Let's not wait for impeachment- let's AMEND them out instead.
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 03:19 AM by kgfnally
I'm unaware of of any law that forbids something like the following:

"The President and Vice President currently holding the Office of the Executive, upon ratification of this Amendment, Intended to specifically refer to George W. Bush and his appointed subordinates, shall step down, and the entire Executive brach shall be removed, and a new Office formed: this for a period not to exceed two years, inducted into office by a Special Election, to occur at such time as the 2006 Congressional election as provided for by this Constitution; the intended end of that term shall occur as already provided for by this Constitution, and shall apply to that President's two-term limit.

Any and all means necessary shall be authorized by the People for the purposes of the removal provided for by this Amendment, and all current members of that administration shall be barred for their natural lives from serving in any public office."

So why don't we call a Constitutional Convention for this specific purpose?

If it passed the states, they must comply.

Right?

(thinking ahead, this appears to be a process too long for our purposes.)

(edited to further clarify.)

3. I dread to think what the repukes would do at a Constitutional Convention.
They'd probably establish the Southern Baptists as the national church and send all of us to Gitmo.

6. Requires 2/3 of the Senate and the House.
They won't even vote censure.
