What standard's would a hypothetical Bush-Impeachment have?

Question

If the standard for presidential impeachment includes the simple act of lying about fellatio so your wife won't get angry; what would be the standard for acting on faulty intelligence and continuing a war that persistently goes nowhere and costs the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops and creates NEW threats to America rather than eliminating any?

I know that Bush hasn't [quite] broken the rules that surround impeachment. But I'll be damned if it isn't the contrast from hell.

Answer 1

First of all, what Clinton did or did not do behind closed doors even in the White House between two consenting adults, should not have even been considered as "high crimes and misdemeanors.." That's like firing someone and trying to ruin their lives for having extramarital affairs, and there would be many in the unemployment line in that case. The govt spent $45 million (thanks to Ken Starr) to try to nail Clinton and "expose" his sex life. We should have rather concentrated on how to protect this country to prevent 9-11. $45 mil could've been spent on a higher priority issue.

It would take two years to even set up charges, have them voted on by Congress, and to have the Supreme Court Chief Justice to be engaged in any impeachment proceedings. Granted there are some charges that could stick in relation to Bush such as stretching the rights based in the Constitution, but the Patriot Act gave him authority to do a lot of the things he, Cheney, and Rumsy did. The US voting population has to participate in 2008 unlike any other election before. We are at a crossroads here. Take charge and vote your conscience. Impreachment is out of the question--we don't have the time.

Answer 2

i'm no longer a supporter of Bush. I even not at all voted for him. yet I help the President of the U. S., whoever he/she in line with danger. Bush isn't plenty greater impeachable that previous previous presidents. He did his interest the suitable he ought to under the situations. In any previous administrations, there have been consistently "violations" of the regulation. for the duration of his (Bush) watch in spite of if, there have been no repeat of 9/eleven. on the subject of different significant subject concerns, no different team reported the subject concerns yet not at all got here up with any ideas. i visit be prepared to guess that whoever turns into the subsequent president that no longer each and every person are going to be chuffed and could call for his impeachment.

Answer 3

So he did not lose face? That is an inferiority complex he suffers from always trying to prove he is the good son and powerful just like dear old Dad. It stems from his childhood, like when he could not get into law school ever. And his grade point average was 2.35 wow! And all of that does not get him to be impeached, but mentally masterbating while those planes were crashing? hmmm let me think uh? Yes that is a Roger, over and out.

Answer 4

Bush should not only be impeached, but tried for crimes against humanity. He dances around the rules of impeachment in order to satisfy his need to spread "LIBERATION". In other words, he comes to the precipice of impeachment without crossing it.

Answer 5

I like your question and the way you presented it and,I also ponder it.I understand he has not gone far enough to be impeached?For heaven's sake,how far must one go?This man is a maniac and we are allowing him to destroy us.The laws must be changed giving any one man this kind of power.

Answer 6

All he has to do is delay and stall for 362 days. He will not be impeached.

Answer 7

Both houses didn't sign off on billybobs BJ. No one has proven yet that Bush lied. Didn't follow through on intel, of course, but no one can prove he lied.

Answer 8

I agree

Answer 9

He would have had to do something wrong but since he did not we won't have to worry about it.

Answer 10

Don't you have some icebergs to worry about
