Do you think the president wll get impeached?

As to date only 2 presidents have been impeached. Johnson and Clinton. \nTo make an accusation against. \nTo charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal. \nTo challenge the validity of; try to discredit: impeach a witness's credibility. \nWhen an irate citizen demands that a disfavored public official be impeached, the citizen clearly intends for the official to be removed from office. This popular use of impeach as a synonym of "throw out" (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. As recent history has shown, when a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official's removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted. The vaguer use of impeach reflects disgruntled citizens' indifference to whether the official is forced from office by legal means or chooses to resign to avoid further disgrace.

Yes...the impeachment process is a safeguard.  The president must explain the reasoning for our war in Iraq.  \n\nHe has never explained it.  \n\nFirst it was the WMD's then the war on Terror, then fill in the blank.  \n\nHe works for us, and if he doesn't do his job...he should be fired.

Heckies no, I believe he is the worst president in the history of the United States. He would most certainly be impeached if the democrats had a majority in the house/senate.\n\nIn fact I state right now....IMPEACH BUSH!!!!\n\nSee the link below for a more detailed answer:

To the person who a said about all presidents spy. That is true but its done with approval from congress and judges. Anyway I think most of america wants this idiot impeached! This is a 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%

It would be hard to impeach Bush because it would have to be approved by the House and the Senate. The majority of congressmen in office are on the Right. This is sort of the same reason why Clinton wasn't impeached. Bush has done an exponential amount of damage compared to Clinton and anyone who says that it was passed on from Clinton must not have seen the U.S. budget over the past 40 yrs.

yes because he is going to crash this country into the ground. He is letting the economy rot like a corpse. If we don't impeach him soon- hello second depression.

No, the radical left will insist on wastng time with investigations, and try to impeach Bush even though there is no cause for it.  The bush haters in the dem party of so crazed, they need thearpy.

Bush needs to be impeached.  We can impeach a president for lying about extra martial affairs (and what man WON'T lie about that) but we don't impeach a president who authorizes the illegal wire taps of AMERICAN CITIZENS under the guise of finding terrorists?  He needs to go!  And don't even get me started on our borders!

No, its unlikely to happen, unfortunately.  It was mostly a politcal tactic to get conservatives out and voting.  There was a move a while ago, but Pelosi recently said that the Democratic House would try to reach across party lines.  Given that statement, and the fact that a move to impeachment would probably hurt the democrats politically, its unlikely, I think.\n\nBooger: you do realize that the vice president is impeachable?  A move to impeach Bush would likely impeach Cheney as well since he has had such an active role in Bush's policy.  Even if Cheney did become President, liberals should look at that as a good thing.  Cheney is not nearly so charismatic as Bush, and would be completely unable to pass a conservative agenda.  Bush's strength is in his role as cheerleader.  Cheney's strength is in his role behind the scenes.  Impeaching only Bush and making Cheney president would actually be desriable from a liberal perspective, I think.

Technically, yes, but it's doubtful it will happen. Even if the Democrats got a huge majority in the 2006 elections and decided to start the impeachment process, someone would suddenly remember that this would make Dick Cheney the new President and they'd drop the issue immediatly.

I do not think that he should be impeached. But if he were, it would be for violating the Constitutional rights of US citizens by wiretapping their phones without a warrant from a judge. Wiretapping without a warrant is a federal crime, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.\n\nI would not impeach him, however. He needs to concentrate on running the country. But come Inaugeration Day, 2009, I'd have a couple of D.C. police at the Capitol to take him into custody. He did, after all, violate the law.

Yes without delay.  The list of his crimes against the world and the US is more than long enough to be impeached and tried in the World Court.  It probably won't happen as it has to be weighed against the instability it will cause here and abroad.  The scandal would be incredibly disruptive.  And, in this country, we would rather cover up and keep the public misinformed as we don't seem to have any respect for the intelligence of the public.  Keep them in the dark has been the mantra, even long before JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, etc.

LETS IMPEACH BUSH!!\n\n\n\n(Even though he's done nothing to be impeached for)

It's pretty clear that the president has done some illegal things, such as the warrantless wiretapping.  But only the congress can impeach the president, and as long as the majority of congress are Republicans, they are unlikely to do this.\n\nSo the only realistic way to get him impeached is to elect a majority of Democrats to congress in the fall 2006 election.

I think bush has gone way to far by invading iraq and now the gas prices thing and taxes thing is just outragous. My take is that he should be impeached for what he has done to our country. The figure on our national debt is over 8 trillion and still rising

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.
