7) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejectin

13) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

Answer 1

Yes because opinions and propaganda cannot be used for impeachment. Common sense show that if the president did anything wrong that the new congress would have began hearings, and as of today it ain't happening because there ain't no evidence.

Answer 2

Presidential impeachement......hmmmm. I could really take it or leave it. Honestly, at this time I dont believe it is in the nations best interest to be left without genuine leadership. At this point in the Administration an impeachement hearing would just be a ceremony with no teeth. By the time a verdict came out it would be time to inaugurate the next president. However, if you absolutely must see this happen. I would try to sure up bipartisan support for impeachement hearings, make the decision and stick to it by taking steps toward putting this together, and gather information on the grounds for impeachement (a good place to start would be the ongoing Scooter Libby trial over who leaked Valerie Plames name to the general public).

Answer 3

I have been a Rep, since I voted for Kennedy and swore I would never make that mistake again, but after G,W,B, I just might go back to voting for Dem's again, god forbid, one thing is for certain if we don't get some one who can run a country damned soon, we won't have a country to run,I am looking toward the independents I just hope they have some one besides Ralph Nader this time, and I sure hope we get some one who will not sell out to the Zionist, as our past presidents have,we also need to watch our congress and senate they are also selling us out,

Answer 4

Some Republicans out there want to see Bush impeached.

I'm a Republican, and I don't really like Bush, but I don't want to see him impeached. I have two main reasons:

1.) President Cheney?

2.) Our nation doesn't need more divisive political BS.

If he starts a war with Iran and/or Syria, check back with me.

Answer 5

I love you, no...seriously I do, in a sisterly way. So many of the Republicans on here are inflammatory and nasty...and would rather use little catch phrases instead of having a real debate. I am sorry that your party has swung so far right, leaving intelligent moderates like you in the dust. And, fiscal responsibility of Republican leaders are a thing of the past. As a former Repub. myself (whom never voted for Bush, I must add)...I say join the Dems...trust me, the grass is greener on this side and true intelligent debate is tolerated.

Answer 6

I hope not, but I fear so.

I consider myself to be a both-winger, and to me Bush represents the worst possible combination, the radical conservative.

I believe it could be demonstrated that he willfully and knowingly led the nation into a disastrous war under false pretenses.

The only alternative explanation is that he really is that gullible and stupid, and I still can't bring myself to face THAT possibility.

Answer 7

Unfortunately there are LIBERAL Republicans. John McCain is one of them. There are even Gay Republicans, though one thinks they should be in the Democratic party. Go Figure.
Bush should not be impeached because he has did only the will of the people after 911. Hillary gave a speech about the necessity to go to Irac and take Saddam out, even before Bush took office. Kerry, Gore, Bill Clinton and all the rest gave permission to go to Irac before we did, and now that we are in that quagmire, everyone wants to give him grief. They will do anything for votes no matter who suffers. If we left now before a favorable outcome, it would only embolden the enemy, and a bloodbath would ensue from all sides. We would look like a third rate power to the world. Do we really want that?

Answer 8

I'm afraid you probably are. I'm not a Republican, but clearly he has done what Madison said was an impeachable offense: He has put the health of the republic in danger. That's an impeachable offense.

Now, I salute your courage and your backbone. Your fellow Republicans will savage you here. You are a person I could work with. I truly hope there are more like you in government.

Answer 9

Now you are the kind of republican that can be respected. However, I know someone who is more socially liberal than anyone in congrees, hates bush, but calls himself a republican.

Answer 10

Impeached for what, precisely? (Moonshot--what is the impeachable offense?) I suppose the same liberals who were crying about the way Clinton was treated now want to do the same?

I have a suggestion: try running a candidate for president who can actually win. Then you won't have a Republican president to complain about for four more years. What are your chances with Hillary or Obama?
