Should Bush be impeached?

Answer 1

No, just because it is not logistically sound. Only the U.S. House can impeach a President, and there are enough votes there for it. But that does not remove him from office. He would then stand trial in the Senate, where a 2/3 majority vote would be needed to remove Bush from office. There are not enough votes in the Senate for that. Therefore, it would just be a waste of time for the Congress, and a waste of taxpayer money.

Answer 2

In my opinion, "Yes". The constitution states that a President should be impeached for High Crimes and Misdemeanor against the nation.

The Republican Congress considered lying about a personal sexual affair a High Crime. Don't you feel that sending our young people to fight in Iraq for a lie concerning weapons of mass destruction that resulted in killing of 3,000 young people and seriously maiming 2,700 more is way more of a an impeachable crime.

Bill and Monica did not cause anyone's death. The only reason the Democrats will not impeach G. Bush is that they have to get to work to try and correct all his mistakes that are deteriorating the quality of life in the United States and re-establish honorable relationships with the rest of the world.

Answer 3

Impeachment for a president is like a indictment for us. Let's have an investigation, if he has done nothing wrong then there is nothing to worry about. Nixon was going to be impeached to illegally wiretapping American citizens (political rivals). Bush has admitted and bragged about illegally wiretapping American citizens. As for 98% of congress voting for going to war in Iraq, how can that be? 60% of the Democrats voted against it. And it was not to go to war, it was "Authorization to Use Force". And that was only if Bush proved beyond a doubt that Saddam had something to do with 9/11. He also violated UN Resolution 1440 by invading Iraq. Invading a country that has not attacked you by itself is a war crime.

Answer 4

No. I believe he's done the right things, albeit at times with bad or misinformation.

Is the world a better place without Saddam in power? Ask a Kurd how he feels about it.

Ask girls in Afghanistan how it feels to be able to go to school.

The definition of a leader is someone who does the right things and stands by his convictions, even in the face of opposition.

No President is perfect. And no campaign to change regimes in other parts of the world is easy. If it were, we'd have overrun Cuba decades ago, Nicaragua would never have had a communist government, Kadhafi would be a distant memory in Libya. Why some of our politicians embrace these oppresive regimes defies logic

I laud Bush's courage to do something about it. Mr. Clinton enjoyed the economic fruits of Alan Greenspan's wisdom, but went about Somalia half-assed, did nothing after the first WTC bombing in 1993, did nothing after the USS Cole was attacked in 2000, did nothing after the attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, did nothing after the explosion near the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996... but wound up getting impeached for apparent sexual infidelity.

Let's not forget sending a scared 5 year old boy back to an oppressive regime in spite of having family ties here in the US.

So, before you Bush bashers get your list going, consider the faults of his predecessor.

Answer 5

Bush vowed to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, when he took office. He has repeatedly broken that vow, and he now denies he even made it, saying he vowed to defend "the People of the United States", a bald faced lie. He has violated the rights of U.S. citizens with illegal wiretapping, violated human rights abroad by advocating and condoning the torture of prisoners, he lied to get us into Iraq, he has ruined our National Image abroad, and he has turned a major budget surpluss into the biggest national debt in our Nation's History, The wire tapping alone brought Nixon down, and Bush has made him look like a choir boy. So, no, he shouldn't be impeached, in this country we only impeach Presidents if they cheat on their wife.

Answer 6

Yes - Absolutely. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. Bush got intelligence and went to war. Fair is fair.

Wait a second. All of Congress got the same intelligence and they 98% voted to go to war. (Several times.) France had the same intelligence and thought that Sadam was preparing weapons of mass distruction. So did Russian intelligence and German intelligence and British intelligence.

Better impeach all Congressmen, the French, Germans, British and the Russians.

So whats going on with the 'Impeach Bush' movement. My guess is that it is nothing more that the same old Liberal mantra "I Hate Bush".

So sad.

Answer 7

For What?
-Helping the United States recover after the worst attack in US history
-Or maybe you think he should be impeached for bringing a democracy to both Iraq and Afghanistan
-Or is it for removing an awful dictator who supported terrorism (Saddam Hussein)

Those seem like logical reasons to impeach the President

Answer 8

As of today the Republicans are in charge.soon the Democrats
will have control of both the house and senate..certainly they'll
be call's for an investigation into the Presidents handling of Iraq among other exploits..if this happens and Bush is found to have misled the American public that will be grounds for impeachment.
Is this going to happen .I don't think so..
I think its good enough that history is already writing him as the worst president ever...

Answer 9

No he should not. First of all this question is very old. Second he must do something to be impeached for. You cant just impeach a president because you dont like him. Unless you are a liberal then you might think you can. Come back and visit when you have a valid question.

Answer 10

I believe his actions/orders, particularly in regard to his justification for invading Iraq and the detainment and torture of prisoners (including the setup of prisons in foreign coutnries for that purpose) need to be FULLY investigated. If he broke international laws, and/or the laws of this country, he should be impeached. End of story.

Nancy Pelosi should never have said impeachment was off the table. If she and the Democrat majority fail to pursue the truth, no matter where it leads, then they are as unfit to govern as the Republicans they replaced. I will not vote for them again.
