If we are so unhappy with bush as president why wasnt he impeached?

Question

have we forgotten that we have the right to protect our country from the harm a bad president can do? why was his administration allowed to let us down with healthcare, economy, war, etc?

Answer 1

Because the government is dirty right along with Bush.

Answer 2

Impeachment requires the president to break a law and apparently none was.

Answer 3

Because the US Constitution is very specific on what is required to impeach a sitting President.  Not liking policy is not one of those reasons.

Answer 4

Even though the House could legally impeach the President (the Constitution isn't really specific about what is necessary), there's no way the Senate would convict without evidence of a crime.

Answer 5

Because President Bush hasn't broken any laws.  You cannot impeach someone because you don't like them.

And, if President Bush is a "war criminal" so is EVERY Congressman and Senator that has ever voted to fund the war, or voted for it to begin with.

Answer 6

Because we're at war. We cannot give our "enemies" any ammo to use against us. =P

Don't bite the hand that feeds.

Support our troops.

Get Er Done!!!!

But seriously, look how many people drive Hummers, feed their children McDonalds, buy products made under sweat-shop conditions, etc....and sit idly by while Millions of dollars are wasted and thousands of human beings die in Iraq  (from which no Americans will ever benefit). People have see no connections/consequences to their destructive actions.

No one cares...just jingle some keys in front of the bewildered herd and you can do whatever you want.

Answer 7

The Speaker of the house has to go forward with it but since she  doesn't have the balls I guess He's going to get away with it. But he needs to be charged just like Sadaam was in world court for all of the innocent Iraqians death and murder for a war that still isn't justified.

Answer 8

Cuz it's funny to see what stupid thing he comes up with next :]

Answer 9

because you can just impeach someone because he disappointed you...

The government's job is NOT to provide healthcare!!

The economy is fine! Businesses fail everyday. Why are they getting so much attention from the news media now? Because the news media is liberally biased and they spend all their time lying to ruin people.

The war was warranted. We have tons of congressmen and women who are complaining about the war and how it was wrong of Bush but doesnt it bring up one more question? Why did congress fund the war if it was wrong and illegal and so horrible like they are saying now?

No they didnt lie about WMDs...

Congress just released documents on June 21, 2008 that said WMDs were found in Iraq

Answer 10

We are unhappy, the legislature has to impeach, and they lack the intestinal fortitude. It is not just Bush that let us down, but the lot.

When we read the Constitution, to truly understand the legal mumbojumbo, one must read the Declaration in conjunction with.

The Second of Third Paragraph in the Declaration of Independance states that if a government becomes destructive we have the right to amend it or abolish it.

Hence, the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms.

It is up to us to amend the government, as they have become destructive, they will not do it.

Answer 11

Because congress is just as compromised (criminal) as he is.

Answer 12

because the senate is too weak to do so. the d**n republicans wouldn't let that happen, then they'd lose control.

Answer 13

So many laws were broken.  Didn't you know that Congressman Dennis Kucinich presented 35 articles of impeachment? This means 35 solid reasons with evidence for impeachment.  Nothing isn't happening because the Dems are too scared not to take orders from the Israelis.

Answer 14

Because it is only a small minority of Americans that are unhappy with Bush.  Mostly in New York and San Francisco.

You seem to forget all that 'flyover' country that has people willing to serve in the Armed Forces, pay for their own health care and work.

Next time you are waiting around in the welfare line, try reading your pocket constitution to find out where the president is granted any authority for healthcare or the economy.  I'll give you a hint, look in Article II...

Answer 15

You can't impeach someone if he hasn't a clue what it means, and it would have taken too much to explain it to him.

Answer 16

Obviously, he's above the law. Nobody will even hold him responsible for his war crimes, or anyone else in his administration.

Answer 17

Because then d**k Cheney would be President of the United States. I mean, I'm all in favor of hating Bush and all, but I'm not willing to hand the reigns of power over to the Dark Lord of the Sith and doom the entire universe to death and destruction everlasting.
