4. Impeach him because you can ....

U.S. constitution: Article 1; Section 3; clauses 6-7

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

5. As much as I can't stand the retard

Impeachment at this time is not an option.

Imagine it..................President Cheney & Vice President Rice.


No thanks, we're better off with the lame chimp.

6. Cheney is no more

likely to become president than Spiro Agnew is. The House investigation into the White House policies will lead as much to the Vice President's office as the President's.

8. I respect your opinion

But do you want ANY of the people in line in this administration to become the leader of the free world?

I know I don't.

9. I think that the

people in this administration lack the ethical requirements to be the leaders of the free world, and hence share your opinion that a congressional action aimed at Bush has some very real risks. I do not think that Cheney gaining power is the primary concern. In fact, I think that he has become something of a ball & chain on the administration, and as much as I think he needs to face legal consequences, I am hoping that the country and congress will not allow his resignation to be the end of the process.

What I am particularly concerned about, and I mentioned it recently in another thread, is that the Constitution is actually vague on the successor to the presidency. I quoted from "Four Days in November," a NYTimes book published in 2003, that had some 600 pages of the NYT's coverage of the JFK assasination. Pages 172-3 present an interesting read on Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. It notes, for example, that "(c)ontrary to popular notion, the Constitution does not specifically state that the vice president shall become president in the event of the president's death." In fact, the 83 words have created a Constitutional custom, but are open to serious debate by attorneys .... and as we saw in Florida in 2000, there is a group grasping power in this nation that has no respect for laws, state or federal, and no sense of duty to that Constitution.

Thus, while there is a 1947 law about who is next in line, my concern is less about Cheney than about an entrenched administration refusing to respect the law of the land -- the executive branch shows utter contempt for the congress and has prostituted the courts. I think that is a very real risk .... and much like a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor has very real risks, the decision not to operate may actually be worse.

2006 is going to be a strange year.
