Should President Bush be Impeached and why?  Please be specific.?

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?

Yes, I do have to agree many of these polls aren't ran fairly in respect for the Republicans.\nAlthough I don't think he should be impeached. Just so we can watch him attempt to fix what he's done.\nBut remember Rumsfield was fired to take the blame for the war. Now people are going after Cheney. After he's gone all that's left is Bush. And then I think he'll be a lot closer to being impeached.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I totally agree with you but he would have to lie under oath to be impeached for his fish story. Here's a bigger reason: He swore to defend, protect and uphold the constitution but he is violating our constitutional right to privacy by tapping our phones. That's only the tip of the ice berg. This administration is the worst in American history.

No, but he should be impeached and incarcerated.

Yes, I would protest the action for several reason:\n1.  You may not like his politics or think he's a fool, but he has not broken any laws.\n2.  To unseat a president shows America as weak, leaderless and vulnerable to other nations.\n3.  To impeach Bush would be to leave Cheney in charge ... (think about it ..)

For the charges that were brought against him? No, absolutely not.  Impeachment is the most serious of procedures against a President and represent a Constitutional crisis.  I believe only in very extreme measures would this be applicable, like leading a country into war based on intentional mis-information, disregarding the constitution and misuse of public funds.

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 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!

9 months . .bush . .hopefully impeached.

he can be impeached for high crimes and mistemeaners. So there would have to be a specific charge.  If he was given erroneous information and he thought it to be true, then it is not a lie.

Bush never worked with his own party so I don't think his brain is going to adjust. He will maintain his "stay the course" attitude and veto everything the Dem's try. I think he should be impeached but the next to go will be Denis Hastert when the page porn investigation is completed.
