1) Here are the articles of impeachment:
1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

8) 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 rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

Iraq. He knew we had no business there so he made up some weapons of mass destruction.
He stole an election, technically the 5 republican Justices gave it to him in a 5/4 party split in the Supreme Court, which is not a legal way to choose a president by constitutional law. (Of course, that is a worthless piece of paper to him anyway)
When Congress wanted him out of Iraq and not to do a troop surge, and the American public agreed, he said he didn't care and demanded the funding anyway, showing the Congress to be anti-troops; which was bull.
He backed Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform/Shamnesty Bill which was in DIRECT violation of the Constitution and actually counts as treason.
A number of illegals are racist La Raza, and want to take at least 7 states from America to form a country called Aztlan. They preach intolerance and Hispanic supremacy.
This bill did not take them into account and was aimed at a form of amnesty for all illegals currently in this country.
The 14th Ammendment Section 3 Specificaly states that his backing and anyone else backing this bill in the Government is guilty of treason. "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice Persident, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
By agreeing and helping push for this bill without provisions for the illegals who are attempting to divide our country, he is guilty of attempting to give aid and comfort to our enemies.
I would say these three items I have listed all are:
1) against the law
2) immoral
3) except for the election theft, the other 2 violate the mandate that the people who voted for him gave him.
And don't tell me the immigration part of this belongs in the immigration section of Y/A, you asked what has he done wrong, that is part of it.

He linked Iraq to 9/11 every chance he got and he lied about the WMDs. He and his administration knew damn well that that link didn't exist, and that the WMDs didn't either. He knew about the WMDs because a land invasion would have been totally, entirely and absolutely out of the question if they actually thought there were WMDs there. (You don't see anyone seriously talking about a regime change in North Korea, do you?)
They knew there was no link between Saddam and 9/11, because plenty of foreign advisers could have told them Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were natural ENEMIES. It's not like it's all Arabs and they knew that. You think the White House doesn't have access to experts on the Middle East?
Yet they lied to the people every chance they got about both of those things. The mandate was therefore given on those premises and is null and void.

If you don't understand this by now, you simply never will.
I would also like you to take a look at bridge I have in San Fransisco. I'm willing to let it go real cheap.

Quite the contrary. In fact, if you recall, immediately after 9/11, Bush had nearly a 95% approval rating. He may have made mistakes, but he has done his best to defend our country during a very difficult time

Against the law: NSA wire tapping, breaching the Geneva Convention.

Immoral: Starting a preemptive war.

He was never given a mandate by the People, Gore won the popular vote which means he had more votes than Bush, I think that negates a "mandate".

George W. Bush has intentionally misled the Congress and public regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war against Iraq, intentionally conspired with others to defraud the United States in connection with the war against Iraq in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371.

George W. Bush has admitted to ordering the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of American civilians without seeking warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, duly constituted by Congress in 1978, in violation of Title 50 United States Code, Section 1805.

George W. Bush has conspired to commit the torture of prisoners in violation of the "Federal Torture Act" Title 18 United States Code, Section 113C, the UN Torture Convention and the Geneva Convention, which under Article VI of the Constitution are part of the "supreme Law of the Land".

George W. Bush has acted to strip Americans of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinate detention of citizens, without access to legal counsel, without charge and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the President of a U.S. citizen as an "enemy combatant", all in subversion of law.

In all this George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

Really...? Have you been living in a cave..? Or is it your Conservative close minded denial that twists your mind in such ways. Lets start..

1.) Lied to congress about WMDs to go to WaR with Iraq. Lie's based on forged documents.. (lying to congress to wage war is a felony.)

2.) Leaked a undercover CIA field agents identity endangering her life and destroying her career. (Treason)

3.) Allowing Halliburton to get an un-bided contract for the reconstruction of Iraq. Then allowing them to over charge the American tax payers over a billion dollars (clash of interests.)

4.) NSA wire taps with out proper authorization. (invasion of privacy)

And thats just a couple of what we know about...

He is standing on a thin line of illegality. He is immoral all the time in my opinion. And he does not believe in polls nor the last election result is any kind of people expressing their opposition to the war.

He merely commuted Libby's sentence so he couldn't testify before congress against him and Cheney. Not to mention trashing the constitution. Take off your blinders.
