    I would attend to protect this man. I have stood by this administration from the President Regan days. I do not think that when we are unhappy with a person, place, or even thing they become disposable. Educate our President on what you want, need, and/or desire... then ask yourself.... What can I do for this country and dont fault the man, single man, in the position to help you get that job done. Do you want the VP to take his place? We asked him to do a job on 9/11 and he did it. It takes a while to get some jobs done. How long has it taken you to get to where you are today?... and why?

    I did share my thoughts so I think FISA had something to do with my earlier thoughts didn't get posted. What exactly is "Room 641A"? You should go to www.zeitgeistmovie.com and watch parts 2 and 3 in this 2 hour movie to find out WHO was behind the 9-11 attacks! You'd be surprised! Here is another site you should also check out on 9-11: http://letsroll911.org/phpwebsite/
  • doogietyedyez
    Ok, I want to start by saying that our own U.S. Gov't was behind the 9-11 attacks! Go to www.zeitgeistmovie.com and watch parts 2 and 3 in this 2 hour movie and also check out http://letsroll911.org/phpwebsite/ On http://letsroll911.org/phpwebsite/ they talk about 7 World Trade of how it wasn't even touched by a plane and it still collapesed! Could it have been a controlled demo!?..... The U.S. Gov't was thinking about using airliners as missles and was looking into crashing them into high rises! This is mentioned at www.zeitgeistmovie.com! This JACKASS that SOME people call President and the V.P. need to be IMPEACHED ON CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE WORLD!.......... IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR OUR LEADERS TO STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY!

    Hey Jahnka-If you voted, say your piece, if not, oh well, let me ask all of you liberals one question, what would you have done if you were president at the time of 9/11? I'm...just...asking? And reading your post is a complete liberal spin by the folks who don't do their homework and come with the facts. Do I want to get into with you? No, I won't and don't want to waste my time here on EVENTFUL - When I could be out promo'ing my band. So...sit in your coffee shop, eat your Krueller and complain...blah blah blah... If you want to make a difference in this country - RUN! RUN FOR THE SENATE OR THE HOUSE!? DO IT! Then you could Bush as your scapegoat to get into office, vote yourself a pay raise, while Military Housing goes to crap, while beans and bullets are needed for the troops, you'd rather worry about the Alaskan Oil Range-when we could do lateral drilling and NOT hurt the environment, or, wait wait, I'm getting to it...put 50 batteries in a Yugo to make the air cleaner, because you know that we're the biggest investors of dirtying what "clean" air is left in the world... Please...spin spin spin the bottle my little limpchen... I've heard these rants before and you liberals haven't changed. If you look at everything that's happened over the last few years, yeah we have our problems, but if you sprain your foot? Are you gonna blame Bush for that? Here's a little known fact for ya, talk to any soldier in Walter Reed, or any other ARMC, ok? Ask them how they feel, and like me, I would tell you the same thing "I just want to get back to my unit." What would you do armchair democrap to make this country run better. Before you run your mouth, run your numbers. Something LIKE $47-You'd better watch your mouth about the troops there hoss, I'm a vet...and it's $47 bucks for 10K Plates...So check your numbers again, that's 21 cents a plate, and don't you dare take anything away from the men and women and the ones like me before them and like my nephew who is carrying on the torch who fought and died to give you this RIGHT to say your piece. Until you stand post, watch a buddy die, have an IED kill one some of your friends, lost folks in 9/11, been where I'd been, done what I'd done and seen what I'd seen, shut you pie hole and have piping hot cup of SHUT YOUR FACE! Every argument you have is debatable, but really, I want to hear what you would do. What...would...you...NOT THIS OR THAT...what would you do... Until then, salute the flag and continue to march. Oh and to insult someone because of their political party? Isn't that an EEO thing that I once learned in class? Could have swore it was. Something smells bad around here, nope, it's not my fart, it's the liberal stink of bullshit spilling from the mouths of the uninformed.
  • Jahnka
    hamsandwich - you are a mendicant who listens to too much right wing spin. We're not impeaching Bush for being unpopular or an idiot. We're impeaching him for stealing. Stealing the country by 1. rigging the election (& we should indict his brother the gov of FL for ballot tampering & using influence to give the worst kind of ballots to the oldest (and most Democrat) voters in his state) 2. Stealing us blind. All the connections the entire administration has with Halliburton that is sucking this country dry by taking "no bid" contracts in Bush's wars & in New Orleans which takes the money from you, the American tax payer, for every pipe they lay (for "Big Oil" to use later) up to the food they serve the troops the Bush put there something like $47 for every paper plate the G.I.'s use in Iraq, whether they fill it up or just take an extra to cover their meal from the blowing sand I'm no fan of the Democrats either, but how many more "Big Business" & "Big Oil" connections can they satisfy while protesting healthcare and min wage improvements for the real workers of America? How many more Ken Lahey's can you take? As for whether Cheney is worse than the evil we have in the #1 seat (like Cheney isn't the real brains of the operation anyway) we'll impeach him when he steps in (and the next Republican crook after that)
  • hamsandwich
    You are all moronns. Impeach him for being unpopular? For those of you who are ignorant enough to fall for the billionaire-financed propaganda, the only approval ratings that matter are the ones polled every 4 years according to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. And no, waging a war is not a prosecutable offense. The power to wage war and raise armies is one of the expressly delegated powers of government, whether you agree with the aims or the reasons for going to war, or not. If you don't like war, you have your opportunity to make that known every two years in November. This impeachment nonsense is just your bitterness over the fact that your policy preferences were not accepted by the majority at the time of the last election. If they are popular now, you'll have the chance to make that known this November.

