Is it possible to take legal action against George Bush?

Question

Let's say a person pieces together a list of charges against George Bush.
Is it possible to take him to court?
How?
(I ask this question for a number of reasons.
One reason is that Bush lost both the election AND the re-election, yet occupies the Oval Office. I capitalize on this one, as it's the most obvious and violates democracy.

Another is that he claimed that he and the U.S. government had undeniable proof of the presence of weapons of mass destruction within Iraq. HE CARRIED OUT AN INVASION AND JUSTIFIED IT with information that he later confirmed to be false.

And of course, more recently, the PROCESS of the execution of Saddam. Saddam most likely had it coming anyhow, but the due process of trial was in many ways arranged by Bush and his government, who claimed to give Saddam the "fair trial" he denied others. BUT... Pressure from Bush accelerated the execution. Yet, when Saddam's lawyers attempted to appeal the decision, the U.S. said there was nothing they could do.)

Also consider Katrina

Our ever-needlessly-dying troops

And his "International Diplomacy"

THIS MAN IS -NOT- AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

George W. Bush is NOT the President of the United States.
Currently, there is no president.

So can someone nail this bastard in court?

You WILL try, "officer" spag. You WILL try.

Answer 1

it is not possible to take legal action against GWB. there is a law that exempts sitting presidents from lawsuits and other criminal charges. the law was designed to prevent the president from being hauled into court every week during his term, by anyone who wanted to file a lawsuit against him. it would be too much af a distraction for any president.

this is what the impeachment process is all about. impeachment does not mean remove from office. Impeachment simply removes the presidents protection. if it is suspected that the prez has commited a crime, the house votes to impeach. if a president is impeached, then he becomes "fair game" for charges. the senate hears the evidence and votes.

Answer 2

In criminal matters, the President of the United States(POTUS) cannot be tried in court as the president. Either the president would be removed from office through the impeachment process and then tried, or the chrges would have to wait until his term expires.

According to the Supreme Court in 1997, the POTUS can be taken to civil court on matters taking place before he took office. The POTUS cannot, however, be sued for anything taking place during his presidency.

So, no, you cannot sue anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

Answer 3

1. he was legally elected and he won the election, guess you don't read the facts.

2. Clinton, congress everyone thought there was WMD. And Bush did not invade on his own. Congress voted to invade.
If he, as he did, beleived it to be true, then it was justifed.
( although most likely they just wanted to have a base in the middle east)

And of course the trial was not ran by the US, it was done by Iraq courts, Iraq judges and he had an Iraq appeals,

And no the law in Iraq is clear, exucution within 30 days of loss of appeal.

I am sorry you are so misinformed but listing to Air America can do this to you

Answer 4

First, an individual cannot take a charge of treason to court - only the government can do that. Second, you can't take a sitting President to court. The congress can impeach him, and once he is out of office, you could sue him in civil court. (Actually, you could start a civil suit, but it would be suspended until his term was up).

Answer 5

as what I heard in TV news that those advocates who were moving toward success to prove saddam innocent were killed continuesly 2 times. It happens in a country where a normal person can be secure just by asking US government that he thinks his life is in danger he need security.

I dont think any one can dare to file case against Bush cause he will be afraid keeping the murder of saddam's lawyer in his mind. Bush government is self-proclaimed democracy deployer actualy it can destroy meaning of democracy for his own sake ( their sake is oil field in iraq)

Answer 6

I'm not sure because he is only killing people. It's not like he is having an affair or getting a b-job.

Please do us a favor and sue him. I think most of the country would rally behind you.

Please somebody take one for the country and give George a b-job so we can get him out of office.

Answer 7

Of course you are given the 'right' to make a case, they are trying it against Rumsfeld. Would it be in your self interest when these people would stop at nothing to crush you and your business through their wealth and connections. Its like bringing on a huge enemy thats willing to destroy anything in its path.

Answer 8

A little specificity, please, Clarence Darrow.

What kind of "legal action"? And who is the party or entity that you suppose might want to bring such "legal action"? The Congress? The Attorney General? Or sumb dumbass dork in East Armpit?

It's been my experience that people who use terms such as "legal action" routinely have trouble remembering which way to screw the cap back on the ketchup bottle.

Answer 9

the legal system ,the government are part of the same power structure that Bush is ,the High degree Masonic order .they will not take legal action against one of their own.

Answer 10
