I don't know, only bush's cabinet can tell you that. Only I think that they want bush to clear up the mess in which he started in Iraq or most likely leave the British to finish off. I think it is just another Vietnam where they get in a mess, leave in a hurry and no-one gets put on trial. I also think when coalition troops do pull finaly out iraq, I think bush go on trial for War Crimes.

You people kill me with such nonsense! Inpeached for what? Iraq? He got congressional approval beforehand. Presidents don't get impeached because supporters start to go soft and wane in their support. Name one impeachable offense!

Like most people have said, he was impeached for lying under oath, but was also for obstruction of justice. Many people think impeachment means removal from office, but it does not. Impeachment is when accusations are drawn up (by the House of Representatives) for wrongdoing (in this case, perjury and obstruction of justice). The president is then tried in the Senate. In Clinton's case, the Senate voted not to convict him, so he stayed in office. He was impeached, but not removed from office.

I say Pres. Bush needs to be impeached and sent to the country he seems to be loyal to. How did you like the s.s. identity theft being forgiven. Identity theft is a felony.

True, Bush has not committed any crimes. Libs are steaming mad that they have been out of power so long. They're also mad that Bush accomplished what they wanted to do but did not: topple Saddam.

because Bush is a liar, a cheat, and he has enough rich powerful people backing him that he bought his way into office; TWICE! He has made enough rich people richer that he keeps getting away with such atrocities as opening up our roadless forests to mining and gas companies, giving away huge tax breaks to the Oil Industry giants, giving tax breaks to companies who move their base of operations out of the U.S. so hundreds of thousands of people lose their good paying jobs, close friends and working with top CEO's of Enron to give them tax breaks and let Enron run Pennsylvania's energy industry before that flopped, to lying to americans and congress about Iraq, war profiteering and the list just goes on and on. Does anyone wonder why Clinton was impeached for lying about sex? And no one questions why Bush has NOT been impeached for war crimes and illegaly wiretapping americans without a warrant? Hmm let's try to figure out which is more serious: sex or war? BIG difference! Please visit the sites below to find out more information and ways on how you can make a difference on removing the Bush Regime! It's time we remove this blood & oil thirsty dictator!

We are all sorry, but G.W. Bush has not lost his authority.\n\nHe is celebrating the fact that he WAS NOT elected President either time, and he still hasn't got impeached yet.\n \nHe will not his authority until Kenneth Starr or whoever has his job now gets him impeached,\nthere’s still time.\n\nIf they held him to the same standard as past Presidents,\nthey would have done it already.\n\nI mean Clinton only had sex.\n\nBush has committed many impeachable acts.\nSuch as starting a war without the UN.

I don't think waiting it out is the best path to take...If Bush did something illegal, something to deserve impeachment he should be punished. Perhaps his problem is that he's been getting away with things for far too long. Our leaders need to be held accountable.

Democratic leaders aren't so immature and petty as to go around impeaching everyone they don't like.  Unlike Republican leaders who impeached a president for his lying about his sex life, Democrats are able to behave in a mature and responsible fashion and realize that impeaching a president for a couple minor infractions like forging evidence to starting a war and ordering illegal wiretaps on US citizens won't accomplish anything.\n\nI, however, am not as mature as many of our political leaders and think it would be really freaking cool if Bush were impeached.  However, if he were removed from office we'd be left with Cheney.  This would be unfortunate in that we'd have all the same policy without Bush's highly entertaining abuse of the English language.\n\nOh, and just to clarify, Clinton was impeached.  Impeachment does not refer to removal from office, but rather the initation of a hearing to determine if removal is necessary.

I'm glad that the Supreme Court has finally woke up.  They couldn't remain blind much longer.  If Clinton was impeached for sexual indiscretions, then Congress should feel that Bush's behavior has exceeded anything that Clinton was accused of.  He needs to be removed so he cannot keep plunging our world into chaos.

Bush is fighting to protect this country.\n\nClinton was fighting to protect his reputation.\n\nThese posters below me...wow. Clinton was impeached over perjury, not over a 'personal' matter. Bush obviously doesn't act like he runs this place or we'd be in Iran and North Korea.

Because he lied under oath, which is a FEDERAL CRIME.  If you intentionally lie under oath, no matter how slight, it is a federal offence, and an impeachable crime.\n\nthere seems to be some mis-understandings of what impeachment is.  Impeachment determines whether you will or won't be removed from office.  Clinton was impeached, but not removed from office.  It's a common misconception.

First the president would have to committ a crime, as he can only be tried by the senate (the house draws the articles).  There's no precedent for a coup without fault.  As many people would like to think, Bush has broken no laws.  Lying isn't against the law, unless it's under oath, and he never was.  Deal with it.  If he breaks the law, then we'll talk

Unlike his libidinous predecessor, President Bush has committed neither high crime nor misdemeanor.  The fact that the Dems don't like him is not an impeachable offense.
