During Barack Obama's tenure as President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, certain Republican members of Congress, as well as Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich,[1] stated that Obama had engaged in impeachable activity and that he might face attempts to remove him from office.[2] Rationales offered for possible impeachment included that Obama allowed people to use bathrooms based on their gender identity, the 2012 Benghazi attack, Obama's enforcement of immigration laws, and false claims that he was born outside the United States.
