I am hearing that President Bush should be impeached, that he is a criminal. Now I'm hearing that he violated his Oath of Office! I mean what was his violation, in my eyes he didnt do anything wrong. and dont tell me people that was killed under his belt. There is no president, prime minister, king or emperor who doesnt have bodies under his belt. someone fill me in with their logic. (sources are recommended)

He has violated NO law. He has however protected our country from any further attacks.
You see, Clinton on the other hand IGNORED the 4 prior attacks on the US (1st attack on the WTC, attack on the USS Cole, and 2 attacks on US Embassy's) .. and he did NOTHING (except for Monica ... he did do Monica).
The Dems just can't handle that there have been NO scandals in the White House since we told Bill and Hillary to put an egg in their shoe and BEAT IT.

President Bush has not broken any laws that i can name but that doesn't mean he is a good president. being not guilty is not the same as being innocent. every year when the presidents come and go there are still just as many families struggling thorugh poverty.it is no surprise that children who grow up in slums have a higher likelihood of committing a crime and lower self esteem. hungry children typically don't do well in school. there is a scoool 3 blocks from the white house with 50 students per class and only about 30 chairs and desks. when will the president take care of americans? never. why? b/c where there is money and power there is greed and greed breeds corruption and corruption doesn't improve the lives of americans. when the governemnt is run by people who volunteer they will be working b/c they care, not b/c they will be getting something for it. the President has the power to change lives for the better and he has failed miserably. the national weather service predicted a category 5 hurricane would hit the gulf coast a year before it happened. can you blame the governor for not having the levees fixed? yes. can you blame the president for failing to protect his people? absolutely. while the white house is adorned with tens countless dollars worth of christmas decorations every december there are countless children in america who receive no gifts and have no heat for their houses. these people are forgotten year after year. that is our President's crime and unfortunately it is not illegal.

1. He lied to the citizens of this nation and the world concerning his reasons to invade Iraq. That information comes from former secretary of Sate Colin Powell and others. The US ambassador to the UN had to acknowledge that much of the 'evidence' presented to the Security Council prior to the invasion was not factual.
2. He has approved intelligence agencies to commit acts of spying on US citizens living in the United States.
3. Perhaps the most frightening act, which has not been taken up by the high court is the bill giving him authority to suspend writ of haveus corpus for US citizens. All it takes is for a presidential commission to declare the citizen an enemy non-combatant or combatant. The accuse has no right to face the accusers, see complete evidence against him or her and is subject to a secret trial.
Whether or not you like this President these are frightening steps. Keep in mind that these powers do not go away when this President leaves office. Do you really feel comfortable leving these powers in the hands of all future presidents? I certainly do not.

My favorite one is that he sat for 7 minutes after the attack.
First, how is that impeachable?
And second, exactly what did people want him to do? He did exactly what he should have, exactly what his advisors told him to do, and exactly what any other president would have done!
I guess people wanted him to wave his arms in front of little children, and start running around the room scream, "we're under attack, we're under attack."
All the children, teachers and staff at the school said he handled it great and made them feel secure.

He has exceeded his Constitutional bounds and eroded our system of Checks & Balabces by:
1) Illegal wiretapping without requisite court orders. That was an article against Nixon, too.
2) Excluding Congress from notification, as required by law, and from their proper supervisory role.
3) His extreme use of "Signing Statements" to state what part of the new laws he will enforce, when he is required to enforce ALL the laws.
4) Violation of Habeus Corpus.
5) Incarcerations without Due Process.
6) Tolerating Torture, contrary to our Treaty obligations (and the Constitution says that Treaties approved by the Senate become the Law of the Land).
That should be enough. But then, it doesn't rise to the level of a bl0wjob with a sexually-aggressive Intern, does it??

President Bush is a good man. He may have made some mistakes along the way, but he hasn't done anything criminal.
The left is so full of hate that they want to punish the President for every hangnail they have had for the last 20 years.

more like the entire republican majority should be investigated, for trimming Clinton's anti-terror proposals prior to 9/11, allowing 9/11 to occur, and then supporting the same action afterwards. no matter who you are, or what your party affiliation, this is shady!
if they would have allowed Clinton to do half of the stuff they allowed Bush to do, 9/11 wouldn't have occured.
if you wish to deny fact, please by all means give me a bad rating, but that does not rewrite the history, that so many Bush supporters, or people who blame Clinton for every bush failure, doesn't even have a clue about.
I'm not so sure, bush has done anything impeachable, but all the actions of our leader should be scrutinized, to prevent abuses of power.
but the political infighting, just to make Clinton look bad, did allow 9/11 to occur, therefor anyone who attacked his anti-terror efforts should be investigated for making partisan competition above American security! even the GOP website attempts to spin this reality. voting records, and statments about explosive tags, doesn't lie, and niether does everything else the congressional majority removed from clinton's anti-terror legislation.
why would republicans claim Clinton's proposals are attacks on individual liberties, and then rubberstamp them for Bush?
when you find out the answer, you know why terrorists where allowed to pull off 9/11

His violation is not being a liberal liar, that is enough to impeach him. He used Clinton's intel to make his decisions why was Clinton not brought in to a Senate inquiry or hearing regarding this failure in national security.
