Should the president be impeached for spying on Americans?

Could you please provide me with the name of 1 American citizen that "the president" spied on?  The president did NOT snub the law as many of you like to say in this section.

They already have a law in place to listen to calls for 72 hours before they get a warrant. It's the FISA law. And the president is to obey the law, just like us.Without oversight, the president can wiretap anybody he wants. That is what got Nixon in trouble and caused the creation of the FISA law.

No, just because it is not logistically sound. Only the U.S. House can impeach a President, and there are enough votes there for it. But that does not remove him from office. He would then stand trial in the Senate, where a 2/3 majority vote would be needed to remove Bush from office. There are not enough votes in the Senate for that. Therefore, it would just be a waste of time for the Congress, and a waste of taxpayer money.

Last time I checked, over 60% of americans approve of warrantless spying by the gov't.  Oh well, we get the gov't we deserve.  \n\nMore americans should read 1984, Animal Farm and a history of the US Constitution.  They would change their attitude.

No, he should not be impeached, he has done nothing that is illegal.  Too bad he has so many fairweather fans, everyone loved him after 9/11, and now....have people forgotten?  \n\nDon't forget that our brave men and women in the armed services are there by choice, not by any type of draft, and to sit home on your computer and whine about what is going on over there is an insult to them all.  It will be interesting to see how Bush is written about in the history books, everyone will probably love him in ten years when we see the good he has done...\n\nI get so tired of all the answers taken directly from "the daily show".....come on people, it's on Comedy Central, and bills itself as the fake news..   Read a paper.\n\n\nand p.s. to the people out there trying to make ends "meat"....maybe if you worked harder and educated yourself, you would be one of the "rich" people.  I certainly am not, working single mom (hate that term), and also going to school---not living off of the government, not expecting a handout...willing to work for what I have.  And you can bet that when I am done and making more money, and paying more income tax, I will deserve a bigger tax break.  It's only fair, right?

Of course George Bush should be impeached. Richard Nixon ans Bill Clinton were impeached for a whole lot less then this criminal Bush. This man has a laundry list of corruption. Look how his true self is coming out on the news about Donald Rumsfeld, Bush is a psycho.

No, I believe Nancy Pelosi, who has said they will not be seeking impeachment.  She expressed there is too much to accomplish to let the Congress get snarled up in impeachment proceedings.  I think she's right.  I'd like to see him impeached, I think he richly deserves it.  But, I'll respect the Democrats more for turning their full attention to the war, the economy and our safety in this country than for seeking revenge.  On a side note, Bush already invited Pelosi to lunch, I couldn't believe the fit of giggles that gave me lol.

First, a member of the House of Representatives has to introduce a bill to form an impeachment panel.   This has already been done; the bill has been presented by Democratic Congressman John Conyers and has 29 co-sponsors. \n\nIf there’s enough support to form the panel, the panel conducts an investigation to see if there is grounds for impeachment.\n\nThose grounds for impeachment are, "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."\n\nClarification continues, ". . . those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself." \n\nThis would include going to war for political gain and the disenfranchisement of voters, both of which I believe President Bush has done and can be proven.\n\nContinuing, "[I]f the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty; . . ."\n\nHis connection with Ken Lay and Tom DeLay could be considered suspicious and I believe by defending them as he has done, Bush would be inclined to protect them.\n\nHere’s the main foundation for advancing with impeachment procedures against President Bush, "...must certainly be punishable for giving false information to the Senate. He is to regulate all intercourse with foreign powers, and it is his duty to impart to the Senate every material intelligence he receives. If it should appear that he has not given them full information, but has concealed important intelligence which he ought to have communicated, and by that means induced them to enter into measures injurious to their country, and which they would not have consented to had the true state of things been disclosed to them, -- in this case, I ask whether, upon an impeachment for a misdemeanor upon such an account, the Senate would probably favor him."\n\nThere in no doubt, by his own admission, President Bush gave false information to the Senate about Iraq.\n\nHere’s a complete list of grounds for impeachment which President Bush can most likely be proven to have committed:\n\nBush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq. \nBush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens. \nBush violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes. \nBush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war. \nBush held prisoners without formal charges and without legal representation. \nBush used government funds for domestic political propaganda.\nThe Bush team used uniformed military personnel for Republican party political purposes.\nBush was negligent in his slow response to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. \nBush shows contempt towards our Constitution and our democratic ideals. \n\nThen after the panel concludes their investigation, the results will be presented to the House of Representative for a vote.

Yes, of course he has broken the law.  Regardless of his representations to the contrary, there is no such authorization in the Constitution, in case law, or in the statutes or regulations.  His behavior is impermissible and he should most definitely be impeached for illegal wiretapping and, if found guilty, be removed from his office in disgrace.

It would restore some of our credibility with the rest of the world to impeach him.  Then they would know America truely repents for being an invading, murdering nation.

look at the war. look at the needless deaths. look at the economy. he should be impeached immediately.

if you mean impeached, then no he should not be.\n\nhe hasn't really been a good leader for the US, but that isn't something that causes an impeachment.

I agree with your assesment.\n\nIf Bush knowingly lied to the American people, and approved of high civilian casualties.....then he should be impeached and charged with war crimes.

Bush is not spying on people he's spying on suspected terrorists.  Truely no one in their right mind would want our security forces to ignore a call from Osama directly into the USA?  \n\nDemocrats need to suspend their hate of all things republican and pretent for the moment that the president is Clinton.  If you would be ok with clinton securing your borders by investigating terrorists then pls drop the sky is falling attitude.

Yes, he lied about the reasons to go into war which has caused the deaths of people he is sworn to protect. If Clinton could be impeached for lying about his private sex life, then Bush can be impeached for some far more sinister.
