Why do people keep calling for the impeachment of our President?

Question

Could it be that the criteria for an impeachment is beyond their comprehension level?

Why do some people not understand the meaning of CRITERIA!!

Answer 1

There is no constitutional basis for any impeachment hearings of George W. Bush

Answer 2

If I did not have sexual relations with that woman is grounds for impeachment maybe the unnecessary deaths of 3000 Americans and 655,000 Iraqi should be also. The war was based on lies told by George W. Bush and his cabinet to congress, there is some proof that this war was started by Bush for his own personal gain. Which is illegal. He has broken both American laws by disregarding the constitution and international law by his authorization of treatment of prisoners. He should be impeached and then turned over to an international tribunal to be tried for his war crimes. Just because you do not see it does not mean that 70% of the American people and over 90% of people world wide are wrong.

Answer 3

I haven't seen such calls, but if I had I would have asked those who called for the president's impeachment to provide me with a litany, chapter and verse, of those acts or omissions of the president that they regarded (and their reasons for so regarding them) as "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" within the meaning of Article II, Section 4, of the United States Constitution, which provides, in part, as follows:

"Section 4. The President, Vice President and all other 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 4

Maybe some of you should investigate a little more he has committed impeachable offences, maybe you should check things out first.

Answer 5

Yes, absolutely right you are.And they are morons too.I am not totally thrilled with GWB but there are NO grounds for impeachment other than the fact that their dreams are full of conspiracy theories and they just plain don not like his policies.They are not a very intelligent bunch!!!!

Answer 6

I have to ad mitt I was wrong about "w" I predicted he would set this country back 10 years in reality it's more like 20 years.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Because some of us refuse to be led around like sheep. We don't 'follow the crowd' simply because others do. Maybe we can see further than the tip of our noses.
