Who are these people who keep calling for impeachment of Bush when there are no grounds?

Question

Are they American? If they are, they should know about grounds for impeachment

Answer 1

As typical in the left, if you can't win by popular vote, you litigate.

Answer 2

Illegal suspension of the writ of habias corpus.

Illegal search and seizure/wiretapping

Illegal no bid contracts to Haliburtion

Fraud via cherrypicking intelligence to mislead the American public to war.

Involvement directly or indirectly in the exposure of a CIA operative (can't be substantiated)

Those are the grounds. Thats why impeachment is being called for by those who recognize that getting if lying about a BJ is impeachable then so is lying about a cause for war, not to mention the other four.

And, to be fair the left won the popular vote. The right won the Supreme Court.

Answer 3

Here are your grounds for impeachment:

"As of October 4, 2006, [Bush] had signed 134 signing statements challenging 810 federal laws." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_statement

By signing these statements, President George W. Bush violated the Oath of office of the Presidency swearing to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

Article I.Section1. of the Constitution states "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

The only legislative authority given to the President is to sign in the affirmative or the negative on the bill, and IF on the negative to provide a list of reasons why so that the apropriate congressional house of origination can reconsider the matter.

That is detailed in section Article I.section7. By altering the intent of the legislation through signing statements, Bush has siezed legislative authority not granted in the Constitution.

Enjoy impeaching our president!

Answer 4

The bottom line is to impeach only takes a simple majority in the House. There is no standard beyond that despite what some will say.

This was voiced by Gerald Ford - a republican when the House was getting ready to impeach Nixon. He resigned first before they did it.

Here's the exact quote: "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."

Answer 5

Oh, no grounds????

1. ) Lied to Congress and the American people to engage in an illegal war (Only Congress has the power to declare war on a country, and they didn't...)
2.) Violated International law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes as well as politcal and personal gain.
3.) Illegally wiretapped his own American people. Then lied about it. And then admitted it. Then lied some more.
4.) Violated the Geneva Convention by torturing POW's as well as creating a way to not give them a fair trial, which is not just in the Convention, but also our Constitution.
5.) Held prisoners without formal chargers, and without legal representation.
6.) Propoganda. Propoganda paid for illegally, with OUR money.
7.) Used uniformed members of OUR military that WE pay for, for the political gain of HIS party.
8.) Put his illegal war ahead of the aid for victims of Katrina.
9.) Has directly disobeyed and practically burned our Consitution, our rights, our liberties, and everything his office is suppose to protect and uphold.
10.) Lied to the ENTIRE WORLD after 9/11, knowing full well that Hussein had NOTHING to do with it.

Answer 6

"As typical in the left, if you can't win by popular vote, you litigate."

Is that right, soldier? Remember the 2000 election? The one where more American citizens wanted Al Gore to be their president than George Bush? Take a guess as to which party flooded Florida with lawyers. You know what a lawyer is, right? Those folks who litigate?

Look, I'm not a "W stole the election" kind of guy. The system is the system, it works much more often than it doesn't. But get a grip, ok?

Answer 7

Apparently, you do not. The grounds for impeachment is high crimes and misdemeanors. Bush is guilty of both and so is his puppet master, Cheyney. Bush has authorized illegal search and seizure activities against Americans in contravention of Amendment IV of the Bill of Rights. He is also in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for the same reaons. If Congress had any guts at all, he would be impeached. What he has been doing is far worse than any sexual contretemps Clinton may have been involved in.

Answer 8

I believe it was a Republican who once said "an impeachable offense is whatever the House of Representatives says it is." Politicians, of course, are very flexible about their definitions.

Answer 9

I am one of them!!

And the blood of 3,596 Americans killed in Iraq should be grounds enough for impeachment, not to mention lying to the American people, illegal wire tapping, and crimes against the Geneva Convention (including but not limited to torture) at Guantanamo.

Answer 10

Oh they are just stupid people grasping at straws.They don't know what impeachment means.

Petey..you are sooooo wrong.Read about it.Clinton lied under oath and also was disbarred.

Answer 11

if having some affair in office got Clinton impeached you have to be insane to think Bush cant get impeached for what hes done.


Mel...Bush wouldn't even talk to people under oath.
