My previous comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I'm well versed in the Consitution and what it allows. Such that in the '90s I laughed at all the "Impeach Clinton" bumperstickers and the ignorant rednecks who put them on their vehicles from the day he took the oath. Impeachment is little more than an indictment, and must be followed by a conviction (removal) on the Senate's part for it to mean anything. Notice how quickly all those bumper stickers disappeared when he was impeached but not removed? Priceless.

Knowing that the term limit will take care of Bush for good in three years, and that right now America would fire his ass if it were constitutionally viable, the only alternative we DO have is impeachment. But when the same party that controls the White House also controls both houses of Congress, and with the Chief Justice (who presides over impeachment) dead, with a successor hand-picked by the President, you enter what we peons call a "Constitutional Crisis."

The only solution is to flood the DNC with cries for impeachment (on real grounds this time, not just lying about receiving a blow job). If the DNC has the balls, they'll stick together AND force the crossover votes from all these GOP talking heads who are equally pissed at the administration. It'll be harder to get a removal from the senate than an impeachment from Congress, but still, if public sentiment is there it can happen. Not likely, but it's better than waiting three years for the country to implode.
