Gingrich says Obama’s DOMA snub could be an impeachable offense

Former House speaker calls Obama's decision to not enforce Defense of Marriage Act a dereliction of duty

Published

Newt Gingrich said in an interview with conservative website Newsmax that he believes President Obama’s decision to stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act is a potentially impeachable offense. The former Speaker of the House — and presumptive candidate for president — stopped short of saying congressional Republicans should call for articles of impeachment against Obama. He did say, however, that if a hypothetical President Sarah Palin similarly rejected congressional legislation, she would be crucified by the left.
