Sure, why not.

To impeach Obama requires a simple majority from the Republican controlled House of Representative.

Of cause there's no way the Republicans will be able to remove him since that requires a 2/3 majority of the senate.

I suppose you technically can impeach the President for anything. 

But, I think it would be laughable to impeach President Obama for something that isn't a crime.  Too laughable even for the clowns in the Republican caucus. 

So, what's the crime?  I can't think of anything.

They can try if they like but if they do even in a gerrymandered map as it is they will lose the house.

     If they were going to try to impeach Obama, don't you think it would have happened by now? We're four years into the game at this point.

That doesn't really matter to them. They impeached Clinton in his sixth year in office. Obviously in the first two years of Obama's term Republicans knew there was no way because Dems had a majority in both houses. They tried to create scandals once they took the house but nobody cared about Solyndra or Fast and Furious. Now they have something that actually could be damaging to the President and his administration, but again, nobody really cares except Fox News viewers. They might try but it will get nowhere.

Before the election, they were counting on defeating Obama, but since they failed, impeachment might actually be an option for them.

They can try. They will also lose the House if they do.

Not sure how it could be damaging if only Fox News viewers care. They already wanted Obama impeached the day he took office.

But yeah, nobody cared about Benghazi when it happened at a critical time in the general election. People really don't care now.

With the Clinton one there was at least things that happened.  An Obama impeachment trial would be an incoherent mess.
