Do you support impeachment for a President who doubles the National Debt?

Question

http://www.lafn.org/politics/gvdc/Natl_Debt_Chart.html

Isn't (or shouldn't it be) a crime for doubling the National Debt in seven years?

If bankrupting the country isn't an impeachable offense, the law needs to be changed.

Answer 1

Yes. I also support it for a President who takes false Intel, runs with it, and tries to justify it after the fact.

Answer 2

Legally it can't be done , period,,,,that's all there is to it.
Apart from the fact it would be impractical and sour the political climate even more, the impeachment process would take a long time, Cheney would become President, he'd appoint another vice president , You Impeach Cheney .......And so on.
Utter incompetence, political rigidity and an utter unwillingness to even consider the now long lasting opinion of the majority of your fellow Americans, A megalomanic desire to rule your people instead of serving them are no ground for
impeachment. Probably because the great, true and patriotic
people who wrote the rules couldn't foresee or even imagine
a GWB like person becoming president.
Only the idea would have probably have doubled them up laughing, they'd think of it as a joke.....and in a sick way ..it is!

Answer 3

I support impeach for a President who commits a crime, like Clinton when he lied under oath to a grand jury. Since our current President hasn't committed any crimes, and his term is almost up, I'd have to go with a "no' on that one. After all, didn't FDR double the national debt in an effort to get the country out of the Great Depression? Now you know as a liberal, you wouldn't support one of the greatest Presidents of all time, according to some, being impeached.

Answer 4

Presidents should be "impeached" more often. There is nothing wrong with impeaching a president, even if he does something stupid like Bill did with his pants. Impeachment is not a removal from office, but an important part of a 3 part Democratic Republic.

Answer 5

This Country has been bankrupt for many years. Look back and see what Bill did the the National Debt.

Answer 6

As much as I dislike Bush, increasing the national debt is not grounds for impeachment.

Answer 7

No.

I support the impeachment of a President who commits "high crimes and misdomeanors", as called for by the Constitution.

I support the defeat of a candidate in an election who doubles the National Debt.

Answer 8

Nixon: Misdemeanors(not reporting knowledge about Watergate Hotel break in.)
Clinton: Misdemeanors(Lying Under Oath,we call that perjury.)
President Bush:no crimes committed.By the way,CONGRESS puts forth the budget,President only approves it.
Try reading a book.

Answer 9

No... while a president's administration controls a lot of the federal budget it must be approved. This is not a dictatorship, other elected officials have some responsible.

Granted, it is mostly the president's responsibility but he could have been stopped within legislative bodies.

Answer 10

I don't know if I support that or not. What I do know is that George Bush is a retard. Democrats are becoming more fiscally conservative than Republicans. If that continues I don't see why the Republican Party is necessary anymore, since social issues or soooooo not real issues. We are becoming slaves to China, while also getting involved in other countries abroad like Iraq and what appears to be a possible involvement in Iran in the near future, unless someone ******* steps up to the plate and denounces it. The question is not can we impeach Mr. Bush, but can we elect Congressmen who can ******* grow a pair and stop this partisan bullshit.

Answer 11

No.

But I support Impeaching Hillary as soon as she is elected.
