What will it take to impeach George Bush so we can get our troops home?

Grow up and get a clue. Impeaching him would not get our troops home. I have friends there and they are glad they are. I get pictures weekly of all of the great things we are accomplishing there. You know the media only has bad things to say you don't hear or see all of the great things that are taking place there because we have a president that has the guts to take care of what needs to be taken care of.

There's not really a way out now that he's involved the U.S. in a country we have no business invading.  If we suddenly pull out, there'd be chaos.  Since he thought there was WMD, it gave him credibility to attack, but now as it turns out, he and his administration were DEAD WRONG.  I think it's all a big conspiracy myself in that it's a fight re: oil and he's continuing what his pop started when he was in office.  Bush is a complete idiot and has no business being the president.  He has failed us time and time again (Iraq; Hurricane Katrina; running up the deficit; etc.)  The man deserves to be impeached.

First, a member of the House of Representatives has to introduce a bill to form an impeachment panel.   This has already been done; the bill has been presented by Democratic Congressman John Conyers and has 29 co-sponsors. \n\nIf there’s enough support to form the panel, the panel conducts an investigation to see if there is grounds for impeachment.\n\nThose grounds for impeachment are, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."\n\nClarification continues, ". . . those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself." \n\nThis would include going to war for political gain and the disenfranchisement of voters, both of which I believe President Bush has done and can be proven.\n\nContinuing, "[I]f the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty; . . ."\n\nHis connection with Ken Lay and Tom DeLay could be considered suspicious and I believe by defending them as he has done, Bush would be inclined to protect them.\n\nHere’s the main foundation for advancing with impeachment procedures against President Bush, "...must certainly be punishable for giving false information to the Senate. He is to regulate all intercourse with foreign powers, and it is his duty to impart to the Senate every material intelligence he receives. If it should appear that he has not given them full information, but has concealed important intelligence which he ought to have communicated, and by that means induced them to enter into measures injurious to their country, and which they would not have consented to had the true state of things been disclosed to them, -- in this case, I ask whether, upon an impeachment for a misdemeanor upon such an account, the Senate would probably favor him."\n\nThere in no doubt, by his own admission, President Bush gave false information to the Senate about Iraq.\n\nHere’s a complete list of grounds for impeachment which President Bush can most likely be proven to have committed:\n\nBush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq. \nBush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens. \nBush violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes. \nBush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war. \nBush held prisoners without formal charges and without legal representation. \nBush used government funds for domestic political propaganda.\nThe Bush team used uniformed military personnel for Republican party political purposes.\nBush was negligent in his slow response to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. \nBush shows contempt towards our Constitution and our democratic ideals. \n\nThen after the panel concludes their investigation, the results will be presented to the House of Representative for a vote.

I don't know.  I get up every day and ponder the misfortune of our wonderful country at the unmerciful hands of the Bush dynasty and their oldest buffoon. \n\nHe is going to try to block the congress on every turn.\n\nI joined impeachbush.org but no one seems to be doing anything to remove the nutter from office.\n\nI think there will be a revolt in the US at a certain stage because we cannot wait 2 more years with him in office.

Well we kinda do every November.  It's called an election and that's how we decided to structure our electoral process.  There are mechanisms to impeach members of the administration but you'd need to do it in the order of succession.  At this point, it would take too long to get this administration out.  Remember how long the Clinton impeachment took?\n\nPeople here seem to forget that there were actual criminal proceedings against the Clintons.  Bush really hasnt done anything that's illegal.  You might not like his foreign policy, but that dislike probably doesn't extend too far beyond Iraq since that's ALL that's covered by the mainstream media.\n\nHow about what the Bush administration did for the Pakistan refugees after the earthquake?  The approval ratings of Americans skyrocketed after that.

