    Impeachment

    The impeachment procedure is in two steps. The House of Representatives must first pass "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority. (All fifty state legislatures as well as the District of Columbia city council may also pass articles of impeachment against their own executives.) The articles of impeachment constitute the formal allegations. Upon their passage, the defendant has been "impeached."

    Next, the Senate tries the accused. In the case of the impeachment of a President, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings.
    Why isn't this happening?

    Fat chance of ever getting this to happen. I would think there would be an option for the American people to serve the charges against a sitting President. Wouldn't that would too good to be true.

    I think the democrats will win in 2008 if Bush keeps messing up. That is probably why they aren't going after him.

    Heh, thanks. I should have done a search. I figured it would be a popular topic, but I didn't look outside the General and News forums....
