Just found out about possible articles being filed next week. Who knows if this will disappear the way so many things do in D.C.?

There's always the possibility that he'll get sucked into the intake on one of the jet engines on Air Force Two. Less paperwork that way...more compost.

I heard that Kucinich sent out a "Dear Colleague" concerning Cheney, which didn't say what charges would be raised. Will probably go nowhere, but it will be yet another fire for GWB and Cheney to put out.

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Ok, so tell me exactly what crimes did he do??

Kucinich's Dear Colleague letter doesn't specify. That info is forthcoming.

Well, shooting a guy in the face is a crime. At least for you or I it would be.

I doubt the democrats, liberal or otherwise, want him out. The longer he's in, the more his asinine antics further their chances of electing someone in 08.

With his heart, just have Ann Coulter jump out of a doorway and yell, "Booga Booga!"
The sight of her would send almost anybody into cardiac arrest...

I would rather see Bush impeached quite honestly.

, no....his replacement would be worse... Cheney as president???
( BTW I do realize that Bush would have to be convicted by ...)
IV Presidential Succession
Presidents can be removed from office only through death, resignation, an inability to discharge the powers and duties of their office, or by congressional impeachment and conviction on charges of treason, bribery, or other serious crimes. To impeach a president, the Constitution requires a majority of the House of Representatives to vote to send articles of impeachment (written charges) against a president to the Senate. The Senate must conduct a trial of the president. After the trial, a two-thirds majority vote of the Senate is required to convict and remove a president from office......

If he's such a straight shooter, how'd he shoot a man wearing a big orange jacket?
Seriously, he might be thinking of running, but he has no chance.

Maybe you grew up in some way, that causes you not to question anything that is done.
I hope I never do.
I think if Cheney is impeached Bush will be totally lost. I feel certain that Cheney is doing all the work and Bush is doing all the PR.
I knew that Kucinich had asked the people for their input about this.
I think they should be filed on both Bush and Cheney, but I figured it wouldn't be done for either one. I think it would take until the election to get it through, even if it does ever get going (which I doubt).
Many people have been calling for this for several years. Guess Kucinich is going to try to get it done.
Good luck to Dennis, he's going to need it.
