text: for those who want bush impeached and removed from office, how do you propose it be done? impeachment is the process of bringing a federal officer (president, vice president, federal judge, etc.) up on charges. it is not a conviction, or a removal from office. only the u.s. house of representatives has the power to impeach, and it only takes a simple majority. the u.s. senate is where the trial is held, and it takes a 2/3 majority to convict and remove from office.  since the dems have enough votes in the house (once they take office in january) to impeach, but nowhere near enough votes in the senate, how do you propose they go about removing bush (and cheney) from office? or, in other words, how would you convince 16 repubs to vote against their party and commit political suicide (it takes 67 votes, and the dems only have 51)? ever notice that the idiot liberals never seem to elaborate that.  the sad part about that is when you compare slick willie and the cigars to the president who at least did something to al qaeda instead of white house interns, the complaint even gets more muddy.
