From AfterDowningStreet.Org : There is a widespread myth that an impeachment cannot happen in the space of the nine months Bush and Cheney are scheduled to remain in office. But I'm unable to find any past impeachment that took as long as nine months. It's messy comparing one impeachment to another, as they are complicated and varying processes. But a few things are clear: most impeachment efforts achieve important results quickly, without actually achieving impeachment (think Elliot Spitzer or Alberto Gonzales); it is not uncommon for impeachment efforts to begin later in an administration than where we are now (think Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman); while preliminary investigations of the sort that have been done on Bush and Cheney for the past year and a half ca

The prospect of Pervez Musharraf being the first president in the history of Pakistan to be subject to an impeachment trial hangs over his head like the Sword of Damocles.

Well-informed circles in the Zardari-led PPP and the Sharif-led PML-N say the impeachment of Musharraf may move to the top of the government’s agenda, putting behind the restoration of the deposed judges, keeping in view the disturbing signals from the presidency. These circles added that the new parliament could initiate impeachment proceedings against Musharraf on the ch

Late last night, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott issued his long-awaited opinion on questions related to the authority and removal of Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick (R-Midland).
Nor surprisingly, Abbott sided with Craddick. In short, Abbott ruled that the Speaker is a statewide officer and is thus subject to impeachment under Article XV, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution.
However, Abbott did rule that “impeachment is not the only way to remove a speaker,” pursuant to “expulsion” under Article III, Section 11 of the Texas Constitution or “exclusion” under Article XVI, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution, as well as other remedies availiable under Section 665.007 of the Texas Government Code. Of course, Abbott doesn’t say what those other remedies are, but does include this incredible misinterpretation of the state constitution:

He then wanted to vote to send it to the Judiciary Committee where it will die be considered. That motion passed. Now we must wait and see if Rep.

Washington, Nov 2 -
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) announced today that he will be offering a privileged resolution on the House floor next week that will bring articles of impeachment against the Vice President, Richard B. Cheney.
“The momentum is building for impeachment,” Kucinich said. “Millions of citizens across the nation are demanding Congress rein in the Vice President’s abuse of power.
“Despite this groundswell of opposition to the unconstitutional conduct of office, Vice President Cheney continues to violate the U.S. Constitution by insisting the power of the executive branch is supreme.

Extraordinary Rendition: Apologies Are Not Enough By Hank Edson After Two Years, It’s Still Business As Usual The Bush administration’s determined and diseased compulsion to torture ought to be reason enough to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but sadly, it is far from the only reason for taking such politically responsible, humanitarian action. The White House has claimed itself justified in the exercise of a totalitarian brutality that begins with unprovoked shock and awe mass murder of innocent populations, and then swiftly proceeds past torture into the worst nightmares of Joseph Kafka or George Orwell. We are all hopefully aware by now that the depravi ty of the war on terror extends well beyond heinous torture and involves something the administration refers to as: “extraordinary rendition.” Extraordinary rendition consists of the seizing of foreign individuals in the midst of their daily lives, refusing them any communi

"I've always said that impeachment is off the table," I think I can say that most Americans are saying, well put it back on the table. That's what we voted for and made it possible for her to become the House Leader.She started by saying this is the President, the Vice President and now the Republican Congress war. She blamed the Senate as being closely divided and claimed she did not have the political clout or Constitutional authority to unilaterally cut war funding. What then is her role as House leader? What exactly can she do about said war? Yes, it is true that the Senate can be stopped because of 60 votes needed to over ride the President. The House, may I remind the Congresswoman, has the majority and can set which bills will go to the Senate for a vote or vice versa.She stated, the House could simply cut off funding for the war.

