Impeachment?

Question

If the Republicans tried to I mpeach Bill Clinton for getting his knob polished. Then why isn't G.W Bush being Impeached for Not doing anything about Gas Prices? Is it because he owns stock in oil companies and is making millions as we speak?

Answer 1

HOLD ON THERE, BUCKO! Clinton lied under oath. that is perjury. also, NUMBER 1) Bush is not the president and ruler of the world.
NUMBER 2) Bush can't control gas prices. Congress makes laws, not Bush. the reason i say this is because Congress can make a law, which they haven't done, to lower gas prices.
NUMBER 3) People blame Bush for Katrina, which shot up gas prices. the only reason gas prices went up is because oil companies in America could not refine oil or ship it. you own an oil company and see what gas prices do when a NATURAL DISASTER (SOMETHING BUSH COULD NOT HAVE DONE) occurs. also, Exxon Mobil is the leading oil comany in THE WORLD. they set the bar for gas prices, NOT BUSH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I KNOW I'M NOT GETTING A BEST ANSWER FOR THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE A DAMN LIBERAL!
LIBERALS SUCK BALLS!

AND IF YOU ARE TIRED OF GAS PRICES, GET A BIKE, BUCKO!

Answer 2

Democrat - Bill Clinton was impeached for getting his knob polished.
Republican - Bill Clinton was impeached for his lies to a grand jury thus obstructing justice.

What should the President do? And while we're at it, what's the democrats plan for lower gas prices. Imagine how big they could win in November if they could claim lower gas prices.

Want lower gas prices - lower demand. It's supply and demand.
1. Use public transportation.
2. Walk.
3. Build a refinery.
4. Drill more.
5. Buy an electric car.
6. Conserve.
7. Get states to lower their tax on gas.
8. Get the feds to lower their tax on gas.
9. Fewer gas blends that increase the cost of gas.
10. Get the middle east to lower the cost of a barrel of oil.

As far as millions, John Kerry is more finacially well off ( and pays less taxes).

I am going to be president for another four years? These people must love PAIN!They ware getting what they want! Hell to the republicians I say!?

Answer 4

I think the actual reason given for impeachment was that
he lied to the Congress (perjury) - not why he lied.

There is currently no paper trail indicating corruption
regarding the energy industry and the administration.
However - the current President obviously lied to
the entire Congress (and everyone else) during his
Consititutionally required State of the Union speech when
he said that he KNEW that the Iraqis had weapons of
mass destruction. Clearly he didn't know that.

Whereas Clinton's lie might, perhaps, have offended people
and made people mistrust our government a little more than
they already mistrusted it...

Bush's lie has resulted in the deaths of 3000+ Americans
and "around 30000" Iraqis (presumably more by now, several
months after Bush said that).

Oh yeah, and people mistrust our government a little more
than they used to ...

According to the Constitution, the grounds for impeachment
are "High Crimes and Misdemeanors". I'm no Constitutional
scholar, so I don't know if lying during the State of the Union
fits - but it sure seems like it ought to.

However, the House of Representitives is Republican and
pretty partisan, so I doubt that Bush could be impeached
short of murdering someone during the shooting of
American Idol.

Answer 5

You bunch of idiots!!! Clinton committed perjury. Do you think Clinton owns now or then any oil stock? He is happy too, ever thought why he hasn't said anything about the price of oil but keeps mouthing off on the AIDS issue?? He owns stock in the pharmaceutical companies that are bidding on medication destined to the U.N effort to help AIDS' countries...Oops, hope your bubble wasn't too big, but POP!!!! We pay a FRACTION of what the developed world pays for oil, and you still want to bithc??!!! I lived in Europe and I cannot believe how much they pay!! That's why no one owns an SUV or Dually pick-up out there!!! Consider our luck as an Employee Discount for the shti we are enduring from America hater jack off's like you and the rest of the world!! If you want to point fingers on market fraud and favoritism, check this site, then come back on here and ask 'Why do ALL politicians cheat us with the market?' Azzholes! Ignorant azzholes!

Answer 6

Well, clinton didn't get impeached because he was titillating ugly 20 year old interns with illegal cigars, it was because he lied about it to a grand jury.
Since the futures market sets the price for oil, it would be difficult if not impossible to prove President Bush did anything wrong.

Oh, I too own shares of BP and Exxon and am making millions. Too bad you wasted your money on xboxes and ipods, huh.

Answer 7

Because it is perfectly legal for him to own stock in oil companies and the government, according to the constitution of the United States, is not responsible for worrying about how much people pay for gas. It is a huge inconvienience but as oil companies are in no way related to the government, it is up to them to dictate prices.

And Bill Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath repeatedly though his disgusting actions deserved it by themselves.

Answer 8

Presidents do not get impeached over gas prices or for owning profitable stock, you ignorant putz.

They do, however, get impeached for lying under oath before Congress, lying under oath to a Grand Jury, and Obstruction of Justice.

Answer 9

G.W Bush hasn't lied under oath like Bill Clinton did.

Answer 10

Because Bill Clinton lied under oath, which is the crime of perjury. Bush not doing something about gas prices is not a crime. Learn the way the law works and it makes sense.
