Probably, if you can convince 2/3s of congress to vote for it. Although obviously they would find some way to truss it up to at least be a misdemeanor in order to make it seem less rankly partisan.
You can also cite probably the most appropriately named Supreme Court case EVER as authority: Nixon v. United States.
It isn't the Nixon you're thinking of in the context of impeachment but that is what makes it so great.

 This is the republican's fault? Eventually he is going to have to take responsibility for his own actions.
What does 'responsibility for his own actions' have to do with this particular event?
Sometimes when you bend over backwards to avoid pointing fingers you can really get yourself confused.

Back to the topic....the inability of congress to perform its basic funtions is really forcing the exective branch to grab more and more power. Stuff has to get done....and unfortunately Congress just wants to take a pass on most things.

Just what it means. You can't keep doing things then blaming others. You should try to stop apologizing all the time. Talk about bending over. Hows your back?

Recess appointments aren't anything new.
Just because congress claims they never go into recess anymore doesn't mean they aren't full of shit in claiming such a stupid thing.

I have no problem with Obama doing what he did. None whatsoever. I am laughing at blaming the republicans because are mean and yucky.
