Please, lets do something about it! Would you sign a petition? Would we be in danger somehow if we started a petition? I have always thought so. That is why I have not proceded......... what do you think?

Go for it. Run around chasing your own tail. Use up all your energy doing that and stop bothering Answers with these questions. Then, take a lesson or two in constitutional law. To be impeached, the president has to be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. This is more than perjury, Billie boy's crime. Then, Congress has to pass it and the Senate endorse by a two thirds majority. But guess what. Until those high crimes and misdemeanors take place you are baying at the moon. No crime, no impeachment. The Democrats are not pushing impeachment. Can you guess why? No grounds. Now run along back to school.

As much as I am displeased with his performance, I am not prepared for Chaney to step into his shoes, so I'd have to say no.
Additionally, he really only has a couple of years left, and the cost of the impeachment trials is very high. I never wanted him in office...I never voted for him...I don't believe he's rightfully there. But I don't think it's worth the trouble that impeachment would create.

First of all, the power to impeach is restricted to the Congress. They would have to bring impeachment hearings. It can't be done by petition.
Which brings us to the next question. If the Congress is Democrat controlled and many of the newly elected members were elected on the basis of their stance against the war, don't you think that the Congress would have already started impeachment hearings if they could?
The simple matter is that impeachment of a President occurs after "high crimes and misdomeanors". The reason that there were impeachment proceedings against Clinton was that he perjured himself in a civil case. Now, whether you think that's a "high crime or misdomeanor" or not, perjury is a violation of the law. Therefore, impeachment proceedings.
In order to impeach Bush, you have to state the crime for which he is being accused. Until you can do this, kindly put the impeachment talk away.

Don't like the man, but Bush hasn't committed any impeachable offense and if he was impeached, by the time the procedure is completed he'll be out of office anyway. The libs just want payback for the Clinton investigation which itself was unjustified. The trouble with US politics today is that the Republicrats and Demicans would rather take on each other than the issues that face the country and do what the people want.

It sounds nice but remember they changed all of the laws with the 700 page patriot act. What I would expect will be three or four more congressional hearings about misconduct and the miss-use of power. If you have been watching the news you would get the feeling that they have something up their sleeve with regard to Iran. When Bush starts talking about terrorism I get worried because it seems like it is the ultimate diversion. They have done this about three times already.

Sure, impeach the man because you do not like him, good plan.
For the last time folks, Clinton got impeached for lying in a federal court thus infringing on the civil rights of Paula Jones, not for anything that happened in the oral, uh oval office.

Email petitions are largely ignored by the petitionees. It's too easy to stuff the ballot box with phony names.

Yes, he should be held accountable to the American People. Not honoring the wishes of the voters should not be allowed for four years, sure, but it shouldn't be allowed for less either. He has gone against the newly elected Congress to petition for more troops in Iraq instead of a slow pull-out.
Where's the end?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Did you want his predecessor IMPEACHED? Bush's predecessor had his paws in so many pies, and his Attorney General Janet Reno obstructed, delayed, obfuscated, and tabled every investigation she could!
Larry Flint, magazine pornographer, helped fight the impeachment resulting in 14 female Senators chickening out.
Only Kay Bailey Hutcheson of Texas voted to impeach our first unwrapped rascal president!
I've seen some of Flint's "portraits of celebrities" (CLEAN ONES) so I can imagine what Hutcheson looked like.