I look at this as a wake up call.\n\nReality is, its possible even in  2 years for the demos to undo many things.\n\nIts possible to actually repeal inheritance tax repeals.\nThey will initiate new taxes as they always have.\n\nThey will continue the spending that Bush was forced into by virtue of 9/11.   (Btw, previous to Bush they were the party of spending).\n\nWe have 2 years of hell to go thru for now.\n\nBtw, Demos were responsible for 35+ years of hell that they put us thru till Reagan got in.\n\nNow we probably have a impeachment coming up.\nOf course, there is no real reason to impeach bush, unlike the lies Clinton spoke in court.

I believe Bush should be impeached immediately. You want to know why I think that? Watch this film on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nAnd then write your congressman and tell him you want Bush impeached! Everyone must do this or it will never happen and he will get away with god-only-knows how many other crimes.\n\n\nPeace

It would restore some of our credibility with the rest of the world to impeach him.  Then they would know America truely repents for being an invading, murdering nation.

It would be political suicide for the dems to defund the war.\n\nThey will have to compromise.  Remember, the new dems tend to be more to the center, not the left.  I think they are already saying they cannot impeach Mr. Bush, and they cannot just "cut n run."\n\nLet's hope they keep their senses about them.

The Democratic plan:\n\n1. Cut and Run from Iraq.\n2.  Raise Taxes.\n3. Impeach Bush.

It's really the only chance to do so...\n\nWithout a Congress that will actually force Bush to follow the law, and impeach him for the criminal violations of federal law he's admitted to, there's nothing to stop him.\n\nAnd it'll be too late in 2 years to stop the downhill spiral into madness.

Yes, our military involvement in Iraq will end, whether it's called a war, police action, or whatnot. At the very least, a president -- likely not the current one -- will simply declare victory, or mission accomplished, and then pull the troops out. Very much like what occurred in Vietnam. But if we settle for this sort of "victory," we may well face dire consequences as a result. \n\nI certainly hope we are able to bring our troops home after they have truly accomplished their mission. Are they very far away from doing that? From the news reports it certainly seems a distant thing.

I would not hold my breath. While it is true that impeachment can be brought with a simple majority in the House which the Democrats have, a 2/3 majority is required to remove a president from office, which they don't have. Republicans will not vote to remove the president. You can count on this, there will be investigations, there will be subpoenas and the end there will be convictions and resignations of lower officials. This is common in these type of affairs as few people can stand up to full Congressional scrutiny in an open ended witch hunt. In the end the investigations will be costly to the American taxpayers and they will be fruitless as far as the intended and desired ends. In short an absolute waste of time and money. You also need to remember that the American public has consistently stated in polls that they are against this type of activity and prefer that the Democrats concentrate on legislation rather than revenge. They should be very careful because this process has the potential to blow up in their faces and cost them dearly in the next election. Mr. Bush cannot stand for office again and Mr. Cheney is not going to run for president.\n\nplanksheer: Nixon committed numerous actions designed to obstruct justice. Some of these actions were very public including the firing of the Special Prosecutor and court actions to protect the tapes. In the end Mr. Nixon resigned because Republicans were not going to support. He would have been impeached and he would have been removed from office. The public was also very against Mr. Nixon. To date no evidence has been presented against Mr. Bush that could even come close to a parallel with Nixon. That could change of course during investigations, but the Nixon comparison is weak at best. You would be better served to look at the result of Iran/Contra as this is closer to what might actually happen.

If he hasnt commited any crimes we cant impeach him. So, no, it wouldnt help. All it would do is make the democrats happy. That doesnt solve anything.

3/4 of the U.S. have to oppose Bush, and you have to have a Congress that would Impeach him. Since the Congress is 100% "RIGHT WINGED" right now at the present, and the Democrats and Independents don't have any vote. It will change in November, just watch. I have seen this with the Ragan/Bush Administration's of the 80's early 90's. His approval ratings are at 33% so it is possible.

America will have no more of the Bush's. Their reign is over. America wants to impeach the one we have now as it is. George Bush and his family have lost all if any credibility. Too many lies...
