Meese: Obama Could Be Impeached If He Uses Executive Order For Gun Control

Meese: Obama Could Be Impeached If He Uses Executive Order For Gun Control | RealClearPolitics
NEWSMAX: So, if the president unilaterally overrides the Second Amendment via an executive order, would this be Constitutional?
Would it be legal?
And how should Congress respond?
MEESE: Well it would not be legal, it would not be Constitutional and, indeed, if he tried to override the Second Amendment in any way, I believe it would be an impeachable offense.
MEESE: Then, it would be up to the Congress to take action, such as looking in to it to see if, in fact, he has really tried to override the Constitution itself.
In which case, it would be up to them to determine what action they should take — and perhaps even to the point of impeachment.
