: Not really, it's not something that can be done overnight and he only has a little more than 1 1/2 years left in office. They would have to hold judiciary hearings to decide if it can even be brought for a vote. Then the House has to vote, then the Senate. I doubt they would try to do this with so little time left in office.
: I think they will be concentrating on the '08 election.
: There are other factors to consider as well.
: 1. If he's out, that puts Cheney in as president.
: 2. It takes a 2/3 majority. Clinton was aquitted and the Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate at the time.
: 3. He hasn't committed an impeachable offense.
Let’s see, you said Bush hasn’t committed an impeachable offense.
1. Bush Misled America and Congress about the threat from Iraq
Lie #1. Uranium from Niger -
Lie #2. Iraq & 9/11
Lie #3. Aluminum Tubes
Lie #4 Iraq & Al Qaeda
Lie #5 WMD’s
Lie #6 Mobile Weapons Labs
2. Bush Violated the Geneva Convention by Torturing Prisoners
3. Authorized Illegal Wiretaps
4. Violated International Law
5. Bush illegally used government funds for domestic political propaganda campaigns.

The problem is nobody told the Democrats they are in power now. They need to get a backbone. As far as Cheney becoming President, here is another Bush lie. He said anyone found to have leaked the name of a undercover CIA person (Valerie Plame) would be fired. So far, no one has been. The Libby trial has shown that probably the leak came from Cheney, maybe higher. A few of the jury members stated they thought Libby was being the fall guy for Rove and/or Cheney.
Any bets that Bush pardons Libby?
