I doubt that he will, i wish he would he deserves to for leading us into this illegal war and also for telling us that " All combat operations are over" a few years ago.

Yes, he lied about the reasons to go into war which has caused the deaths of people he is sworn to protect. If Clinton could be impeached for lying about his private sex life, then Bush can be impeached for some far more sinister.

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

To the person who a said about all presidents spy. That is true but its done with approval from congress and judges. Anyway I think most of america wants this idiot impeached! This is a poll from msnbc!\n\nLive Vote  \n Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?   * 59791 responses  \n \n \n Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.\n87%  \n \n No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."\n4%  \n \n No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.\n8%  \n \n I don't know.\n1%

Well, there are a few variables that would need to come into play if that were to happen.\nFirst of all, YES, HE DID LIE UNDER OATH:  the oath he took when "sworn in" as president.. so, I don't want any more comparisons to "Clinton lied, bush didn't".. bacause, again bush has lied to all of us!\nHowever, in order for this (UGH) president to be impeached, we will have to have a democratic (or liberal) congress.  If this does finally take place in November, the boy may be impeached, after all!\nMe; I'm all for it!  \nAnd, by the way:  Nixon was impeached during Viet Nam.. so, yes;  we can impeach him even though we are at war!  Of course, the boy did say the war was over about 3 years ago.. hmmm... rmeember the whole "Mission Accomplished" fiasco?

I think it is a combination of many factors.  I've heard more than one person express that since experiencing Bush's Presidency they realize how good we had it under Clinton.  Also, it's sort of a wake up call when you compare what Clinton was impeached for and what Bush should be impeached for.  I don't want to see impeachment, it is a waste of time for all involved, but I do think he richly deserves it nonetheless.  People do tend to look back with fondness at some Presidents and Americans can very forgiving, depending on the circumstance and the subject.  Bill Clinton has done some great things since his Presidency ended and he stays in the public limelight.  Seeing him standing next to Bush 41 while they work together affects those ratings too.  I think we long for those in power right now to do the same.  I don't think GW should be looking for forgiveness in the future though.  I believe whether it's 10 years or 50 years after his Presidency, he will still have one of the lowest approval ratings ever recorded.

I believe Bush should be impeached immediately. You want to know why I think that? Watch this film on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nAnd then write your congressman and tell him you want Bush impeached! Everyone must do this or it will never happen and he will get away with god-only-knows how many other crimes.\n\n\nPeace

Actually, you may not have to wait, with about 1/2 of the Republicans against George W. Bush now,     1ST Stage: the House of representatives can vote to impeach, "articles of impeachment", 2ND Stage: the Senate actually tries the case, with a two-thirds vote required for conviction.\nThe Vice President can be impeached as well. \nBill Clinton was impeached, but not convicted.

Don't insult chimps!  Alas, our totalitarian president will not be impeached, as the Democrats are too afraid of disrupting the country despite the fact that Bush broke the law, admitted it and is proud of it.  (If we need totalitarian tools like warrantless wiretaps to fight terrorists, then the terrorists have succeeded in destroying the United States of America.)\n\nHowever, it is important that any impeachment proceedings include the equally evil Dick Cheney.  Bush is bad enough!

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.

Technically, yes, but it's doubtful it will happen. Even if the Democrats got a huge majority in the 2006 elections and decided to start the impeachment process, someone would suddenly remember that this would make Dick Cheney the new President and they'd drop the issue immediatly.

Unfortunately, I seriously doubt it. After all, there is still a Republican majority in both houses of Congress, so he's not going to be impeached anytime soon. And I hate to say this, but even if the Democrats were to win back both houses of Congress this year, I doubt they would have the balls to impeach him. \n\nAlso, since he is the leader of the United States, and not some Third World country, it's not as if he would ever be tried in an international court, like the one at the Hague.

i don't think it will happen.  after all, he's destroyed our public image, bankrupted our country, broken international law, broken american law, spied on american citizens illegally, made secret contracts with major corporations, eliminated many civil rights and liberties, made a fool of our country on numerous occasions, hired people to do fake news reports to make him look good, allowed a natural disaster to turn into an embarrassing chaos, hired incompetent people repeatedly, and lied hundreds of times to the american people.\nif we let him do all this, will we draw the line at anything?  maybe if he got a blowjob from an intern, people would finally get upset.\n\nif you're interested, there's a major movement to impeach bush going on right now.  sign up here:  (also includes a list of all the legal reasons to impeach him)

Yes. I guess so but it would never work because Bush would have to be charged with a felony or general incompetence. I would be struck down not only by Republicans but also by the Democrats. Only two presidents have ever been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton

When a president is elected, they hold the office for 4 years. Even if a majority of the population decides they don't like him, after all, he can't be removed unless he's impeached by the legislative branch of our government.\nHe has to have committed what they deem to be an impeachable offense.\nThen he still may retain the office if not convicted for the offense.\nSo, no, we the people, cannot get rid of Bush.\nAs far as the vote goes, Bush "won" with only a 2-3% majority, and a lot of people here dispute the accuracy of that. There are a lot of people who believe that the election was "rigged" in various ways to ensure that slight majority.

I am a Democrat, and America is totally aware of how the Republicans come across in the World. Over 70% of America doesn't support them, and Congress gets voted in November of this year. The Republicans are going to be history, gone. George Bush could be indicted if the Congress is the Majority Democrat, and then impeached. I hope the World knows that America has more then one political party and will forgive us for what the Republicans have done in the last 6 years.

I think it's all relative to perception.  Just the suggestion of impeaching President Bush has been suggested even before he got in office so that is nothing new.  Most people know you cannot impeach without just cause but, anger unchecked doesn't care about process.  They are going for the mob mentality.  This is the idea that just the suggestion of impeachment by enough influential people can bring it about.
