The Left does not have the Votes to Remove the President. That number is 67. Impeachment can happen with a working Majority of 219.I helped impeach Clinton I also knew the votes were not there to remove. Hilary's own words were used to impeach her husband. Kinda cool considering she was talking about Nixon at the time. The People center and right will not support impeachment now. The Left screams but is not getting traction. An election is around the corner and if The House remains Republican Your question will be moot.

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 is easy, in America his term will come to an end and he will be forgotten, he will take his graft money and fade into the woodwork. The damage that he has done to America and its people will never be forgotten. I do not look for another repuglican president for a long, long time.

Impeachment is reserved for 'high crimes and misdemeanors'. Incompetence doesn't qualify - if it did, half of the government would be gone.

Living life in America allows me to know the difference. George Bush is the decider, and he has decided to ruin America.

Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:\n\n1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N.

Unfortunately, since both houses of the legislature are controlled by Republicans, the liklihood of President Bush being impeached is virtually nil.\n\nIn order for him to be impeached, the House of Representatives would need to file articles of impeachment, which are passed by a simple majority. In order for this to occur, some Republican representatives would have to cross the aisle and vote with the Democratic minority. In the remote chance that this would happen, the case would be forwarded to the Senate for trial.\n\nOnce in the Senate, two thirds of the present Senators would be required. Once again, since the Republicans control this part of the House, the liklihood of an actual impeachment occuring is remote at best.\n\nAnd on another note, punishment is determined by the Senate. They can choose to remove him from office, or do nothing should he be impeached. Again, the odds of anything happening are slim and none.\n\nWhile it's nice to dream, we're going to have to wait for President Bush to leave office in eary 2009, unless the political landscape shifts drastically between now and then.\n\nRead the Wiki below for more info.

I will be happier. Definitely. Safer? No. Because of the Bush legacy it will take a long time to show the world that Americans are good people again. Bush's war mongering has caused hatred all over the world and formed a new breed of Anti-American terrorists. Any new president, Republican or Democrat, will have to have unbelievable diplomatic skills to undo what Bush has done.

Yes! Under this Administration it is worse than the KGB. When is America going to wake up and demand accountability from George W. Bush, for his abuse of his office and the power bestowed upon him? We impeached Nixon for much less than this. How long are we going to sit back and take this kind of corruption?

Why would you want to waste taxpayer money doing this? Yes, once the Dems take office in January, there will be enough votes in the U.S. House for impeachment, but to impeach a President (or any federal officer) is only to bring charges against them. It is like an indictment in criminal court. It does not remove the President from office. They then stand trial in the U.S. Senate, where a 2/3 majority is needed to convict and remove him from office. The Dems do not have the votes needed for that. \n\nI will be writing my newly elected Congressman and telling him NOT to pursue impeachment against Bush because the money can be used elsewhere (like healthcare).

You bet I would!  Bush should be impeached and tried as a war criminal along with most of his cabinet.He comes from old bluebood money.  Barabara Bush's Great great great grandfather was President Pierce who supported slavery. Of course Bush's dad and grandfather were politicians. MOst of the BUsh boys have been in some sort of trouble.  I.e Neil and the Savings and loan scandel\n\nThe Bush family is raping this country and when its over we will be left at the mercy of Christian Fundamentlaist(so called, most just angry white men with docile housewives) Then watch out.  All of our liberties that are slowly being wiped out will be used against us and forums like this will exist no longer. Sorry I'm just really angry that people aren't doing anything to stop Bush.

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.

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.

Sounds like America would be better off without you.

Nixon had to be impeached before he would resign, I don't think George Bush will do anything any different as a sociopath like Richard Nixon was.
