Answer 1

It's symbolic in nature only.  They have no power to enforce it, but use it as a symbol of their political opinion.

Answer 2

Wow, that city council must be bored.  If I lived there i would vote against my Representative and urge everyone else to do the same. What a joke.

Answer 3

Because we the people matter. It's a good thing, you just don't like it because you like Bush. Chill out bro.

Answer 4

Because many people sincerely feel that Bush should have been removed from office.  Its as simple as that.
