Someone asked me if I knew what impeach meant. Since I have never looked it up I am wondering. I did see what it did to Nixon to get him out of office because newsreporters and young people got tired of dying in Vietnam. I also saw what it did to our economy to impeach a president. I think this one if he is smart will listen to his people if they can figure out how to tell him what they believe is needed.

So what does the word impeach really mean?
AA: "I pull out my dictionary definition. Does it say anything about removing?"

MAN/WOMAN: "No."

RS: No, it doesn't. Impeach, according to our American Heritage Dictionary, simply means "to charge with malfeasance in office before a proper tribunal."

It's something that we need to do to Bush. Impeach is pretty much throwing someone out of office.
