Latest Petition- Impeach Obama!

I'm all for petitioning the governmental leaders, but please, by all means, be sure you use correct spelling, grammar and official language when doing so. It completely degrades your argument upon face value to the point that most will simply stop reading, regardless of slight possibility it may contain real insight.

The latest in a string of petitions filed by angry Americans on the Official White House website calls for the Impeachment of President Obama. 

PETITION: We request that Obama be impeached for the following reasons

I took one look at this particular petition, and frankly, there are not enough *facepalm*'s available across the entire internet to account for this ridiculousness. Most simply, and anyone with any sort of basic knowledge of American government would understand this --- you do not petition the White House to impeach the President! You MUST petition Congress!

That said, this petition was written to fail from it's beginning. If you can get beyond the rudimentary grammar, the vague language used could easily and effectively be skirted and dismissed by anyone with a little debate experience and knowledge of current events, let alone federal lawyers. There is no way a lawmaker or member of Congress would take this petition seriously as written. Granted, they would laugh it off anyway, but you get the point.

Do I have questions about what happened in Libya? ABSOLUTELY. Do I want to lose the low cost, high coverage health insurance I already have for glorified Medicaid? HELL NO. Do I believe some of the current administration's Executive Orders shat upon our Constitutional rights? YES. But this is an example of how NOT to go about legitimately seeking answers from our, albeit corrupt, governmental leaders.
