Video: Congressman Tim Scott Threatens Impeachment Push

While House Speaker John Boehner cries and plays golf with President Obama, freshman Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) threatens to push for impeachment if the president attempts to go around Congress to get what he wants relative to the debt limit. Here is Scott at a recent town hall at which he is asked about Congress having its power usurped by the Executive Branch. It's interesting that people are looking at the Fourteenth Amendment (section 4) in making this case. If raising the debt ceiling is being done to suppress insurrection or rebellion against the U.S., the increased debt is to be considered 'null and void.'
