Our form of Democracy has elections at specified times and we do not dissolve our government and hold elections at any time we want.  George W. Bush will be in office until 1/20/2009 when his term ends and we will then have a new president because he will not be able to run again for president.  We have a 2 term limit for our President and he is on his second term.  Starting sometime during late 2007 we will start to see candidates who want the job of being president and we will begin going through our Primary process where we determine who will get each Parties Nomination for the Office of President.  We will hold our National Elections in November, 2008 and a new president will take office on January 20, 2009.  Until then you will have to dislke Bush, after that I don't know who it is that you will dislike, but I know that you will dislike him or her as they will be American and will continue to hold the same values as Bush holds as far as keeping our country safe.  Do you know what makes America Great, it is because not only will you be able to hate our new president but so will we if we want to. It is not against the law to hate our leaders, can you say the same for where you live?  Probably not.  I am glad that you asked this question because it shows the way that you think, you addressed this to your fellow Americans, yet you had no idea how the country works.  This tells me two things immediately, one is that you do not have good enough English to pass the citizen test, and second if you had even failed a U.S. citizen test you would know more about it than you do.  The one thing that I hope that you understand most about my answer is yes there are many American's who do not like our President or agree with all of his policies, however more American's will agree to stand with him than against him and even if we get a new President from another political party they will still be American and continue down the path that we are on.  If you do not want America to expand its war on Terrorism stop terrorism and we will stop.  As long as you chant Osama bin Laden's name and cheer for him to attack America again you are not helping your cause at all.

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.

There's no such thing as a national referendum. There's no process to do something like that. In order to make any substantial change to the way government operates in the US, Congress would have to pass an amendment to the constitution by a 2/3 majority and 3/4 of the states would have to ratify it.

Yes, that is the crux of democracy is a Govt. for the people,by the people and of the people.But the president administration doesn't seem to follow that, what with all of the secret dealings and spying on its own peoples.Passing laws and tax breaks that only benefit the rich.Elections are coming in Nov. for house and senate, hopefully there will be a change.There trying to come on strong now and act like they're "shaking things up" to me, it's a little to little to late.We need a Govt that listens to it's people and doesn't act like it's above the law and can make it's own rules as it goes.The founding fathers must be turning in their graves.

Quick Fact: The USA is a Constitution-based Federal Republic.\n\nI believe that a government should (almost) never manipulate the truth, unless the lives of millions are at stake.  Then I don't want to know till it's over.  If you manipulate the truth, which IS lying, no matter what the government tells themselves, you have the possibility of losing the trust of those who gave you the job, if they find out.\n\nIf you lead a country well, and have the trust of the nation, if you make a mistake, you need to own up to it.  If it was a well-intended mistake, the people might forgive you (either immediately or over time), or they may choose to remove you.  On the other hand, if you lie to the people, and you get caught, chances are you'll get punished.\n\nNot only would you get punished, and loose any trust you've gained from the people, but you may cause a ripple effect in which the people generally become distrustful of their current elected government.  This can span from a party loosing an election, to a drop of active voters, all the way to a government overthrow.  When you're in such a powerful condition, anything you do can cause a ripple effect.\n\nAnd of course, in my use of the directional word "you", I would be referring to any President or Congressman, or any other elected official who finds themselves in this predicament.

Why not. He's already stripped everything off most of us Americans.Might be nice to see him do something positive that would reflect his administration and how he handles his job. TAKE IT OFF!!!!

A petition wouldn't do crap.  It's up to congress/senate to impeach any president.

By "us gov" I assume you mean the current administration.  Or do you mean to include congress?  In either case, the answer is generally, no.  I'm terribly disappointed.  Or rather, not really disappointed, because I did not expect much from GWB.  But the structure of our government is still pretty good, and our Constitution is just fine, thank you.  Don't you wish the current crop of idiots paid attention to it once in awhile?\n\nThe problem I see in this country is that the vast majority of voters figure their choices are limited to the two largest parties.  Problem is, they have been trading off power trips and making back-room deals between them for so long, that does not give us much in the way of a choice.\n\nBut we have a strong and promising third party coming up fast: the Libertarian Party.  We libertarians believe that a government should be small enough to fit inside the Constitution.  We would disassemble the beaurocracy, stop butting into other countries' business, and trust the individual adult citizen to make his or her own choices about private matters.  We believe market forces would solve many of the problems that protectionism and favoritism only make worse.  And we believe that taxes should be eliminated if possible, or at least reduced to no more than it would take to run those operations that cannot be accomplished any other way.  \n\nIf the state can do it, then the feds should let them.  If the county can do it, the state should let them.  If the individual can do it, then let him alone.  If the individual cannot do it, let voluntary organizations and other structures at the local level help.  Because the larger the unit set with the task of solving a given problem, the less efficient it will inevitably be.  Perhaps the coordination necessary for defense operations would require a federal structure, but I personally cannot think of anything else that needs to be done on such a scale.  Can you?

It isn't about rights as Americans it is about human rights. The answer is a resounding no. Our country is based on a rule of law and the president and his goons have found a way to circumvent it. This is for now, with the democrats in power we could see a return to law and order.

Same with me, man. I was born in the states and when i moved. But i discovered it ever since bush gor elected. I mean the guy doesn't help the US' he makes it worse. And yes, I agree with you. That's what we get for freedom.

i know there would some details and such to work out, and it could get a little chaotic, but i've often thought that a president should get auto-booted out of office when his approval rating drops below 50%.  he is after all suppose to elected my a majority of the people and to serve the people.\nmight keep more politicians on track instead of seeing a government office as a way to further their careers and wallet.

Get a grip.  Executive orders have been around since the birth of the nation.  The US isn't about you or anyone else.  If you or I should die to further the cause of the US, then so be it.  And that goes for anyone else to, lest people think the USA won't get by without them.

I couldn't agree more, vote all the repuglicans out of office, never let them rule anything again. They are dangerous to America.

It would require a complete overthrow of the constitution, which would require that 2/3 of both the House and Senate agree to a rather detailed ammendment revising the relevant articles and 3/4 of the states ratify it.\n\nI think the current system is superior to the parliamentary system in that the President's position is more stable than most country's prime minister positions. Since he is the chief executive and commander in chief, it is much more essential that his position is secure until the next election.\n\nMoreover, our constitution already provides for a method of the legislature to remove the President. Because our president's policy is not based on how well the legislature approves of it, a situation which strengthens the separation of powers, a simply vote of no confidence makes no sense. Instead, the president only should be removed for violating the laws, which is already provided for in the impeachment process.

There is no provision in the Constitution for a recall of the President.  The only recourse against a President is impeachment which is done by the Congress.  In order for the public to have the President removed, they would need to pressure their Congresspersons to impeach him.

Well I agree that the ballot box is the answer...however well written letters to Senators, Congressmen, and other political figures asking for impeachment on the grounds of blatant lyiing to the public would be good.  Problem is that people have bought into the whitewash job his adminsitration has done on the Iraq war and don't believe he lied.  That's why there are so few of us that realize Bush is nuts and his governance of us is seriously flawed and write to say so, but are told we're unpatriotic and that we'er unsupportive.  I have to be unsupportive when I don't agree with what is going on so does that make me unpartirotic?  What ever happened to the freedom to respectfully question authority/government?

Yes, it should be up to the states definitley but maybe even local governments. Why should someone in DC dictate what I do with my mind? Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in his grave.
