Allen West Calls for Obama's Impeachment After Taliban Prisoner Exchange

Former U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama on Wednesday.

I want to get straight to the point and make this short and sweet, West emailed supporters on Wednesday. I submit that Barack Hussein Obama's unilateral negotiations with terrorists occurred without consult from the U.S. Congress and resulted in the release of dangerous al-Qaida leaders. These actions represent high crimes and misdemeanors against our nation and are grounds for impeachment.

I have called upon the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives; Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to draft articles of impeachment because no one is above the law in America, West added.
