Bush: Iraq Study Group Agrees With Me, President Praises Report Recommendations That Support Administration, Ignores Criticisms - CBS News
Alright folks - we've gotta get impeachment on the table
There's a serious case of mental imbalance and delusion in the White House and there's a football and a button in there that can rain death on the world.
There's not time to wait, there's not time for polite yadda yadda yadda...
We've got to move and now!!!

Hey, you've piqued my curious. I know what the Constitution states is impeacheable; how does that apply to the sitting President?

Let's see if you can tell me what the Constitution states is impeachable first.

Sure, make me pull the text off the net...
Article II Sect 4 of the US Constitution states:
"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."
Your turn...

Then that's what we impeach him for.
Sorry to put to so much trouble, you said you knew what the constitution said was impeachable.
Now you do understand that the terms you quoted are not quite as clearly defined as you might believe don't you?
What you actually quoted was that they shall be REMOVED from office for those things, not that those things were the only impeachable items.
One impeachable item is obstruction of justice.
Investigation will show more than one occurrence of such.

Well, I haven't seen anything yet that would acurately fit the Constitutional paragragh above (although for entertainment, i am thinking of doing my own post on the subject).
I have heard about impeachments for obstruction of justice as well. Given your article and information I read in this, I am not comfortable with trying impeachment on that basis, and I grant neither is Congress. With the sieve that this administration is producing leak after leak, I don't believe it warranted to allow that many more clearances. We are still at war.
I can understandf your desire for impeachment on this basis though.
Any other hot items?

"Well, I haven't seen anything yet that would acurately fit the Constitutional paragragh above"
And you won't - that paragraph does not mean what you read.
Impeachment means what Congress says it does - that paragraphs says that when a President or other government official is impeached and convicted for the specific listed items then that President can (not even must) be removed from office.
It's never happened at the Presidential level.
I suspect that you wouldn't find anything this President did impeachable - not even the obstruction of justice that other Presidents have been charged with.
I really hate to go back to this, I've grown weary of it but here we go.
"We are still at war."
Find me the declaration and I'll concede, otherwise I'll have to keep reminding you and everyone else that we are in a state of conflict, not war and conflict does not allow for the extraordinary powers and exemptions granted in time of war.
It's ver curious that this administration should be granted protections through it's own failures "With the sieve that this administration is producing leak after leak, I don't believe it warranted to allow that many more clearances."
New clearances are being granted by the hundreds every day.
This administration not granting clearances to it's own Justice Department is inexcusable.
My statement was that impeachment needs to be put back on the table in order to bring a defiant reckless administration under control.
I could put out a laundry list of failures - but that's not the point, the point is that this is a massively failed administration that is defiant and harmful to the nation and will continue to be so even past the end of it's days if it is not made to account for it's failures.
As an example to future Congresses and Administrations there needs to be an accounting and accountability - that was the message of the mid term elections from the American people.
If it's not done then options for the American people narrow and actions become less and less "civil".

Amen to that brother!
I'll have to look up the declaration thing; it's probably Fox News propaganda.
All security clearances are the same, huh? Don't bother to answer.
Oyasumi nasai; I'm out of here. I have some part of my brain missing which causes me to not think like you.
The Demi Brain.

Gecko,
You really do have some problems - and I take no ownership of them.
First A number one - I don't challenge ANYONE for not thinking like me, it would be a damn dull place if they did.
"All security clearances are the same, huh? "
Do lay that out and then tell me not to answer.
your statement, not mine was "I don't believe it warranted to allow that many more clearances." you are the one tat lumps them as same/same.
Do you remember the IG???
Try telling the IG they can't know what you're doing.
It's the same for Justice and NSA.
Please look up the Declaration of War - you shall not find it, we never did the right and honorable thing.
I guess if you can call me a super brain, I'm permitted to give you a moniker as well, hence Demi Brain suits you because your refuge is your missing half that says it can't be bothered to know more.
The problem is the functioning half keeps nagging you that it's lonely.

From the article:
"President Bush spoke Saturday about parts of the Iraq Study Group report that mirror his policies — but he ignored the sections that criticize his administration's handling of the war."
After having just finished reading "Worse Than Watergate" by John Dean, I think there are PLENTY of impeachable offenses. Once there a few investigations started into Halliburton, pre-war intelligence, and Dick Cheney's energy committee... the turning over of one stone will lead to another, and another, and so on.
Bush's response to the ISG report is just about what I expected it to be... He disagrees with the parts that say he needs to change his approach, because he has never had any plans to change his approach in the first place.
I agree with 1138 here... Bush is delusional, he is cognitively dissonant, he is stubborn, and he has way too much fundamentalist Christianity and testosterone in his head. The guy seems to me like he's mentally ill in a big way, and we still have something like 768 days left in his administration... I don't know what scares me more, Bush having a little over two years left to screw things up even further, or Iran gaining nuclear weapons.
