Give 5 reasons why George Bush should be impeached.?

Answer 1

1. Bush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq.

Bush and his team deliberately misled Congress and the American public about the rationale for invading Iraq. Bush convinced a majority of Americans that Iraq was involved with Al-Qaeda and responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Yet the evidence shows that Iraq was not involved. Bush said in his State of the Union Address that "The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" to build nuclear weapons. But he had already been told by the CIA that the evidence was forged. Bush claimed to have hard evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. But the UN investigators could not verify any of these claims and searches of Iraq revealed no such weapons. The real reason we invaded Iraq may have more to do with the fact that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world, and sits strategically in the center of the Middle East.

2. Bush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens.
George Bush authorized the NSA to conduct illegal wiretaps on American citizens. Bush claimed that these were justified on the basis of national security. But there is a legal mechanism for conducting emergency wiretaps followed by court approval within 72 hours. Bush ignored that mechanism and exceeded his executive authority. Bush claims he has authority to wiretap anyone he wishes but a federal judge ruled that his actions are unconstitutional.

3. Bush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war.
Bush and his team have set up a system of prisons around the world where prisoners can be tortured. They have fought hard to build a legal case for torture but the fact remains that torture is highly illegal. It is also considered an ineffective means of getting reliable information from a prisoner. Bush is guilty of violating of the Federal Torture Act, the UN Torture Convention and the Geneva Convention.

4. Bush violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes.

5. Bush held prisoners without formal charges and without legal representation. [CNN]

6. Bush illegally used government funds for domestic political propaganda related to the administration's Medicare package, paying commentator Armstrong
Williams, etc. [NYT,] TruthOut:

7. Bush used uniformed military personnel for Republican party political purposes. [TalkingPointsMemo] [Coloradoan]
8. Bush was negligent in his slow response to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

9. Bush shows contempt toward our Constitution and our democratic ideals.

10. Bush lied about the fish.

Answer 2

Made a preemptive military strike on a sovereign nation after having spun the facts to suit a belief that did not exist.

Abandoned the FISA regulations and obtained warrant less wiretaps, a violation of federal law. (he knows its a breaking of the law, that's why he wants immunity for the comm companies that helped him)

Authorized torture that went against the Geneva convention.

Stood behind an Attorney General who played partisan politics with his office to the betterment of the republicans and the detriment of the democrats

Refuses to accept the separation of powers set out by our constitution by invoking executive privilege when he has no right to executive privilege.

Failure to produce information necessary for Senate and Congress to make informed choices on issues of national defense by declaring anything that may be embarrassing as "classified".

Answer 3

Ask the white house Lawyers, they are always fighting off law suits

Answer 4

I can give reasons on why he should be impeached.
But I'll tell you one good reason why he shouldn't be.
By the time they have they have subpeona witnesses, hold hearings, hear testimony, deliberate and so on....he would already he out of office...so in other words it would be a waste of time and tax payer money. And I doubt the Presidental Candidates would want the distractions during their campaigns nor the inconviance of having to go testify and having their dirty secrets come to light (Hilary). So, that is the good reason as to why.

Answer 5

Show one crime that he has committed and been convicted of that fits the criteria for impeachment....

we'll be waiting a LONG time, because there is none

****
coranth

Just because you wish crimes to have happened, does not make it so... PERIOD....

The fact is simple, that there have been ZERO crimes committed and convicted for Bush....

And if you doubt this, you would have QUICKLY seen the Dems all over that like stink on a monkey... impeachment would have INSTANTLY been started.... no questions asked... but this is not the case....

Go back and put on your little tinfoil hats with the rest of your conspiracy theory buddies

Answer 6

1) The Offense of Lying and Inducing America to Support a War

President Bush and Vice President Cheney intentionally misled the Congress and the American people regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war against Iraq, and 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.

2) The Offense of Reckless Indifference to the Lives and Welfare of American Troops

President Bush and Vice President Cheney failed to provide US soldiers with bulletproof vests or appropriately-armored vehicles and had no serious plan for the aftermath of the war, thus demonstrating a complete disregard for the welfare of the troops and the need for proper governance of a country after occupation. The result has been a never-ending war that will cost U.S. taxpayers over $1 trillion with over 3,000 U.S. soldiers killed and over 21,000 wounded.

3) The Offense of Torture in Violation of U.S. Laws and Treaties

President Bush and Vice President Cheney 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.

4) The Offense of Wiretapping Surveillance in Defiance of the Law

President Bush and Vice President Cheney 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.

Answer 10

Violation of federal law (18 USC 2441), as confirmed by the US Supreme Court. See Hamdan v. Rumsleld, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld.

Violation of federal law (18 USC 2511), as confirmed by his own admissions, and by federal district courts. See the warrantless wiretapping cases.

Violation of the 6th Amendment, as confirmed by his own admissions, and by federal district courts. See Padilla v. Rumsfeld.

Violation of his oath of office, and constitutional requirements in Article II, by refusing to see that the laws of the US are faithfully executed -- by his own signing statements refusing to executed and implement any law that he disagrees with, after signing it into effect.

That's at least four direct violations that can be objectively and absolutely proven -- having general contempt for the American people is a fifth grounds.
