Are we about ready to impeach Bush?

Question

I am embarrassed by the man. Now, too late, he's visiting heads of state abroad, and the way in which he is being received is terrible. I'm afraid he will start a war somewhere else. It's a shame that the rest of the world thinks we're warmongers! Please share your thoughts calmly. Thank you.

Impeach him for THIS:

Illegal wiretapping of American citizens in violation of the 4th amendment of the united states and the FISA statutes:

Violating International Law as recognized by the UN and Nuremburg Chaters by invading a sovereign nation who posed no threat to us:

Chapter 1, Article 2 of the UN Charter states:

Bush Declaring himself a defacto monarch by issuing hundreds of constitutional signing statments in which he dictates which laws he will and will not follow:

And I havent even TOUCHED on the malicious outting of a covert CIA operative in a time of war in order to smear a political opponent, nor have I gone into detail about lying to the American public about going to war in Iraq.

Yes, I AM ashamed that he is currently the face of America, and that that ugly face is being forced upon other nations around the world. It will take decades to undo the damage Bush and his administration have done to this country.

Edit: Actually we ARE bound by international law, you ignoramous. Article 6, Section 2 of the Constitution makes the United Nations Charter, a treaty duly signed and ratified by the US government, a part of the “supreme Law of the Land.” The same applies to the Geneva Conventions and Nuremberg Codes---if we sign a treaty, we become BOUND to it by force of our constitution...jeez, take a civics class.

Answer 2

Despite the Democratic victory in November, Republicans are still a strong enough force to shield Bush from impeachment. The non binding Senate resolution against the surge in Iraq was just defeated by these forces, and this is proof that impeachment would be impossible.

But it's amazing, isn't it that someone like Celtic can list 8 or 10 reasons to impeach Bush while others say "for what", he hasn't done ANYTHING. Perhaps they think the only disqualification for office is cheating on the wife? But then some of these people will support McCain, Giuliani and Gingrich who have had multiple affairs and marriages! All I can say is, conservatism in the US is an extremely confused philosophy.

Answer 3

Clinton replaced into impeached yet finished his time period in workplace. Bush has finished no longer some thing to justify impeachment, he has damaged no regulation or dedicated any impeachable act so how might want to we bypass about doing what maximum folk ought to work out yet won't be able to be justifiably finished. Dislike of the President isn't grounds for impeachment! commencing a conflict with Iraq? The structure says that in undemanding words Congress can declare conflict, yet no President in historic previous has ever requested Congress for permission earlier going to conflict, they start up a conflict then tell Congress that we are at conflict & Congress provides you them the money to wrestle suggested conflict. superb equipment, if in undemanding words it worked because it replaced into meant to artwork. it might want to be tremendous if the human beings we decide a minimum of knew what's written in the structure & said it, issues may artwork a lot more beneficial useful in this united states in the journey that they did so.

Answer 4

No, I don't think the U.S. will ever impeach Bush. At most, we will see a few high level trials - such as Libby, but I feel most Americans are just relieved he can't be elected again. I think most Americans are confused (I am), I understand the political and economic value of Iraq (oil & keeping Iran in check) but am dumb founded at the constant lack of judgment made by the administration. This is a lesson Americans needed to learn. We have grown to lax about voting and getting involved and now we a paying the price.

Answer 5

American presidents being poorly recieved in foreign countries is hardly new....it has more to do with the lack of education and understanding of global events in those countries than anything else.
The US has had the reputation of 'warmonger' for decades - it comes from being the Big Dog on the block, the one superpower.
It is striking just how quickly those who chant hateful slogans in the street call on us to defend and protect them when they find themselves in trouble.
As for impeachment, not a single person (incuding you CelticPixie - aquaint yourself with some FACTS girl!) has shown a single reason for impeachment...other than you just don't like the man.
That hardly constitutes an impeachable offense.

Answer 6

For at least the 900th time since he became President. No one has provided indictable evidence of any impeachable offense. He has not been charged with any crime. It is acceptable to voice your discontent with the man, but you cannot impeach a President just because you do not like him or his policies. The Democrats in Congress understand that without ironclad evidence any impeachment attempt will be a miserable failure because they do not have the votes required in the Senate to actually accomplish this goal. Further polls suggest that by and large the majority of the people are against this action. To attempt it and fail would seriously damage Democrats in the next election. The point is it is not going to happen. Barring actual impeachable offenses being committed in the near future George Bush will finish his term unscathed.

noamerinazis: I am not Jewish, but thanks for providing the most idiotic post I have seen this morning.

W Hill: Typical liberal type answer. Look if anyone can show evidence of an impeachable offense I will stand with them. Mark that word evidence. Evidence is not what the left presents though. They present supposition in absence of fact and demand that this be enough. Several of the so called charges mentioned have been reviewed and ruled on, but this is not good enough because you didn't get the outcome you wanted. I am so sick of hearing liberals talk about justice. You are not interested in justice, you are interested in having your own way , evidence and due process be damned. You have deemed George Bush lacking and just cannot understand why the rest of us won't accept your brilliance in the matter. I don't care for Mr. Bush very much these days, but I believe in the law. If you claim to believe in the Constitution you should try believing in it also.

Answer 7

Can't we just recall him like we did Gray Davis in California? And don't tell me there is no legal provision for it, there wasn't for Gray Davis, either. (Which is why I voted against it even though I didn't like Davis. However, I may be warming to the idea.)

Impeachment would be expensive and counterproductive, given how much time he has left. However, I may change my mind. Daily, I rethink the question.

Answer 8

Instead of impeaching the man, isolate him, let him finish his term and lets let congress spend their time passing legislation that will benefit the rest of us instead of wasting their time going through the impeachment process. We have waited long enough for congress to act on the key area, Medicare, healthcare, education, environment, job creating and border control. If we continue to be fixated on Bush and how can we screw him and the Republicans, then we will never get them to do the job we put them there for and that is to get this country moving again.

Answer 9

He is a definite embarrassment to the Country, I have been ready for his impeachment way back in 2000.

Answer 10

I'm not as that would make Vice President Cheney the President. You think you have it bad now?

Answer 11

If I hated the United States like you do, I might be embarrased by a man who is working furiously to keep it safe.

You are the enemy within.

Unlike clinton (who was impeached), Bush has commited no crime and can not be impeached. clinton was not only impeached, but held in contempt of court for lying under oath and disbarred for unethical legal practices. Something tells me you are a communist...er, clinton supporter.
