The South Dakota Republican Party passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama.
The Argus Leader reports the state party’s resolution specifically cites the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap as a violation of the oath of office, which should be grounds for removal from office.
The final vote was 191-176 in favor of impeachment.
Allen Unruh of Sioux Falls sponsored the resolution.
“I’ve got a thick book on impeachable offenses of the president,” Unruh said, calling on South Dakota to “send a symbolic message that liberty shall be the law of the land.”
But Larry Klipp of Butte County, a retired Marine, said matters go beyond mere political disagreements with Obama.
“If anyone in this room cannot see the horrendous, traitorous scandals run by the Obama administration, I will pray for you,” Klipp said.
