He's consulted with his alien buddies...and has introduced articles of impeachment against Bush.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush yesterday in the House of Representatives.
According to Angus Reid, an InsiderAdvantage poll around May 1, 2007, found 39 percent of American voters to favor impeaching both Bush and Cheney, and 55 percent opposed. Analyzing these numbers, Bob Barr, who initiated the Clinton impeachment hearings, said that "this indicates the surprising depth of dissatisfaction with Bush."

On July 6, 2007, a telephone poll conducted by the American Research Group found that 45 percent of American adults favored the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposing the proceedings. In the same poll, 54 percent wanted impeachment proceedings against Cheney, and 40 percent were opposed.

In another July 2007 pool by USA Today/Gallup, 36% of Americans felt there was justification for congress to begin impeachment proceedings against the President, while 62% felt that there was no justification.

A November 13, 2007 nationwide poll by American Research Group found 34% of all voters agreeing that "President Bush has abused his powers as president which rise to the level of impeachable offenses under the Constitution and he should be impeached and removed from office", distributed among 50% of Democrats, 18% of Republicans and 34% of independents. 43% of all voters nationwide agreed Dick Cheney has abused his powers as vice president to the level of impeachable offenses and he should be impeached and removed from office.

Under what guidelines would they impeach him?

He did this last year with Cheney and it went nowhere, obviously. I was listening to the radio earlier and they mentioned that it took 4 and a half hours of reading to get all of this thing on record.

You've got to wonder how people get elected sometimes.

What would be the point of impeachment now anyway? He's gone at the end of January.

Democrats are making McCain out to be the same as Bush. Bush gets impeached, it looks bad on McCain.

they are running out of stuff to waste our tax dollars on, so now they can sit around a debate impeachment which would only cut off like 5 months of service max if they pushed it through really quick, which won't happen b/c nothing is quick in the gov't
