That is what the law and the Constitution require.
If he is tried (impeached) and acquitted -- so be it.
But to refuse the trial, and let him get away with ignoring federal laws and constitutional requirements at will, that's an insult to the very fabric of this country, and to everything that it was founded upon.
And allowing him to get away with ignoring federal laws and constitutional requirements at will, without even a trial, that's an insult to every soldier and sailor who has died defending this country and an insult to their oath to defend this country and the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
{EDIT}
People keep asking the same mindless stupid question, "what has he done wrong?" but you never bother to actually read the answers!
My gods people, how can you be so utterly dense. He has admitted violating FISA. He has admitted violated the Geneva Convention, which is defined as war crimes under federal law (18 USC 2441). He has ADMITTED it. Publicly. And the Supreme Court has confirmed it. What more will it take?
Have you even read the laws in question? Or the Supreme Court cases? If not, then stop wasting our time asking a question you refuse to allow anyone to answer.
If you think Bush had a justification for breaking the laws that he has ADMITTED breaking, the prove it. Answer the question below.

yes I think any American who violates a law needs to be punished or corrected. I think in the case of Mr. Bush impeachment is probably unlikely, even Democrats are split on the issue. However, I think that the President will feel the response this fall after the election when he tries to bully the congress to institute his policies into law and eventually when the laws that he forces into place with his Republican congress are repealed. His legacy will be that of a man who tried to protect America by reducing the value of our rights as Americans and tarishing America's image for decades to come.
If you watched his last press conference you saw a man unwilling to cooperate with the American people. He talked down a reporter and appeared angry that someone would question his right to torture to protect us. One reporter brought up (sheepishly) the fact that the Prez was continuing to connect Sadam with Osama until recently knowing full well that what he was saying was not true...the Prez stated that he had never said there was a connection (if he never said exactly those words, he said many others like that to make the case for invading and justifying the fact that there were no WMD's). He is still spinning the facts to those gullible enough to believe him.
No, I don't think he will be impeached. But, he will fall pretty hard in the next few years. He has not had to cooperate with viable political opposition in Washington...He isn't any good at bringing forth a logical vision that the average American could stand by. He is too authoritarian to be effective if he doesn't have full control. I'm sure things will come out during the last year of his term and after, but no one will do more that write about it...others will spin it and there will be no closure.

This argument went on in the early 70s with Nixon. It was decided then that the President of the USA is not above the law. The problem with holding Bush accountable is the same now as it was then, the Vice Presidential slot. Agnew was completely unsuited for the Presidency as is Chaney. It was fortunate in Nixon's case that Agnew had clearly blatant criminal activity as Governor of Maryland. Thus they booted Agnew out first before impeaching Nixon, who after all was not a crook.
Perhaps Bush is clearly guilty of a crime in office. But what has Chaney done that is grounds for impeachment?

Please be specific in asking a question. What misdeeds? Please list them.
What criminal activity? Please list the criminal activity.
If there is criminal activity going on, wouldn't someone, in one of the law enforcement agencies have filed charges?
Doing whate ever is necessary to protect the citizens of the United States is the first priority. We have been attacked repeatedly for twenty years, and not one of our great heroes in office did a damn thing about it, until GWB. Yet, you loosers continue to hail the likes of Bill Clinton, a man who murdered innocent women and children in Texas, and set a new low standard for Presidential behavior in the Oral Office, oops, I mean Oval Office. I vow to be as big a pain in the *** to any democrat, if one should be elected in 2008 as president, as you Bush Bashers are to our current president. Any democrat will have a tough row to hoe in the future, no matter how pretty he is.

Anyone who can go awol for all those months and get away with it, can get away with anything....and he has. It stinks! During Viet Nam. even LBJ cracked from the bloodbath he felt responsible for....Bush? With his "What me worry?" blank stare and his ivy cowboy bravado has not lost one moment's pleasure caring about the thousands of deaths and maimed soldiers he led into the pit of hell. He will get away with murder.

YES
But like his mentor Caligula who walked the streets of Rome murdering and raping for recreational purposes, Bush will only be judged by History.

The CRC (Christian Republican Criminals) Party controls all three branches of government. They put Stutterin' George in office, and he will stay where they tell him to -
Good Boy, George.
Does he roll-over? (ans: only in Afghanistan and Iraq)
Hey andy g -
The Stooges were flaming Jewish liberals. You can come out from behind the mast, your hypocrisy is showing.

What misdeeds?
What criminal activity?
point some out please don't just spout some Anti-American web site BS name some of these misdeeds and criminal actions.
There are none of either.
Maybe the traitorous actions of the Defeatacrat/Demoncrap Party
should be looked at.

Well he illegally invaded a country based on lies.Is indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of iraqi innocents.He allowed illegal wiretapping, illegal detaining...So...um yeah he should be held accountable, I think maybe him and Saddam should have a joint trial.Even though I dont belive Saddam Husseins trial is legal.
