Lucky... 0 #1 March 26, 2007 Some House Reps are considering it, should he be impeached? A recent AOL poll just showed that 62% said yes he sould if he keeps the Iraq idiocy going. Should lawmakers pursue impeachment if President Bush continues with his Iraq plan? Yes 62% No 38% _____________________________________ What's your take on setting a troop withdrawal deadline?

Cheney's a sick man; he's going to die soon. He's not going to run anyway, no matter what. He's already the power behind the throne, so maybe the added pressure of being the actual President might make him code sooner. And you know who's next in line.

IanHarrop 42 #12 March 26, 2007 QuoteWould you rather Cheney hold the top office, allowing him the opportunity to campaign as an incumbent up to two times? It would just formalize what is already in place. GWB takes the heat but who's actually making the decisions? I think Cheney orchestrated his running of the country quite well.

billvon 3,090 #14 March 26, 2007 >Agnew was not VP when Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment, Ford was. Right. I'm making an analogy to today's situation. It's not a given that Cheney will become president if/when Bush is impeached, since it's not a given that he will still be VP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 2 #21 March 26, 2007 Of course, your scenario presumes that upon Bush's impeachment, the new President Cheney (OMG) would quickly appoint Boehner as the new VP and that Boehner would be confirmed by the Senate. Maybe so. My scenario is that the new President Cheney (OMG) codes before his successor VP can be installed into office. Say hello to Madame President Nancy Pelosi.

On what grounds? Impeachment is not akin to a recall. If they believe a crime was committed in 2002/3 to garner congressional support, charge him. If they want to try again to enforce the War Powers Act, do it. Failing in foreign policy, otoh, is not an impeachable offense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
