This is what our Constitution says about Impeachment:
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
"The House of Representatives . . . shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present."
"Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial,. Judgment and Punishment, according to law."
It doesn’t matter that the president only has about 7 months left in office. During those 7 months, anything could happen, including him sending our men and women to war in Iran. Not to mention the two wars we are currently in – the Generals follow the ‘Commander-n-Chief’s’ orders - always remember that.
Always’ keep in mind what happened after President Bush’s first 8 months in office – we were attacked by terrorists on 9/11. Timing should never be an issue. The security of our nation should be the only factor on when to impeach a President or Vice President.
While I personally believe the President and Vice President should have had articles of impeachment brought against them years ago, it’s never too late to make sure our nation is safe from any more harm they might bring upon us.
If any or all of the articles of impeachment that Rep. Dennis Kucinich put forth yesterday in Congress are true, then President George W. Bush should be impeached. The same goes for the Vice President and the articles that Rep. Kucinich put forth against him.
I’m sure most American’s would agree that if not for the recent impeachment trial of William Jefferson Clinton, our current president and vice president would have been impeached long ago.
Never in our history have two men committed more harm to our nation than these two men and their administrations.