See Original StoryRep. John Conyers declared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not stop him from beginning impeachment proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee against a 'long list of people'in the Bush administration, although he did not make a firm commitment to begin proceedings."Nancy Pelosi has impeachment 'off the table,' but that's off her table, it is not off John Conyers' table," the Michigan Democrat said during a town hall meeting in his district Tuesday. "Nancy Pelosi, who I actually supported, cannot prevent me from introducing an impeachment resolution against, well I've got a long list of people who are eligible."Starting this September, hundreds of impeachment activists are expected to descend on Pelosi's office next month to pressure the House Speaker to allow impeachment proceedings.Just maybe someone will persuade Conyers or Pelosie to do what the American citizens want for a change and start impeachment of this administration before it's too late.What
During Bill Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, Gerald R. Ford was asked: “what is an impeachable offense?” His response was essentially: “It’s whatever the Congress thinks it is at any given moment in history.”
This response was not from the 38th president of the US, or the constitutionally elected person to succeed Spiro Agnew as Richard Nixon’s Vice-President in the first application of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment in 1973. Mr. Ford responded as a member of the House of Representatives, Republican Majority Leader for 8 years, and who was first elected as the Rep. from Michigan’s Fifth Congressional District in 1948. Rep. Ford certainly had the credentials to be considered an expert to interpret the constitutional meaning of impeachment, from a legislative perspective at the very least.
He was also a major player in the second presidential impeachment proceedings in the United States’ history. He ascended to leadership as a result o
The nation should be able to remove by an orderly constitutional process any president with an unyielding commitment to failed policies and an inability to renew the country’s hope.
That said, Robert Daliek suggests an amendment to the Constitution, Ouster By the People that would be a workable alternative to the awkward and lengthy impeachment procedure: a recall process that is now available in 18 States (remember Gray Davis in California?).
The political argument against Bush’s continuing tenure is not frivolous. There are good reasons to see him as a failed president whose remaining time in office will be unproductive at best and destructive to the country’s well-being at worst.

Its funny to watch the liberals floundering around so publicly. Well, maybe floundering isnt the perfect descriptor. How about its funny to see them masturbating in public this way. Because thats just about what it is for them. Impeachment has become the Holy Grail to Democrats as surely as the search for the chalice of Jesus became the Holy Grail for knights of the middle ages. And while in the minds of the Democrats George Bush and Dick Cheney are responsible for all evil in the world they still have to be proven guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors to make impeachment even possible. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has said that impeachment, much to the chagrin of moonbats everywhere, is off the table at this time. The reason she has said this is because they dont want to muddy the waters of the Democrats first term back in the majority with what would be incredibly messy proceedings. She is a realist and knows that George Bush will be looking for other employment a
By: Ms. Latina ReneeGreetings! Thank you for reading George Bush's Impeachment. I read in the Herald Tribune, that George Bush had Five (5) Polyps removed during his cancer screening. The article mentioned that it was his second procedure of the same. Let's pray for him!Now that George is Out Of the Way, Thank God, What's the Status On Dick's Impeachment?Here's the word from Democrats.com:We've reached the impeachment moment for Vice President Dick Cheney. We've pushed the cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 up to 14. Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more he'll begin the impeachment proceedings. And many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney's chief
John Nichols, author and political journalistWhen I go out across America, what I hear is something that's really very refreshing and very hopeful about this country. An awfully lot of Americans understand what Thomas Jefferson understood. And that is that the election of a president does not make him a king for four years. That if a president sins against the Constitution-- and does damage to the republic, the people have a right in an organic process to demand of their House of Representatives, the branch of government closest to the people, that it act to remove that president. And I think that sentiment is afoot in the land. (Read More)Bill Moyers recently interviewed John Nichols (quoted above) and Bruce Fein regarding the activities of our president and vice-president. Here is the transcript.According to Bruce Fein, Cheney has... Asserted Presidential power to create military commissions, which combine the functions of judge, jury, and prosecutor in the trial of war crimes.
Another Republican, this time an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan, has come out in favor of impeachment. It takes all kinds, apparently.
Dr. Lawrence Britt has studied the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, France, and others and has come up with 14 defining characteristics of a facist state. By my count, America currently embodies or has started down the road on at least 11, and I think I’m being generous.
Bush has laid out guidelines for CIA interrogations. While ruling out the harshest of techniques, I still wouldn’t go so far as to say he don’t torture prisoners overseas.
To bring Hezbollah into the political process, why shouldn’t Israel give it what it wants?
From The Blogs
Even if we held those who refuse to appear before Congress in contempt, couldn’t Bush simply pardon them?
Of all the major media outlets, only one questioned whether we should go to war with Iraq. Care to guess which one? That’s right, it was Oprah!

