3. I think I've gone over the edge
I was trying to remain rational about impeachment but the longer this guy stays in office the more damage he will do.....he may destroy this country if we let him stay for three more years....

ergo....

begin impeachment proceedings NOW!

9. I'm pretty sure the last War Criminals put to death...
were hung, not injected. I'll let the Tribunal decide. Giving GWB a trial is far more than he's given to the thousands whose blood stains his hands.

8. Impeachment requires a charge of high crimes or misdemeanors
and ain't no Repug Congressmen, save maybe one or two, would ever admit to themselves IMHO that a Repug president had committed even one of one or the other no matter the circumstances, no matter how compelling the evidence.

13. According to the Constitution, he can be removed for his
inability to discharge his duties. This President has abundantly displayed that inability over and over again.

12. We should move ahead on this, but we have to get
Cheney too.

Excerpted from the U. S. Constitution.

Article II
..Section 1. < Removal>

In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

Amendment XXV

Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Otherwise, what are we waiting for?
