If you would read the U.S. Constitution, you will find the the American public CANNOT impeach the President. Only the U.S. House of Representatives can do that.
Article I, Section 2: "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."

grow up! Former President Clinton did much more than merely lie about sex, but then that is not your question, is it? Only congress has the power to impeach the president, and it would need legal proof of an impeachable offense to do that. So far congress not only sided with the president and voted to go to war but has found no evidence that he lied about the intelligence used to justify the decision. Just because liberals keep saying bush is a warmonger, that there were no weapon of mass destruction, that he lied about our reasons for invading and all that does not mean that what the libs say is the truth. Nor does it make it any more true when the same people that claim President Bush is a criminal warmonger direct us to websites purporting to contain proof of Bushes supposed crimes and lies. I find that the vast majority of these websites are nothing more than blogs put up by other liberals saying whatever they want against the President and citing yet further liberal sponsored sites as proof of their proof, yet more lies supporting more lies supporting even more lies. Do you really think that if you shout a lie loudly enough times it makes the lie true? I recently had an intoxicated young woman come up to me in a bar and start pushing at me and shouting to anyone that was listening "stop hitting me, he is hitting me, stop hitting me", I was totally confused as not only had I not laid a finger on her, but I had no previous contact with her at all. The end result was that the other patrons of the bar rushed to the "defense" of the woman, assuming I had done something to her when in reality she had mistaken me for someone else she had engaged in an argument earlier that evening and had now decided to seek retribution on that poor fellow, and in her drunken state that fellow was me. When I see a question on this site like yours I am reminded of that night, the drunken woman and the drunken mob justice. We are not now, nor were we ever intented to be, a nation of mob rule. We are supposed to be a republic, a nation of states bound together by common purpose and rule of JUST laws. The sooner the hand-out happy entitlement program, personal rights and responsibility stealing liberal lawmakers stop passing more laws and enforce the bill of rights and the rest of the constitution the better off we will all be.

Only Congress can impeach a president. Beyond that, no one has given any evidence the Bush lied. They have given good evidence that he was given bad information. He acted on the information that he had that he believed to be true. And, even though we have found no evidence of any existing WMD's, that does not mean that it was not in Iraq's plans to start gathering them.
Before he went to war, there were many others in Congress (both Republican and Democrat) that had the same information Bush did and agreed to the war based on that information. He only went to war after getting the approval of Congress. As you have to know, the President can not declare war. Only an act of Congress can declare war. And that is what happened.

You people are so ridiculous.
He did not lie about anyhting.
He used the same information the entire world had.
Even Clinton said that Saddam had WMDs in 98.
Do some research, don't just spout off like an idiot.

It will take a Constitutional Amendment. Right now there's no process for "the American public" to impeach anybody. Let me guess, I'll bet you think we live in a democracy?

A kid who has an avatar showing him flipping the bird must be have really thought long and hard about the president and constitutional law, and that WAKE UP line in all caps cinched it. The president must really be a criminal. Thank you sir for opening my eyes. Oh try writing your congressmen, I'm sure they will be just as enthralled with your intelligence and maturity just as I was and take your suggestion to heart.

Well let see 50+ millions of dollars were spent to find out Clinton got a BJ in the white house and lied about it. So a married man lied so his wife wouldn't find out - big surprise right ? But the real question is how much was spent of weapon of mass distraction

An offense that merits impeachment in the eyes of the law makers. If and until then, the misguided babblings of the liberal hate mongers means nothing.

I guess you fell asleep that day in civics class... the American public cannot impeach anyone. Review our system of checks and balances!

It ain't gonna happen...and Clinton (your hero, I imagine) did more than lie about sex. Bush acted on bad intel, Slick Willy acted on hormones.
