He is an elected official. The people (ok, arguable, the electoral college) voted for him. I certainly didn't, I throw my vote away in the green trashcan, but he is there until the four years are up.
So my opinion is why not find a decent candidate this time around.. and not vote conservatively (not because he is a conservative, but because he was already in office) out of fear we will be attacked again. But what does my opinion matter, right?
I think we should also do away with the electoral college.. but again, I am but one meager voice.

There is this little phrase we use in America you might have heard.
"Innocent until proven guilty."
Until you or anyone else can prove that he has done something not within his realm of power or that he has accomplished a goal using an illegal, not just frowned-upon, method, he cannot be removed. Allogations alone don't make it happen.
He may have done things that aren't the best for this nation, but he did not do them illegally. At least, not in any prosecutable form.
I think if this issue really concerns you, you should research what rights the president specifically has. I think you will be surprised to find there are few he doesn't have.
And as far as those who have been saying it is inaccurate press, lay off them! I and other reporters are doing the best we can. Do you understand what it is like to work with people shutting the door in your face, giving you only heresy to go on, and refusing to give you records and documents that should be open to the public? Do you realize that the government spent more in 2004 creating "secret" documents than in the past decade before that? Those should be the questions on your mind, not hypothetical what-if's, but the what-is questions. Why is this allowed?
We lose our rights because we either don't know them or don't understand them. We can't remove him from office because we don't know what is happening. We don't know our rights. We don't know how to make it happen. The ones who know aren't making it happen, and we don't know how. So until we solve that issue, nothing will happen.

Good question, he is certainly "allowed" to stay until we can "remove" him thru the impeachment process. It seems with all the ammunition we have agianst him with the Iraq war, Scooter/Plame case, warrant-less wire tapping, etc. it would be much easier to begin this process than when Clinton was involved with his impeachment trial. Why not? I'm not sure, but unless we get a strong, diplomatic and charismatic president in 2008, America will end up in economic disarray.

Ummmm...because he was elected to office. In a Democratic Republic, the elected officials stay in office until they are voted out or they commit a crime. Since neither is true at the moment, you're just going to have to go along with the system and stop whining that your candidate didn't win!

Because he has done nothing illegle dumbshit. What he needs to do is get blown in the oral office. That would take away all the media coverage on Iraq (oh wait, I mean Whitewater).
Always the same old shite from the left....

What wrongs had he committed? what crimes has he committed? He was voted into office, and has done nothing to lose his job and the title of President. Why don't you have your democrat senators and congress impeach him - do it the right way instead of protesting everything that he wants to get accomplished and wasting time on trials of his cabinet?

Don't know I've been pushing for impeachment since the "tally" (hahahahaha) of votes in Florida.

"Wrong" in who's eyes? The Dems/Libs? I think that other than the illegal immigration issue he has done a pretty good job.
Just because you and your fellow Libs don't like him doesn't mean you can have a sitting President removed from office.

It doesn't seem right answering such a broad question......
Can you give specifics with supporting links 1st?
