The Patriot Post® · Memo to GOP: Don't Fall for Obama's Impeachment Bait

Charles Krauthammer: “[Obama] will try to regain control of the national agenda with executive amnesty for illegal immigrants. … That would be naked impeachment bait. Don’t take it. Use the power of the purse to defund it. Pledge immediate repeal if Republicans take the White House in 2017. Denounce it as both unconstitutional and bad policy. But don’t let it overwhelm and overtake the GOP agenda. That’s exactly what Obama wants. It is his only way to regain the initiative. The 2014 election has given the GOP the rare opportunity to retroactively redeem its brand. … Pass legislation. When Obama signs, you’ve shown seriousness and the ability to govern. When he vetoes, you’ve clarified the differences between party philosophies and prepared the ground for 2016. Tuesday’s victory was big. But it did nothing more than level the playing field and give you a shot. Take it.”
