Why hasn't George Bush been impeached? Is it because Americans are too lazy and self absorbed to do anything?

i was reading through the other answers and... Americans could probably get him impeached. i mean, isnt that what the whole separation of powers--legislative, judicial, executive--is about? not letting one branch get too powerful? there has to be a way hidden somewhere in the constitution... i'll get back to you on it.

It would be hard to impeach Bush because it would have to be approved by the House and the Senate. The majority of congressmen in office are on the Right. This is sort of the same reason why Clinton wasn't impeached. Bush has done an exponential amount of damage compared to Clinton and anyone who says that it was passed on from Clinton must not have seen the U.S. budget over the past 40 yrs.

I don't want Bush impeached.  The only reason I don't want Bush impeached is because if he were impeached, we'd be stuck with his vice president CHENEY.  Cheney is like the evil puppet master behind Bush, he's even worse!

Yes. Bush and Cheney should be impeached for the following reasons:\n\nTen Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney\nI ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:\n\n1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.\n\n2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.\n\n3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.\n\n4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.\n\n5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.\n\n6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.\n\n7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.\n\n8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.\n\n9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.\n\n10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.\n\nThis is not a matter of impeachment because one does not like him, it is a matter of him committing crimes and he and cheney should be impeached for their illegal offenses. \n\nPresident Clinton was impeached by the repubs for something that was not even a misdeminor. \n\nThere are major movements now underway that will insure he and cheney will be impeached this spring, so rest assured, he and cheney will be paying the price for their actions. \n\nAnother person said cheney would be next in line, no he is going also, so Nancy Pelosi will be next in line for President as speaker of the house. Then listen to the repubs whine. \n\nHappy Thanksgiving, \n\nDarryl S.

Most Americans do NOT like George Bush!  Most didn't even VOTE for him!  He's crooked and he doesn't care about anybody who isn't filthy rich like he is.\n\nThere are plenty of things wrong with America, you just don't know.

Well I agree that the ballot box is the answer...however well written letters to Senators, Congressmen, and other political figures asking for impeachment on the grounds of blatant lyiing to the public would be good.  Problem is that people have bought into the whitewash job his adminsitration has done on the Iraq war and don't believe he lied.  That's why there are so few of us that realize Bush is nuts and his governance of us is seriously flawed and write to say so, but are told we're unpatriotic and that we'er unsupportive.  I have to be unsupportive when I don't agree with what is going on so does that make me unpartirotic?  What ever happened to the freedom to respectfully question authority/government?

President Bush has had more to deal with than most other Presidents. I think he has made mistakes but it has been a tough 6 years. I don't think any politician would have done well in this Presidency. I don't think any politician can run our country.I think the people who are capable of leading this country aren't even in politics. They are too smart to even want to be involved with the spectacle that we call a government.

No, he should not be impeached, he has done nothing that is illegal.  Too bad he has so many fairweather fans, everyone loved him after 9/11, and now....have people forgotten?  \n\nDon't forget that our brave men and women in the armed services are there by choice, not by any type of draft, and to sit home on your computer and whine about what is going on over there is an insult to them all.  It will be interesting to see how Bush is written about in the history books, everyone will probably love him in ten years when we see the good he has done...\n\nI get so tired of all the answers taken directly from "the daily show".....come on people, it's on Comedy Central, and bills itself as the fake news..   Read a paper.\n\n\nand p.s. to the people out there trying to make ends "meat"....maybe if you worked harder and educated yourself, you would be one of the "rich" people.  I certainly am not, working single mom (hate that term), and also going to school---not living off of the government, not expecting a handout...willing to work for what I have.  And you can bet that when I am done and making more money, and paying more income tax, I will deserve a bigger tax break.  It's only fair, right?

The same reason he hasn't been impeached for other transgressions that were clearly questionable. Nixon was impeached for far less than Bush .I hope they do something soon before he runs our country totally in the ground.

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.

All of the above, maybe Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, or Dick Cheney, Vice president of the United States, he and Scooter could share a jail cell for treacherousness, Kenny Boy and Bush's brain could share another beside them, \nshame on them all, for betrayal of their country and shame on George W. Bush for putting his corrupt cronies in positions of power. He is so incompetent, he should be impeached for the sake of all American citizens, and especially our veterans.

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.

If you look at all of the polls that the news media have conducted, the answer is that most Americans think that the administration is a joke.  I'm one of those people.  I don't believe that Bush will be considered as a "great president", not even a good one.  Both parties are trying to rally for the mid-term elections which means blowing smoke, as if they have ever really worked. So, on the whole, I would say that Americans are very unsatisfied with our current administration. By the way, if you want a real outlook on how Americans feel, check out Democracy Now! (the exclaimation is actually in the title, I'm not shouting)

Of course George Bush should be impeached. Richard Nixon ans Bill Clinton were impeached for a whole lot less then this criminal Bush. This man has a laundry list of corruption. Look how his true self is coming out on the news about Donald Rumsfeld, Bush is a psycho.

First off thank you very much for telling the truth on here.  Bush is a great president and there is no reason to impeach him.  Liberals are so unhappy that there is no decent liberal cadidate for president they have to rip apart ours in any way possible, sad huh.  It is worth it for the libs to lie about our country so it looks bad making our president look bad, pathetic.
