Can the man be brought to account with a way to make the charges stick? What is a legal way to serve him with documents or apprehend him after he is relieved of office? Where could he be tried? How could he be punished? Thinking caps on, people.

I think that the papers are already drawn up and they are waiting for him to leave office so they can arrest him.
I think Bush believes his get out of jail free card, which is contained in the Military Commissions Act of 2006, will let him change the meaning of torture and backdate it to before the war, but it won't. That Act is unconstitutional and has already lost round 1 in the 4th Circuit Court of appeals!
This Act also prohibits any US court from arraigning him, or have any jurisdiction over him after he gets out of office. That won't fly either!
If it were me, I would sentence Bush to 2 tours in Iraq as a gunner on an unarmored Humvee!
He has bought 100,000 acres of land in Argentina and i believe that is where he will head after his term is up!
Pobept, you are wrong. Bush is the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. There are so many war crimes that Bush has committed you could play spin the bottle!

It it possible. It happened to Richard Nixon after he resigned due to the Watergate scandal. On September 8, 1974, one month after President Richard Nixon resigned the presidency amid the Watergate scandal, his successor, President Gerald R. Ford, announced his decision to grant Nixon a full pardon for any crimes he may have committed while in office.

First problem with your theoretical question is to prove that a crime has been committed. Sense congress approved the war and funds the war, congress all members of congress would have to be named in any inditment charging war crimes were committed!

Yours is an absurd idea. Mr. Bush did not commit any war crimes. Outside of unreasonable prejudice, there is no reason for you to think he did.

As soon as you come up with something, be sure to call all your commie/Lib buddies in the House, no doubt they've been waiting just for you to help them out.
No Crime, no trial.
But you just keep working there Skipper, you'll find something.
What a tool
