shouldn't bush be impeached?

Answer 1

yes, he should not be inpeached.

Answer 2

To paraphrase Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar, "I need a crime." A president can't be impeached merely for having incredibly bone-headed policies or for mistakes (including criminal mistakes) of executive branch personnel. He must have personally committed something that qualifies as a "high crime or misdemeanor." Nor can he be impeached for statements (however false) made to the public when he was not under oath to tell the truth. While it may take years for this country tor recover from this presidency, I have yet to see a person who can point to the elements of a federal crime and to evidence proving that Bush committed that crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

Answer 3

If there was any way to get the Senate to vote for a conviction based solely on the legal issues, then yes.

Sadly, in this political climate, laws don't matter. Bush ignores them at will, because he's stacked the deck in his favor. He ordered Harriet Miers to ignore a congressional subpoena. That's criminal solicitation to her crime of contempt of congress.

But the law doesn't matter, because even if Congress votes to hold her in contempt, it goes to Bush's hand-picked Justice Department for prosecution, meaning it will never happen.

Bush publicly admitted violating over a dozen federal laws. The Supreme Court has confirmed he's violated federal laws. But the law doesn't matter. Even if Bush were impeached, the Presiding Justice is his hand-picked Chief Justice Roberts.

Bush has very effectively maneuvered it so that he can break the law with relative impunity, because there is no legal recourse. So, yes, he should be impeached. But it's not going to happen, because he's manipulated the system to put himself above the law.

The President is dead. All hail King George.

Answer 4

If Bush (or Cheney, for that matter) were actually found guilty of a crime, say like lying under oath, then chances are that Republicans would support impeachment.

This is because most Republicans, unlike Democrats. believe that law and legitimacy is more important than political party or power.

This is based on factual history, and not left-wing delusion.

Nixon resigned because the Republican Congressional leaders told him to either resign, or they would vote for impeachment and removal.

Clinton retained his presidency because the Democrats believed partisan political power was more important that honesty and integrity in the White House.

Prove me wrong!

Answer 5

Why?

Use the Constitution of the United States as a reference and provide evidence.

Convince me.

Don't just throw a one-liner based on what you may have heard on comedy central, without a logical argument to back it up. It makes you sound juvenile and naive.

Answer 6

Please list his specific crimes. Do keep in mind that after 9/11 one could not expect the US not to go after anyone and everyone involved in it, and keep in mind that Saddam Hussein was asking for it after 12 years of thumbing his nose at the U.N.'s 9 resolutions that he should behave. Not that it was likely the U.N. would have had the guts to send in an army to explain it to him. And keep in mind that we know he had WMDs. We probably sold some of them to him. There are old inspection records showing that he had them. But where are they now???

Answer 7

It is more for his budget fiasco and the long term problems with the economy that I am worried.
It wont work because the Republicans believe Justice is a matter of political perspective. The democrats wont be able to do it on their own.

Answer 8

Yes, he should be impeached.

Answer 9

He should be impeached.

Answer 10

He needs criminally charged with something....

Answer 11

Yes.

It was treason when he allowed terrorists to attack on 9/11 and he did nothing to even try to stop them!
