The South Dakota Republican Party passed a resolution this weekend calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama.
Obama has “violated his oath of office in numerous ways,” the resolution states, citing his controversial decision to trade five Taliban prisoners for U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl and recent carbon emissions regulations, according to a report by the Argus Leader.
“I’ve got a thick book on impeachable offenses of the president,” said Allan Unruh, the tea party activist and chiropractor from Sioux Falls who sponsored the resolution. He said the resolution would “send a symbolic message that liberty shall be the law of the land.”
“If anyone in this room cannot see the horrendous, traitorous scandals run by the Obama administration, I will pray for you,” Larry Klipp of Butte County said during the debate, according to the paper.
Delegates voted 191-176, with the sizable minority criticizing the party for using impeachment as a political statement.
