The impeachment process is by popular vote or an act of Congress, which is sorta popular vote.
It is a criminal charge, so it must be en-acted.
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Demands for impeachment
While actually impeaching a federal public official is a rare event, demands for impeachment, especially of presidents, are extremely common,[1] going back to the administration of George Washington in the mid-1790s. In fact, most of the 63 resolutions mentioned above were in response to presidential actions.
While almost all of them were for the most part frivolous and were buried as soon as they were introduced, several did have their intended effect. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon and Supreme court Justice Abe Fortas both resigned in response to the threat of impeachment hearings, and most famously, President Nixon left office after the House Judiciary committee had already reported articles of impeachment to the floor. In January 1843, the House defeated a motion to form a committee of impeachment of President John Tyler vote of 84 in favor -127 against.[2] In addition, the original mandate of the joint committee investigating the Iran Contra affair was to look for evidence that might lead to the impeachment of President Reagan.
In December of 2005, Rep. John Conyers chaired a subcommittee on possible impeachment actions against President George W. Bush.
In April of 2007, Rep. Dennis Kucinich submitted a resolution (Resolution 333) to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney; like all resolutions, his resolution was referred to a Committee (in this case, the Judiciary Committee) and the Committee has no plans to schedule debate or a hearing on his resolution.
A recent survery of 1,100 Americans conducted by the American Research Group "found that 45 percent support the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposed, and a 54-40 split in favor when it comes to Cheney." It had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
When it is 50/50 split, no marches can subvert the truth. olpinions can be swayed, actions taken, kinda late in the game for that.
You can vote.
That is kinda fair.

File a complaint in Congress and support it with evidence so that the official can be impeached.

Do you want to see Dick Cheney impeached for his high crimes and misdemeanors?
I sure do. Imagine how much more damage he can do if left in office for another 18 months.
Send a letter to Congress using the link below:
