Democrats would need to win control of Congress in the upcoming elections. If that doesn't happen you can forget about it. The Republicans would never let it happen.

He lied under oath.  A president can only be impeached when he breaks the law, and this was (as far as we know) the only law Clinton broke while in office.

It would be political suicide for the dems to defund the war.\n\nThey will have to compromise.  Remember, the new dems tend to be more to the center, not the left.  I think they are already saying they cannot impeach Mr. Bush, and they cannot just "cut n run."\n\nLet's hope they keep their senses about them.

Bush has been a liar all his life. As a spoiled rich kid, he's never had to be accountable for any of his actions. His daddy kept him out of harm's way while it appeared he was in military service. With the help of his brother Jeb, and his daddy's friends on the Supreme Court, he stole one election (maybe 2).\nHe's a former drug user and chronic alcohol abuser (his daddy saved him more than once from getting a DUI). \nGeorge Bush lies when the truth fits best. He's arrogant, smug, stupid, and incredibly self-centered.\nThere are only TWO reasons Bush initiated an illegal, unconstitutional ar with Iraq: 1) he wanted to 'get even' for Hussein's humiliating his daddy during Desert Storm, and 2) Dick Cheney wants all the oil swimming underneath Iraq' sand.\n\nBush lies about troop withdrawal. He will NEVER withdraw any troops until Dick Cheney has an iron-clad deal in place to get all of Iraq's oil for his rich friends at Halliburton and Exxon-Mobil.\n\nWhen Bush faces TV cameras, his "deer-in-the-headlights' look gives him away every time. He KNOWS he's lying, and it's as if he's waiting for some card-carrying NRA member to shoot him right between the eyes. \n\nBush and Cheney should be impeached, or tried for high treason. If convicted, the should face a firing squad. Surely, Satan has reserved a special iol-saturated corner of Hell for Bush, Cheney and most members of the current U.S. Congress, the most corrupt, incompetent body to ever occupy the Capitol Building. \n\nCheck out BUSHWACKER! - a new blog at www.blogger.com\nhttp://al-aback.blogspot.com

There isnt enough space to list all! Look at this poll from msnbc!\n\nLive Vote  \n Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?   * 59791 responses  \n \n \n Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.\n87%  \n \n No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."\n4%  \n \n No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.\n8%  \n \n I don't know.\n1%

Bush needs to be impeached, as does Cheney and the majority of the Bush cabinet. He should resign in disgrace and let a more competent centrist person take office.

because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

Actually, tough as this might be to accept there are a number of reasons...\n\n- It has not been proven that he lied\n- It has not been proven that he broke any laws\n\nContrary to conspiracy theories, a republican led congress cannot prevent an impeachment if either of the above occur, or prevent an investigation or judicial hearing should the democrats push for one.\n\nReality, take a deep breath and try to take this in, as we can assume the democrats would drive for this the second they felt they could, it is a fairly safe assumption that President Bush has done nothing that would warrant his impeachment.\n\nSorry to burst your bubble...

Because only Congress can impeach the president. And since congress just happens to be controlled by Bush's republican buddies, there aint a snowballs chance in hell of his getting impeached any time soon. Hes probably going to get away with all the lies and killing... Its depressing really.\n\n\npeace

First off thank you very much for telling the truth on here.  Bush is a great president and there is no reason to impeach him.  Liberals are so unhappy that there is no decent liberal cadidate for president they have to rip apart ours in any way possible, sad huh.  It is worth it for the libs to lie about our country so it looks bad making our president look bad, pathetic.

In order for a President to be impeached he must first be accused of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".  Secondly, the House of Representatives must pass "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority.  Thirdly, the Senate tries the President with the Chief Justice of the Supreme presiding over the hearings.  2/3 of the present Senators must vote for guilt to remove the President from office.\n\nIn the case of George W. Bush, there have been accusations of treasonous activities; however, the House has not seen fit, whether through political loyalty, fear of embarassment or lack of belief in the charges, to file articles of impeachment. That is why he has not been impeached.
