8/21/13 - A former Fowlerville teacher who is now a member of Congress says it would be a "dream come true" to seek the impeachment of President Barack Obama but says he lacks evidence of crimes to back such a move. Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio of Milford made the comment to supporters in Birmingham. The talk was posted on YouTube. In response to a woman's question about impeaching the president, Bentivolio says he wishes he could submit an impeachment bill. He tells her he feels her pain about Obama because he "stood 12 feet away from the guy" and "couldn't stand being there." Bentivolio says it's his job to respect the office of the presidency and says anyone who seeks his impeachment without evidence would "become a laughing stock." Nevertheless, Bentivolio said he invited lawyers to his office, who advised him that he must have evidence before taking such a controversial stand. Bentivolio served for a short time as an English teacher at Fowlerville High School before resigning following a reprimand for aggressive behavior toward his students. (JK)
