Liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller, conservative activist and former business executive Carly Fiorina, Democratic National Committee spokesman Mo Elleithee and Sean Spicer sparred Sunday over Speaker John Boehner's plan to sue President Obama over his executive actions.
Miller called Boehner's action a "midterm stunt," noting President George W. Bush signed more executive orders in his terms in office than has Obama.
While Congressional Republicans meet with their constituents on President Obama’s health reform law, one faced a different question: should the president be impeached?
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, allowed the president was a “personal friend” but said his actions in office were becoming “perilously close” to the standard for impeachment.
Former GOP official Carly Fiorina said on CNN’s “State of the Union” she thinks it “foolish” to discuss impeachment.
“But what he went on to say was that in his view this president has been incompetent in key matters. I think many people would agree with that,” she said. “And then secondly, that the executive branch has used power in a way that is arbitrary, capricious, and in many people's views, unconstitutional.”
Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher, who worked for Obama’s campaigns, replied, “you can make that argument with every president.”
