Do you think Impeachment should start with the VP ?

Question

How quickly could it be done if started?

Answer 1

Impeachment takes time to complete but even if it was completed after Bush and Cheney are out of office it should be done. History will show these were the worst president and vice president we have had. If we do nothing it will also show that the American people stood by while these two destroyed our world image, lied to us and took us to war, violated our laws and constitution and all the while we whimpered like kids but did nothing. They need to be removed from office BUT, have you thought about the consequences of their impeachment? Pelosi would become president and I am not sure we would be any better off. History will show we got rid of Bush and Chaney which is a plus but Pelosi can not be a part of the solution. She sounded like a good deal for America but she has turned out to be a flake and incapable of doing anymore than complain.

Answer 2

I don't see any reason to impeach either the Vice President or the President. No one has demonstrated that either has committed a high crime or misdemeanor. One Member of Congress has introduced a resolution calling for the President's impeachment. His name is Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. That resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee (the committee of jurisdiction in such matters) by a recorded vote in the House last week. That is where it will die on the vine.
Impeachment and removal of the Vice President from office won't mean that he will be succeeded in office by the current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi of California. A successor would be named by the President and he would face confimation by the House under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
That's how it is done in this republic. It helps to dampen down visceral hatred of any elected official that has no basis in law and also helps to sooth the impatience of those who have no understanding at all of the Constitution!

Answer 3

With less than one year left before the next election and with Xmas adjournment soon a reality,there simply is not sufficient time to start and complete impeachment proceedingds especially with the razor thin Dem majority in the Senate.There is simple NO momentum for impeachment and it would take months to mount such momentum before even starting impeachment proceedings.

While the Republicans had no problem impeaching Clinton for committing the high crime and misdemeanor of lying about having enjoyed oral sex in the oval office,the gutless,spineless ,repulsive ,offensive Democrats led by Palosi have no intension of impeaching Bush for having committed the HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR of waging an ILLEGAL war of choice all based upon a pack of deliberate filthy/stinking lies that has so far seen the slaughter of over 400,000 innocent Iraqi civilians.

The moral BANKRUPCY of the Democrats and the US public as evidenced by all of this ,is simply disgusting.


That Bush is going to get away with what many REPUTABLE INTERNATIONAL JURISTS are now calling Bush's Iraqi war a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and for him to get away without being charged as a WAR CRIMINAL is a gross injustice.

Answer 4

You would have to have a reason for impeachment. Because you don't like the guy, or you don't like what he is doing, that doesn't count.

Why don't you start this question by stating which law was broken so that impeachment proceedings could begin.

Answer 5

Yes, because most of your problems (and Canada's alike) aren't directly related to your President but instead his other half (or in Bush's case his other 3/4). The president gives the order but most of the time the order is given to the VP to give to the people (often lost in translation). Unfortunately though, trying to convict Cheney of something under Bush's rule will be about as easy as convincing Christians that they're wrong. In politics, it's usually "blame it on someone or something else" or "blame it on someone MUCH FARTHER down the ladder". That's why when Bush screws up, the "people" of his Nation will be dead in the water before anyone even THINKS of accusing him.

Answer 6

Yes, Congress should start immediately on the impeachment proceedings. Cheney's numerous violations of office are indeed very serious crimes, and it is time to drag his criminal activities out of the dark and into the light of day.

Answer 7

I think, you should follow the billions of us tax payer's dollars that have been lost, and that search will lead you to an off shore account that will connect you to all the cronies involved, and they should all be put in jail and waterboarded since they think it's not torcher.

Follow the Money !

Answer 8

YES! Unquestionably. I only hope that we have the time before he starts yet another war based on lies.

Answer 9

I do not like our VP, but what high crimes and misdemeanors can we prove him guilty of?

Answer 10

CCHHHEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ! Look at all the fertile brains that have no clue, see no clue and wouldn't know one if it hit them in their theories.

WHERE'S YOUR PROOF! Oh, in your fertile mind. Which means your mind is FULL OF IT!
