Watch the Texas law suit close. If Demos win yes, he will be impeached. If Republicans win or pay off the judge no, he will not be impeached. He could still face trial over the leak of a CIA agents name. He will never see prison, even for treason which it was in fact. I see you read.\nHisbushyness just put out the propaganda that reports of the planing of a nuke attack on Iran were "wild Speculation" so now we know it's the truth since Hisbushyness always lies.

LETS IMPEACH BUSH!!\n\n\n\n(Even though he's done nothing to be impeached for)

If the Democrats impeached Bush, it would likely result in a backlash against them and I'm sure they hope they keep Congress and gain the presidency in the next election.  The Democrats have insisted that, while they plan to investigate much of why we went to war and what has been going on with it, they have no plans to impeach the president.  \n\nNow if it turned out that Bush had truely committed some very horrible or deceitful act (such as masterminding 9/11 - which I do NOT believe he did, this is purely an example), I imagine the public would be very galvanized to have him impeached and the Democrats would probably do it.  But even a large number of Republicans in Congress stated that if Bush lied about why we went to war in Iraq, even they would vote to impeach him.\n\nConsidering the relationship of Bush and Cheney, if some scenario as above were true, it would probably be a repeat of what happened to Agnew and Nixon in Watergate.

Bush needs to be impeached.  We can impeach a president for lying about extra martial affairs (and what man WON'T lie about that) but we don't impeach a president who authorizes the illegal wire taps of AMERICAN CITIZENS under the guise of finding terrorists?  He needs to go!  And don't even get me started on our borders!

Because only Congress can impeach the president. And since congress just happens to be controlled by Bush's republican buddies, there aint a snowballs chance in hell of his getting impeached any time soon. Hes probably going to get away with all the lies and killing... Its depressing really.\n\n\npeace

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?

Even if someone actually wrote a petition that would attempt to solve our nation's leadership problem by getting rid of Bush, presidents are removed from office through steps taken by Congress in the actual impeachment process. The answer is no.

First, to answer your question, yes!!!!!!!\n\nNow for the poster that said Clinton was impeached.  He was not.  It was never even put on the Senate floor, it was only a show of force in the Congress.\n\nAs for Bush, he can lie, steal, cheat and do whatever he wants.  The republicans are too scared of him to even censure him.  But just wait until the next Democrat takes office.  They will be investigated if they use toilet tissue instead of a Kleenex to blow their nose.  Lets see, what kind of charge could that be?  Improper usage of government property?  God help this country!!

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.

I keep hoping that the American people with get fed up with Bush and his cronies and charge them with impeachable offenses.  Might just happen after tomorrow.

Yes without delay.  The list of his crimes against the world and the US is more than long enough to be impeached and tried in the World Court.  It probably won't happen as it has to be weighed against the instability it will cause here and abroad.  The scandal would be incredibly disruptive.  And, in this country, we would rather cover up and keep the public misinformed as we don't seem to have any respect for the intelligence of the public.  Keep them in the dark has been the mantra, even long before JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, etc.

President Bush has not been impeached because his party controls the branch of government that does the impeaching. That is the answer, and it is exactly that simple.\n\nIntelligent people on both sides of the aisle can debate whether or not the president should be impeached, but the people whose opinions matter are in congress. \n\nA president would have to act in a significantly egregious manner before his own political party would participate in his impeachment. Even then, an impeachment is unlikely.\n\nThe Bill Clinton impeachment is an accurate and recent example of the process. A Democratic party controlled House of Representatives would never have impeached him, but a Republican House did. The Democrats did have enough members in the Senate to block Clinton's removal, so that is what happened.\n\nWho was correct? The answer is not particularly relevant to this question. The fact that both sides tend to stick to the party line is the main relevant factor.\n\nIf the Democrats gained control of the House in the 2006 elections, an impeachment attempt would be highly likely.

No, just because it is not logistically sound. Only the U.S. House can impeach a President, and there are enough votes there for it. But that does not remove him from office. He would then stand trial in the Senate, where a 2/3 majority vote would be needed to remove Bush from office. There are not enough votes in the Senate for that. Therefore, it would just be a waste of time for the Congress, and a waste of taxpayer money.

No.  Besides, a petition won't get a president impeached.  It takes an act of the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach a president, then the U.S. Senate has to convict for the president to actually lose his job.\n\nWe'll see how successful your petition is!

Only the US House of Representatives can impeach the President. The Republicans hold a majority in the House, so it's not very likely.

He won't be impeached.  There is really no point in attempting to do so, it would only cost America money we don't have.  I believe there are valid reasons for impeachment but at this time I think it is more important for Congress to deal with more important issues like the war in Iraq and the economy.

See, that's what I'm saying.  Clinton was nearly impeached for getting head, and Bush has done so so so much worse.  I wish he could get impeached.  We should find out how to get it started!
