Why is your name not included?<br><br>When the Authors of our Constitution wrote the impeachment clause, they must have had George Bush and Dick Cheney (de facto president) in mind. No president in our history has done his own legislating, re-interpreting 810 laws which you and your colleagues have studiously (I hope) deliberated over and drafted.<br><br>If that isn't the equivalent of Congress having its lunch eaten by the executive, I don't know what is.<br><br>So I think Congress should impeach the (de Facto) President or cancel impeachment.<br><br>I look forward to your timely reply which I will cause to be published.<br><br>Sincerely,</i> <br><br>R.

They mean a lot. <br><br>I agree with those who assert that one of the reasons those of us who are not "Neocons" are so reluctant to impeach this corrupt occupant of the White House is because we failed to impeach Nixon. Gerald Ford's pardoning of Nixon established the precedent of "No Accountability", which this administration practices to the Extreme. <br><br>We cannot allow the Democrats to continue to collude with those who would "take responsibility" by saying: "Mistakes were made." We dishonor our Founders and ourselves if we fail to impeach this gang.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04684959484239769655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-71460900956530200772007-07-21T07:25:00.000-07:002007-07-21T07:25:00.000-07:00"They know he's impeachable but they won&..."They know he's impeachable but they won't do it.
