Obama's Insurance Policy AGAINST Impeachment.....Good Ole Boy Biden!!

A Republican congressman known as a pit bull in Washington said Thursday that he doesn't support the idea of impeachment proceedings against President Obama because winning that fight would elevate the vice president to the Oval Office.
'Have you met Joe Biden?' South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy asked during a Fox News Channel interview.
Impeachment talk has swirled around Washington since the president announced that an executive order overhauling America's immigration system is imminent.
But some in the GOP see Biden as Obama's hedge against removal from office, since much of his public exposure has come in conjunction with a series of embarrassing gaffes.

A senior aide to a House Republican told MailOnline on Friday that 'Avoiding the "I" word' is a case of 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't.'
'Only in this case, we're pretty sure we know both devils. And Biden – he's two floppy shoes short of a complete clown outfit. Let's be honest: He's Obama's insurance policy.'
Impeachment is a process that begins in the House of Representatives with a list of charges that must fit what the U.S. Constitution calls 'high crimes and misdemeanors' – with 'high' referring to the level of the president's office, not the seriousness of the offenses.
A supermajority of two-thirds of U.S. senators are required to convict America's chief executive after a trial.
President Bill Clinton survived an impeachment after Senate Democrats remained unanimous in acquitting him. Richard Nixon resigned his office as a groundswell of support formed in Congress for impeachment proceedings following the Watergate scandal.
Obama appears safe, even with Republicans holding 54 or 55 of the upper chamber's 100 seats next year.
And besides, there's the Biden factor.
