There were no impeachable offensives. The way it works is that if a President is unpopular, he is not re-elected. If re-elected but then becomes unpopular, a new President is elected at the end of the term. This is how we get rid of unpopular Presidents. A President can be popular but still impeached. Former President Clinton is the example of this. He was indicted on 21 federal crimes and was impeached but he was a popular President. There is a difference and if our schools were allowed to be privatized, a higher percentage of people would understand this.

At this point, it would be a waste of time. If you want Bush impeached, surely you want Cheney impeached as well. All that would take a lot of time, and by the time it's over with we'll be getting ready to swear in whoever gets elected next year.

It requires a two-thirds majority in Congress. That's about 67%. The Democrats have a 51% majority. Unless a lot of Republicans turn against Bush - which isn't likely - it will never happen. The best the Democrats can hope for is to minimize the damage the Republicans can do until the 2008 election.

You need to look up the word "Impeach" and then, you will find that President Bush couldnt be Impeached, because he hasnt commited any crimes!

Because there is no way -- no possible way in the current political climate -- that 2/3 of the Senate will vote to convict.
So, bringing a bill of impeachment is wasted effort, no matter how much evidence there is against Bush.

Because proof of broken law is needed.
Beyond that, it becomes a political game in congress. There is not enough support in congress to impeach him. People would probably vote along party lines.

You're living in the past.
Open your eyes-- this isn't the 80's. This is the present.
Things aren't worse, or better now, only different. If you think the past was a better place, then why do you continue to go on? Blow your brains out - and cut your losses.
Life is in the current - the past is gone. The future is coming. If you can't deal with that == you have a solution.

President Clinton wasn't impeached for his extracurricular activity in the oval office. He was impeached for perjury, an offense that would have landed anyone else in prison.

Because he would need to do some thing that was under the gild lines of Impeachment.

He hasn't committed any impeacable offensives. The Presidency isn't like the California Governor's office where a vote of no confidence can get a politician kicked out and replaced. Bush has to committ a crime, a real one not just a speculative one, then he can be impeached.
edit: sitizenxxx, if he commited a crime, then the dems in congress should charge him with them. How come they haven't charged him and ensured a Democratic win in '08 by engaging in a long drawn out political scandel that would last well over a year?
