US war can he/she be removed from office/impeached to help US troops (who can do nothing to protest a faulty commander in chief)?

Let's say that one day the president opened a broadcast to the entire world, with the message that earth has been contacted by a race of intelligent life from outer space and they offer us benefits such as these:
1.) cheap, clean abundant energy
2.) an answer to disease, poverty, and hunger
3.) access to medicine, science, technology, transportation, etc. thousands of years beyond our current levels
4.) the protection of a far-reaching military that is unaffected by the politics of earth
5.) an education that has the benefit of millions of combined years of experience from intelligent civilizations across the galaxy

sounds good so far. but here is the catch: in order to receive these benefits we must accept the following conditions:

When folks discuss it, they talk about the deaths of soldiers and their intrusion into our private lives. "The Price of Freedom" as they put it, it the price we all have to pay for our liberty..........and in this case, it means giving up our liberty. It is nuts!!

The real "Price of Freedom" is the price we have to pay for living in a truly free society in terms of the risks that means we have to be willing to endure. The "Price of Freedom" means that we have to accept the risks that are out there in our society and that even if government intrusion might lessen those risks, we reject it because GOVERNMENT INTRUSION LIMITS OUR FREEDOM. "The Price of Freedom" is the risk that we all assume walking into the shopping mall, knowing that someone could walk in with a bomb and kill us.....Sure there are steps that the government could take to lessen the risk, but EACH STEP THE GOVERNMENT TAKES INTO INTO OUR LIVES LIMITS OUR FREEDOM.
Let's take freedom back!
(Ok, I admit, not a question)

Is there anything the government does today that is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution?

And why does Yahoo Answers keep removing this question???? I've asked this question twice before, and it was removed both times! I just want to know if anyone has a credible source for whether the 2007 US Congress received their automatic pay raise or not. There was some talk by Democrat leaders that they would block it, but I haven't seen anything in the news since they actually took power. Did the Congress get the raise or not???

Or is just still suffering from shell shock? It has to really scar someone deeply to be put into a prisoner of war camp. Should the U.S. really be giving serious consideration to the thoughts from someone who has so many issues to deal with?

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said proponents of the nonbinding, bipartisan resolution were undermining national security. "This is a vote of no confidence in both the mission and the troops,"

.....June 1967, USS Forrestal: a Zuni rocket fired from an F-4 Phantom II piloted by Lt. Cmdr. John McCain,hit an A-4 Skyhawk getting ready to launch. The missile struck and knocked off the A-4's fuel tank and started a fire. With his aircraft surrounded by flames, John McCain escaped from his jet by climbing out of the cockpit, walking down the nose, and jumping off the refueling probe. Nine major explosions on the flight deck occurred. The fire left 132 Forrestal crewmen dead, 62 more injured, 2 MIA.

Are they scared another country will do the same, invade countries for no reason, Use the fact that We have the biggest weapon so do as you are told, just as the USA does now. What gives the USA the right to do as they please? Don't tell me that you’re the best and safest Nation and the only Nation that knows how to handle weapons. If the USA wasn't a school bully other countries would leave you alone. How many Killings and Bombings have the USA government order over the years? We will never know the truth will we?

Had the Republican Party not been hijacked by by NEOCONS, maybe things would have turned out differently. ISThe Reagon Revolution is over? They have only themselves to blame for letting this happen.

Obama and Clinton In a race for the first Black man or the first White woman How can you choose....I like them both...
Can I have two votes...I know I cant but I am torn between the two.
I am a woman and I would like to see a woman in office
I am black and I would like to see a black man have a chance...
If we could get Rice we would have both bases covered
What do you think....Shake It Up

Raising taxes on the rich has never been proven to do anything except reduce the national Tax revenue and stifle investment and drive corporations and the jobs they provide to other countries, Even Bill Clinton understood this. So why is the idea still so popular among liberals?

This makes no sense to me what so ever. It's funny that the people who complain about the rich enjoy buying all the crap they make!

It's like African American rappers complaining about the white man bringing them down, but yet rap about diamonds and gold... A trade owned by the white man.

Jealousy and envy coming from my enemies.

what are you going to do? Bush in his speech said he is going to create jobs for that? The same crap as they started in Berlin with Hitler? Counting on ignorant people that denied the holocaust and that never studied history and don't play chess? Do you think?
Where are your loyalties? When they start taking your neighbors away ? and old people disappear? What will you do ? the same as the Germans did? Not care and just take take take, hate hate hate because you are in need of a house? Or you need health care?
Who will you blame? We can't blame the War on Drugs anymore ( the old man Bush) to get the money Great tactic on bull crap that was to fill his pockets for the election money for the republican money to fund his son's election huh? So who will they blame next? Will you shoot people or will you protest? What about the illegals are they going to join too? Or are they being gathered here for the internal force for the New World Order like Reagan an Bush planned?

If you read the article, you'll find a quote in it that reads:

Last year, the Japan Adoring Husbands Association set itself up and designated Jan. 31 as a day for men to return home at the unusually early hour of 8 p.m., look into their wives' eyes, and say, "Thank you."

Does this government want to make us work until midnight every night, slaving to pay them so they can then take our children, throw them into battle and risk death, also known as "The Easy Way Out?"

no mean to copy, but i saw this question posted regarding bush and i wonder how many people can answer it when applying it to our previous president.

And please, no "making the world safer" or "War on Terror" crap.

note: i am not trying to argue just reposting the question with a different president's name. Any condescending or mean tone, is simply copied from the original poster.
