When a president usurps power and subverts the Constitution, the U.S. Constitution provides a remedy: impeachment and removal from office. Hyperbolic language calling a president a “tyrant” or “despot” by politicians who lack the courage to impeach because it’s politically inconvenient is demagogic and dangerous. Outside of our constitutional system, in the whirlpool of political passion, tyrannicide has been the historical remedy for tyrants. To impugn President Obama a “tyrant” while refusing to impeach is to flirt with inciting extra-constitutional violence.
