Answer 1

That same letter of impeachment can be used on every idiot in power who has taken their own self interests over that of the people and of the nation. Print several copies and get these rotton bastards out of office before they remove THIS liberty from our grasps, like they have so many others.

Please, do it now. Flush these turds while we still can!

Answer 2

Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution --- "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."

Why did the impeachment trial, under these tenets, of Bill Clinton fail? And, under these tenets, where is the grounds for impeaching George W. Bush? A very broad interpretation would leave many senators, representatives and other government officials tried, convicted and out of a job.

Count yourself lucky to live in a democracy, and use the system. Vote. Contact your representatives. Read the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence. And realize first and foremost that the current situations which have you ready to impeach the President were not his decisions alone, that is not how the government works.

And note - email petitions are not legal documents, and are dismissed out of hand.

Answer 3

It is clear that Bush is an incompetent, dishonest and corrupt President working for his own interests and those of big business, particularly the drug and oil companies.

BUT - Consider this... If BUSH get's impeached and removed from office, the DICK "HITLER" CHENEY would become President! If that happens, we will be living in the United States of Halliburton and our money would read "In Oil We Trust." God Forbid!!

And then if Cheney's bad heart finally gives out, then get this: DENNIS HASTERT, the fat slob who cared more about politics and his party and his own position than he did about the kids in the intern program, would become PRESIDENT!!! Welcome to Hell...

No, what we really need is a Democratic legislature to bring integrity and honesty back to the United States, to pull the reigns on the corrupt Bush administration and its rubber-stamp congress, and to get the USA back on the right track. In the meantime, GOD BLESS G.W. BUSH and keep him HEALTHY!!!

Answer 4

Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL
read it for yourself
War crimes are violations by a country, its civilians, or its military personnel of the international laws of war. The laws of war are laws that must be obeyed by the United States, its officials and its military, and by the UN. The laws are contained in treaties that the U.S. has signed, for example the Geneva Convention of 1949 on Prisoners of War. They are reflected in what is called customary international law. This law has arisen over hundreds if not thousands of years. All countries must obey it.

War crimes are divided into two broad categories. The first are called crimes against peace. Crimes against peace include the planning, preparation, or initiation of a war of aggression. In other words one country cannot make aggressive war against another country. Nor can a country settle a dispute by war; it must always, and in good faith, negotiate a settlement. The second category are what we can call crimes against humanity; I am including here crimes against civilians and soldiers. These are violations of the rules as to the means and manner by which war is to be conducted once begun. These include the following prohibitions: killing of civilians, indiscriminate bombing, the use of certain types of weapons, killing of defenseless soldiers, ill treatment of POWs and attacks on non-military targets.

Any violation of these two sets of laws is a war crime; if the violations are done on purpose, recklessly or knowingly, they are considered very serious and called grave breaches; Nazis and Japanese following World War II were hanged for such grave breaches.

First, I want to discuss crimes against peace and give you some sense of its application here. This prohibition is embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, the Nuremberg Charter, which is the law under which the Nazis were tried, and a treaty called the Kellogg-Briand pact. As the Nuremberg Charter defines,

Crimes against peace:
Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).
The United Nations Charter is the highest expression of this prohibition on aggressive war and sets down very rigorous rules for avoiding the use of force - rules which were flagrantly violated by the United States and a Security Council it controlled. Article 2131 of the UN Charter requires that international disputes be settled by peaceful means so that international peace, security and justice are not endangered; Article 2141 requires that force shall not by used in any manner that is inconsistent with the purposes of the UN and Article 33 requires that parties to a dispute shall first of all seek a solution by negotiation, inquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies, or other peaceful means. Not until all such means are exhausted can force be used.