    Impeach Bush yourself! This is much more than just a petition. There's a little known and rarely used clause of the in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process. That's where we come in. One of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF. You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Impeach Now! More information on the precedent for submitting an impeachment memorial, and the House Rules on this procedure, can also be found at the above address. If you have any doubts that Bush has committed crimes warranting impeachment, read this page If you're concerned that impeachment might not be the best strategy at this point, read the bottom of this page: Impeach For Peace It just takes a minute to save our democracy.
  • tameka25
    Bush is the worst president the USA has ever produced. I am very sad to say that he was in office when I was alive...I use that excuse for Nixon. Bush you are an arrogant president who never listens to the people that you are supposed to represent. I am very close to becoming a Candian citizen just to escape all of the horrors that you imposed onto our civilation. I voted for Kerry and it breaks my heart a coward like yourself can EVEN call himself the leader of our great country. You ran us straight into the ground. You should be ashamed of yourself Mr. Bush. I know I am ashamed of you.
  • mruser
    Someone needs to contact the performer for this event to happen :)
  • amydemiceli
    36% approval rating. nothing more needs to be said. spread the word. bushco must go. www.noonehastodietomorroW.us
  • cornsniffer
    Well, the President, aka Karl Rove, was brilliant in choosing Cheney as a VP. We don't want to impeach Dubya because people would actually hate Cheney more. Hmm, tough choice. An idiot who thinks he is Gods holy instrument or a vampire that is never seen in the daytime? maybe a vampire will not be so bad.
  • munkyxtc
    SANDMAN = Dick Cheney? Please don't hold the president responsible...blah blah
  • u5er
    "DOES NOT GIVE IN TO EVERY MINORITY DEMAND" Hes the one with the sub 40% approval rating... that means the MAJORITY is looking for this.... (I put it in caps so you could see it :P )
  • cricketboy
    "BEING PRESIDENT IS NOT AN EASY JOB." Perhaps not bro, but taking caps lock off is.
  • SANDMAN
    EVERY TIME A PRESIDENT DOES NOT GIVE IN TO EVERY MINORITY DEMAND,THERE IS TALK OF IMPEACHMENT.BEING PRESIDENT IS NOT AN EASY JOB.EVERY TIME THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE US,THE PRESIDENT TAKES THE BLAME.HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO RULE THE COUNTRY.IF THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS WOULD STAND UP AND FACE THE MUSIC,WE ALL WOULD BE BETTER OFF.

    Oh, maybe 50-100 million. So be sure to email the demand to all your friends and relatives and neighbors and classmates from years gone by and co-workers and every person you bump into in the shopping mall or while standing in line at the Starbucks. And then get them all to email all of their friends and relatives and neighbors and so on. Oh, and get DailyKos to write about this. And TPM. And the other popular blogs. And then get ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC coverage. And New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, SF Chronicle, LA Times, Seattle Times coverage. Oh, and extensive coverage on radio.

    Fark is a nice start, but if you're gonna get critical mass, you gotta think Big on this one. :-)

  • cricketboy
    I'm joining just to demand this event (which will never happen). One question I have, being new, is how many people before this reaches critical mass?
  • chris_radcliff

    Speaking of marketing, you Farkers might want to check out the demands for Wil Wheaton. Help him figure out where to go for his next book tour!

    Demand it!

  • racer_x
    It is an ingenious viral marketing scheme --> for FANS who want some event to happen. They just gotta USE it to "market" their "demand"!

Description
The right to impeach public officials is secured by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Sections 2 and 3, which discuss the procedure, and in Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: “the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”



Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This is because the vice president can hardly be considered a disinterested party—if his or her boss is forced out of office he or she is next in line for the top job!



What are “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”? Bribery and treason are among the least ambiguous reasons meriting impeachment, but the ocean of wrongdoing encompassed by the Constitution's stipulation of “high crimes and misdemeanors” is vast. Abuse of power and serious misconduct in office fit this category, but one act that is definitely not grounds for impeachment is partisan discord. Several impeachment cases have confused political animosity with genuine crimes. Since Congress, the vortex of partisanship, is responsible for indicting, trying, and convicting public officials, it is necessary for the legislative branch to temporarily cast aside its factional nature and adopt a judicial role.
