While we're at it, we got the Congress...Why not impeach the President and Vice President?

Impeachment is nothing more than an indictment. It does not remove a person from office. It takes a simple majority in the U.S. House to impeach a federal officer (President and Vice President are federal officers). If they are impeached, they will then stand trial in the U.S. Senate, where it takes a 2/3 majority to convict and remove from office. \n\nThe Dems do have enough votes in the House to impeach, but they are no where close enough to the required number of votes to convict in the Senate. They one have 51 seats, and need a minimum of 67 votes.

Impeachment is not possible. Since essentially it is a partisan political process, one really cannot expect to see it when all three branches of government are Republican controlled, (whether you feel it the right thing to do or not.)

I personally think we should have not allowed it to go on this far. He and his henchmen should have been impeached and thrown out of office when we all found out it was not the truth that we went to war to get the bad weapons out of Iraq. This was a blatant lie to the american people and should have been dealt with right then. But we have a wishy washy congress that is afraid to do the right thing for the American people and they should all be voted out in the coming elections

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.

Instead of impeaching them, I'd get more satisfaction at throwing peaches at them. But, I don't see how we can try to impeach Clinton because he lied about his personal life (something the press should've never gotten into), but impeachment is impossible for a man who is ruining the country. What a place!

It's pretty clear that the president has done some illegal things, such as the warrantless wiretapping.  But only the congress can impeach the president, and as long as the majority of congress are Republicans, they are unlikely to do this.\n\nSo the only realistic way to get him impeached is to elect a majority of Democrats to congress in the fall 2006 election.

First of all, Congress is bicameral legislature, we also have the House of Representives.  They have plenty of duties. Some of the more basic ones are to set up commitites to investigate situations.  They vote on bills, can declare war, and can impeach the president. There's about 20 more duties they have.

They didn't get what they want.  What the US got is a conservative democratic Congress, and Pelosi.\n\nThey want impeachment of our President.  They will not shut up until Pelosi and others flip-flop and give it to them.  \n\nThey care nothing about our nation, they want only revenge.

If he hasnt commited any crimes we cant impeach him. So, no, it wouldnt help. All it would do is make the democrats happy. That doesnt solve anything.

The current Congress will not impeach Bush, however, with the midterm elections this fall, we may have a whole new power structure in Washington come 2007.  The Republicans will probably lose their majority in the House and Senate this year and then the Democrats will have the ability to start the long impeachment process.\n\nIt’s very probable that the President did break the law in respect to this recent wiretapping fiasco, maybe so egregiously that he will be removed from office, but this raises another problem.\n\nDick Cheney.\n\nDoes anyone out there think the Democrats want to put Dick Cheney into the White House where he could run as an incumbent in 2008 if he decides he does enjoy being President after all?  On a number of occasions, the V.P. has said that he doesn’t want to be the Commander in Chief, but do the Democrats really want to risk that?\n\n\nOn top of that, the country is developing a dangerous trend of impeaching or recalling our elected officials when we do not like them.  One must look at Italy, California and much of South and Central America to realize that this is not a path that the Federal government should walk.\n\nNo one has a crystal ball here, but the end result of an impeachment is probably going to be worse than sticking out a few more years with our current President.

Let's see...why should Bush be impeached? He lied in office...just like Clinton just about different things. He also swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and had his rubber stamp Republican congress pass laws that basically ignore the law of the land. Spin it anyway you want...Bush should be impeached for his conduct as president...which has been anything but "Presidential".

Too late kids. It amazes me how so many people are clueless to how impeachment works. There's not enough time to impeach Bush plus he hasn't done anything you can impeach him for.\n\nDon't give me some whiney hack rhetoric about "starting an illegal war". The Gulf War that started in 1991 legally speaking never ended. Saddam signed a cease fire agreement UNSCR 657 and in short order violated it. Under cease fire terms the nations are still at war they just aren't fighting. Saddam also violated UN Charter 51 by authorizing assassination attempts on US diplomats and on former President Bush. You'd have a hard time making a case based on that because by right the US could have invaded Iraq at anytime. Saddam has only himself to blame.\n\nCongress gave Bush approval for war even if the evidence had been tainted Bush could just invoke UN Charters and security council resolutions plus the fact we were already at war with Iraq. Bush is not as stupid as you would like him to be the only thing they can get him for would be falsefying a document submitted to Congress.\n\nWiretapping?? So? There were already wiretap laws in effect approved in the 70's the new laws approved by congress just shortened the time frame and remember these were not domestic calls they were international. A call from Syria to the US is not a domestic call. \n\nIt took Kenneth Starr 5 years to impeach Clinton for perjury...let me repeat that. Clinton was NOT impeached for having oral sex he was impeached for perjury and even though he was impeached he was not evicted. \n\nThe numbers aren't there. You need 2/3rd majority to impeach Bush and remove him from office and the numbers just aren't there. The democrats have a tiny majority and not all of them are willing to impeach.\n\nBush will not be impeached so put it out of your mind hippies have been calling for it since he won back in 2000 and 6 years later he's still here until 2008 when his term ends and John McCain becomes the next president.

No, i think the fear of having Cheney as president would keep anyone from looking for a reason to impeach Bush......plus we have more pressing matters to attend to... weather or not bush screwed up is for historians ... right now we need to fix what is broken and move on.