The likelihood of Congress starting impeachment hearings against President Bush seems low at the moment. Even though impeachment hearings require only a majority vote in the House of Representatives to get started, something the Democrats could easily muster, party leadership has repeatedly come out against it. Nancy Pelosi couldn’t be any clearer when she said, “that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it.”
The oft cited reason for not impeaching Bush is that even though he has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the standard required for impeachment (see NSA wiretapping, the Valerie Plame leak, misleading intelligence in the run up to Iraq), most democrats continue to maintain that they have more important things to do with their time. Senator Russ Feingold pretty much sums up the thinking:
I believe that the President and Vice President may well have committed impeachable offenses. But with so many important issues fa
Senator Boxer Backs Possibility of Bush ImpeachmentThe audio/video at Breitbart is Senator Barbara Boxer on Ed Schulz's radio show bloviating about chimpeachment. Obviously I am no longer a Bush supporter but these moonbats even make me chuckle. They have such terminal cases of Bush Derangement Syndrome that they will still be wanting to impeach Bush a couple of years after he is out of the White House. Hell, they will be demanding he be impeached when he's in the ground. Moonabts I swear. ~RJH Breitbart TV News
(APJ Photomontage) BARBARA BOXER: Yeah. I mean, you left out a bunch of things — spying on citizens without a warrant, going around FISA, on and on. Look, I have always said it should be on the table. Ed, I’ve always said it. I was on a book tour and I ran into John Dean of Watergate fame. He was on the book tour that I was on, for his book. And it was right after we discovered that the administration was spying on our people without a warrant. And he just said, he looked at me and basically just said, as far as he could see, unless there was some explanation for this, this was impeachable.I’ve always said that you need to keep it on the table, and you need to look at these things, because now people are dying because of this administration. That’s the truth. And they won’t change course. They are ignoring the Congress. They keep signing these signing statements which mean that he’s decided not to enforce the law. This is as close as we’ve ever come to a dictatorship. Whe

He has subverted government processes to lead us into this tragedy in Iraq, and is now seeking to do the same with Iran. Two countries, mind you, he did business with while CEO of Halliburton.

No Jail Time for Libby? It's Impeachment Time for Cheney and Bush! There's only one reason why Bush kept Libby out of jail: to keep him from ratting on Cheney and Bush about their direct involvement in the felonious outing of Valerie Plame. In mob circles, it's called silencing a witness. In a courthouse, it's called obstruction of justice. And in Congress, it's called grounds for impeachment. Just ask Richard Nixon. On TV, the Busheviks are telling even more lies to drown out talk of impeachment. Via email, Democratic "leaders" are feigning outrage to avoid calling for impeachment. That means it's time for us to demand impeachment. Let's make this "Impeachment Summer!" Don't waste your time calling the White House (the switchboard is closed anyway).

Americans are no longer tolerating the tyranny imposed by the Bush Administration.I am happy to see an actress come forth to proclaim that our union needs to be saved.

Imagine someone in the year 2020 watching these two video's, which one of the two would they say were grounds for impeachment?I recall Rep. McKinney speaking out against this President in the House for the last time and telling us what some did not know.She was made out to be the bad person by both the Republicans, the media and others... I will admit, she had her own problems, but she gave us the truth and a lot of us ignored it.Imagine someone in the year 2020 watching this video and wondering, what was wrong with the American People?What say you?
This poll from today's MSNBC Live Vote is very telling indeed. What's interesting is the forcefulness of the question. It's not do you approve of the job the President is doing but should he be impeached. That's a much more polarizing question and yet 88% still say he should go. Maybe people don't understand what impeachment is. By this poll, Bush's popularity rating is 12% (if you include the I don't knows). Technorati tags: impeachment, bush, politics, voting, life

39% supporting impeachment proceedings against the President and Vice President.To be honest, that number surprises me, I thought it would be closer to 25%-30%. Impeachment is a big deal, if that percentage of the population supports it (which is higher than the President's approval rating,) that indicates to me a major abhorring of this President by his people.
Thousands of people have called Speaker Pelosi’s office today asking that Bush and Cheney be impeached. No, this was not a random coincidence. A blogger on Guerilla News Network posted earlier today claiming that Speaker Pelosi was conducting a phone poll asking people to call her office if they wanted impeachment. This story quickly spread around the Internet, making the front page of popular social news sites digg.com and reddit.com. Now that Betaflow has debunked the validity of the poll, the question remains: Can mass phone calls of this kind influence politicians on an issue like this?
This is what we know:
Those that made calls indicated that the woman who answered the phone was very nice, if not amused by the ordeal.
Sometime before 8pm Eastern, after the number was redirected to voicemail, the mailbox was full and not accepting any more messages. I have to assume this indicates that a significant number of people left messages, since members of congress receive a he
