If Bush were convicted of a felonious Federal Offense, as commander in chief would he go to Levenworth?

No, just as Nixon was, the next president would pardon him.

Actually a person can only be charged with treason during war time, which requires an act of Congress. Offically we are not at war right now, the last war as approved by Congress was WW2. So he would obviously be removed from office, and if found out he leaked secrets then he would be placed in prison.

The only place Bush will stand trial is in the court of public opinion. \n\nDon't worry, soon Congress will start senate and house investigations of the dealings of the white house during the past six years. Possible impeachment and removal will follow. He could stand trial for any accusations afterward unless given a pardon like Tricky Dick Nixon was given.

Bush should be tried for crimes against the English language.

Yes, of course he has broken the law.  Regardless of his representations to the contrary, there is no such authorization in the Constitution, in case law, or in the statutes or regulations.  His behavior is impermissible and he should most definitely be impeached for illegal wiretapping and, if found guilty, be removed from his office in disgrace.

Rumsfeld is an absolute CRIMINAL. He should be relieved of duty, along with that W guy. The rich guy from Wyoming needs to go, too...

The Constitution says, "high crimes or misdemeanors". But, basically, if he does something slightly wrong and Congress is against him, he can get impeached (like Clinton). Conversely, if he's commited several high crimes but Congress is with him, he won't be (like now).

Maybe if he invaded the wrong country instead of continueing to go after the man that attacked us... oh wait, he did that...\nMaybe if he tried to give our ports away to a country that was linked to 9-11 in the 9-11 report... oh wait he did that...\nMaybe if he nominated someone completely incompetent to the Supreme court, like Harriet Meyers... wait he did that...\n\nhahaha... I don't know... \nMaybe if he got head in the White House... the unpardonable sin

He has a better organized military and is using it for evil. He needs to be impeached even though it won't happen because of the majority in the senate. Then he needs to be arrested and tried in a world court for the crimes that he has commited.

An amusing thought but I think the truth is far more sinister. This is GOP hubris at its zenith. They think they're literally above the law and can do as they please. The vile bush administration is beyond corrupt; they're evil, arrogant and mad with power. Notwithstanding an almost nonexistent brain, bush thinks himself a god who can do no wrong and who needn't follow his own bloody rules (this leak issue being the latest such example). It's a disgrace, just as it was a national disgrace that these hateful people were ever put in power in the first place. The damage they've inflicted upon this country will endure for more years than I care to count. Impeachment would be the very least punishment he and his criminal cohorts warrant. I'd be satisfied with nothing short of long-term imprisonment, which of course means I'll not be satisfied at all. None of these scoundrels will ever be properly punished, bush least of all. It's a joke.

Vanman8u's answer is case in point:  Bush is de facto guilty (no stated crime, no defense) but due process for terrorists.\n\nWhat a country.

ahhhh HA HA HA HA HA.... He is a perfect example of what not to do while in the white house. Maybe he should be sent to Iraq, since he can almost kill a man without any jail time!

Shame on you Fire God!  Condemning a man for hypocrisy and wrongdoing based on innuendo.  What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?  Stepping down from his position is NOT an admission of guilt -- it's an acknowledgment that he realizes he won't be an effective leader until this matter is properly investigated.\n\nTo answer the question:  It has absolutely nothing to do with this election.  The liberals are grasping at every straw they can get their hands on to make conservatives look bad.

He faces both Kansas felony charges and Federal charges.  Chances are he will be indicted on a charge of transportation of marijuana accross state lines, because the federal charges carry a much stiffer sentence, and the federal system doesn't use parole.  However, its a felony at either level.

If he is found guilty, Bush will just parden him. Just remember when he does that birds of a feather fly together.

No reason.. He should. But as we all know, he won't. Too bad for that scooter libby person for being the fall guy. Although he wasnt a saint either. Every Bush supporter should have to go to Iraq and fight his BS war for him.

It's a federal crime so all you would be guilty of is stupidity.
