Answer 1

Sigh, you need to get over this hatred of bush thing and move on.

Answer 2

No. Not sufficient evidence by itself.

Lying, not under oath, is not technically a crime. Nor is it treason. And just making bad decisions is not grounds of impeachment.

However, Bush has publicly admitted to willfully violating federal laws, including his warrantless wiretapping program (18 USC 2511) in violation of FISA (50 USC 1801 et seq), as well as commission of war crimes under federal law (18 USC 2441). Beyond his public admissions, these have been confirmed by federal courts, including the Supreme Court in the later case.

Public admissions by Bush, plus Supreme Court findings, what more do people need before they consider a fact proven?

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."

Answer 3

Impeachment is controlled by the Congress. Pack the Senate with Dems and you will have impeachment proceedings. Otherwise, Bush gets a free pass-----------------------

I think gross mismanagement of public funds would be a misdemeanor: the 3 largest budget deficits in US history.

Answer 4

Politicals don't like to hold each other accountable, it might start a trend. The myth is the 3 branches of government keep each other honest, but now they cover each other's backsides.

Answer 5

yes
