of his identity fraud;
8. He has disseminated information received from officers of the Department of Justice of
the United States to subjects of investigations conducted by lawfully authorized
investigative officers and employees of the United States, for the purpose of aiding and
assisting such subjects in their attempts to avoid criminal liability;
9. He has made or caused to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose
of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete
investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of identity fraud and
misconduct;
10. He has endeavored to cause prospective witnesses to expect favored treatment and
consideration in return for their silence or false testimony, or rewarding individuals for
their silence or false testimony;
In all of this, Barack Hussein Obama has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and
subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice
and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Barack Hussein Obama, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and
removal from office.

Democratic Party to manipulate election results in multiple states and districts;
14. In refusing to produce papers and records, Barack Hussein Obama, substituting
his sole judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed

to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the
