The Hill - "Bachmann: House could impeach 'dictator' Obama for his offenses"
With the current GOP, Bachmann is part of the governing wing of the House Republicans along with birther Mark Meadows, who is the mastermind behind the shutdown effort.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said Tuesday that President Obama has “committed impeachable offenses” and that the House could hold a hearing to impeach.
“We can have an impeachment hearing in the House, and in my mind the president has committed impeachable offenses,” Bachmann told conservative talk show host Rusty Humphries in an interview first detailed by Right Wing Watch.
Bachmann was careful to distinguish between the House’s ability to impeach the president, which she said would merely be a “stain” on his record, and the Senate’s authority to remove the president from office, which she acknowledged would be unlikely in the Democratic-controlled upper chamber.
Still, the Minnesota Republican warned that impeachment was a “disruptive and harmful” tool.
