Marilinda Garcia eyes general election, evades Obama impeachment question
Last night, 2nd district congressional candidate Marilinda Garcia was given a chance to repeat her charge that the president has committed “many, many impeachable offenses.” She passed.
Before a small, partisan audience in New Boston earlier this year, Garcia was asked if she would vote to impeach Pres. Obama. Her answer was unequivocal. “I would,” she said. “He has many, many impeachable offenses, it seems to me, in terms of his disregard for our Constitution alone, so I would…”

She was asked the same question by WMUR’s Josh McElveen last night before a statewide television audience. This time, with her eye on the general election, Garcia evaded the question with a carefully worded response.
“Should Pres. Obama face impeachment hearings?” McElveen asked.
“After all of the proper review,” Garcia answered, “should this come up, I certainly think every member of Congress, if it’s determined that in fact he has overstepped the bounds of his constitutional obligations and authority, then of course, all members of Congress ought to be supporting impeachment.”
