Do u Think that the president should be impeached?

Answer 1

No, because "thinking", opinions and propaganda sites cannot impeach. Crimes committed are grounds for impeachment, and if any crime has/had been committed the hearings would be happening at this time.

Answer 2

Actually, there are dozens of bases, including usurping the rights given to us in the Constitution. The Foudning Fathers intended impeachment to be a solution for citizens to get rid of a bad president before four years were up. They wrote it as broadly as possible ("high crimes OR misdemeanors") so that there would be many grounds. They discussed at the time that if America elected a president who was leading the country in the wrong direction, the public would have recourse and a way to get rid of him.

Therefore, it does not have to be a crime like murder. It can be lying and deception, war profiteering, not protecting the Constitution as he is sworn to do, getting our country into a war on false grounds, creating huge deficits that generations will have to pay for, participation in outing a covert CIA agent--or any number of other actions.

In 1970, then-Representative Gerald R. Ford defined the criteria as he saw it: "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."

Answer 3

I'd rather see a vote of "no confidence." If we learn that Bush committed a crime, then impeach him. But unless we do, then we need to keep *some* semblance of proper government.

Just as, if we learn that Cheney really did commit perjury over the Joe Wilson scandal, we should impeach *him.*

"No confidence," though? Absolutely.

Answer 4

To impeach our own leader during this time of war and instability, it would look weak and irrational on behalf of the American people towards the world. To impeach President Bush during this time in history would be a mistake.

Answer 5

No Way and besides, the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA will win the NBA Championship before George W. Bush is Impeached and since the Hawks are not going to win the the NBA Championship anytime soon, George W. Bush will NEVER EVER BE Impeached.

Answer 6

Throughout the nation’s history, the failure of government to deliver justice has led to the establishment of grassroots organizations, often ad hoc, dissolving after their purpose was fulfilled. For instance, after passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, knowing that the national government could not be counted on to repeal the act, black and white anti-slavery groups organized to nullify the law by acts of civil disobedience. They held meetings, made plans, and set about rescuing escaped slaves who were in danger of being returned to their masters.

In the desperate economic conditions of 1933 and 1934, before the Roosevelt Administration was doing anything to help people in distress, local groups were formed all over the country to demand government action. Unemployed Councils came into being, tenants’ groups fought evictions, and hundreds of thousands of people in the country formed self-help organizations to exchange goods and services and enable people to survive.

More recently, we recall the peace groups of the 1980s, which sprang up in hundreds of communities all over the country, and provoked city councils and state legislatures to pass resolutions in favor of a freeze on nuclear weapons. And local organizations have succeeded in getting more than 400 city councils to take a stand against the Patriot Act.

Impeachment hearings all over the country could excite and energize the peace movement. They would make headlines, and could push reluctant members of Congress in both parties to do what the Constitution provides for and what the present circumstances demand: the impeachment and removal from office of George Bush and Dick Cheney. Simply raising the issue in hundreds of communities and Congressional districts would have a healthy effect, and would be a sign that democracy, despite all attempts to destroy it in this era of war, is still alive.

Answer 7

Uh - No - - But, the important thing here is that a President has to commit a crime to be impeached. President Bush, Unlike Clintoon, has committed no crime. While we are here , can someone please get that message to Rosie O'Donnel on the view. It is embarrassing to her to keep calling for impeachment without a crime. As The Donald says, she is a little bit dumb.

Answer 8

Our own laws outlines limits the government cannot overstep.

Pres. Bush has signed and approved thousands of documents that allow the government to invade private citizens privacy
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002511----000-.html
He had developed a case against a country that never intended to harm us or had the capability to and created a special office (OSP) specifically to conjure up propaganda for the war in Iraq.
He has passed laws that defy the Geneva conventions and allow us to torture 'enemy combatants' without proof or trials, this even under our own laws is illegal
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002441----000-.html

And this is only a fraction of illegal activity done by his administration.

Answer 9

I think he should be tried for war crimes, along with Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld,Rice, and the rest of them. They broke the law, they lied and they've swindled a great deal of money off to their business associates in the process..

Answer 10

Maybe, but the libs want to keep him in there until the 2008 elections so they cant take MORE gop power away. It might be best for gop politicians to sacrifice Bush so we can start with a fresh slate. Throw a HUGE monkey wrench in the libs plans!
