Dewhurst calls for Obamas impeachment Catalina Camia, Dewhurst, a Republican whos drawn three primary rivals, called for Obama to be impeached over issues such as the administrations handling of the deadly attack last year on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the national health care law.Dewhursts comments were made during a recent Tarrant County Tea Party forum and were first reported on by Twitter by a reporter for the Texas Observer. The account was later confirmedby theTexas Tribune.Dewhurst spokesman Travis Considine told theTexas Tribune that Dewhurst, a former CIA officer, feels very strongly about the tragedy in Benghazi and has said that Congress should consider impeaching the president over the tragedy. Four Americans were killed in the attack, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.Considine added Dewhurst also believes that President Obama should be held accountable for Washingtons failure to secure the border and the gross overreach of the federal government under Obamacare.Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who defeated Dewhurst in the GOP primary last year on the way to winning his Senate seat, conceded this summer there arent enough votes in the U.S. Senate to impeach Obama.Still, the subject has been mentioned by some House Republicans such as Rep.
