I am disappointed enough to want to impeach. However he has "covered his back" Unprovoked attack on Iraq and right on down to his signing statements. he has good lawyers, and has been careful not to commit an impeachable offense. What we call "A shade shady but not out and out illegal" IN Texas we say thats the mark of a good ol' boy.

If we lived in a perfect world, Bush would be impeached, or called on the carpet in some other legal manner so that he could be held accountable and take responsibility for his actions. But we don't live in a perfect world, and Bush won't be impeached, even if the Democrats do retake control of Congress in November. Because if Bush is impeached and removed from office, then that means Cheney, whose public approval rating is far worse, becomes President for the remainder of Bush's term, and nobody wants that.

I am pro impeachment, he has disregarded many laws and the constitution that he swore to uphold. He needs to be removed from office and he and his vice president and cabinet should then be arrested and taken to the international court to stand trial for his crimes against the Iraqi people and humanity in general.

Let's review:
Bush swore an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. He has sponsored and signed laws that violate Articles I (denial of Habeas Corpus), IV (denial of Full Faith and Credit), VI (abrogation of the Supremacy Clause), and the 4th (illegal searches and seizures), 5th (lack of due process), 6th (denial of counsel, denial of access to courts), and 8th (no torture) Amendments. He has ordered actions that have violated Articles I (abrogation of Presentment and Bicameral Clauses), III (rejection of judicial authority of federal courts), IV (denial of Privileges and Immunities Clause), and the 1st (breach of Establishment Clause, denial of Freedom of Association, denial of Right to Petition), 4th (illegal searches and seizures), 5th (denial of Due Process, improper Takings, refusal to follow Grand Jury requirements), 6th (denial of counsel, abrogation of Confrontation Clause, denial of public trial), and 8th (no torture) Amendments. He refers to the Constitution as "just a g*d*mn piece of paper". This is failure to support and defend the Constitution, which is a betrayal of his oath of office.
Bush swore an oath of office to ensure that the laws of this nation were faithfully executed. He has put into place 800 signing statements, the vast majority of which assert that he does not intend to follow or enforce a particular law if he doesn't want to. He has lied to Congress about those signing statements, which is a violation of federal law. He has ordered illegal warrantless wiretapping in violation of FISA and Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control Act (18 USC 2511). He has committed actions our own laws clearly define as war crimes (18 USC 2441). He has willfully violated federal law thousands upon thousands of times, by his own admission and according to findings of the US Supreme Court. This is failure to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, which is a betrayal of his oath of office.
That's just what he's admitted doing, and what the Supreme Court has determined he's done.
Article II Section 4. "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
