Impeach Bush...Seriously!
www.pbs.org from Bill Moyers blog
July 13, 2007
A public opinion poll
from the American Research Group recently reported that more than four
in ten Americans — 45% — favor impeachment hearings for President
Bush and more than half — 54% — favored impeachment for Vice
President Cheney.
Unhappiness about the war in Iraq isn't the only cause of the unsettled
feelings of the electorate. Recent events like President Bush's pardoning
of Scooter Libby, the refusal of Vice President Cheney's office to surrender
emails under subpoena to Congress and the President's prohibition of testimony
of former White House counsel Harriet E. Miers in front of the House Judiciary
Committee have caused unease over claims of "executive privilege."
In addition, many of the White House anti-terror initiatives and procedures
— from the status of "enemy combatants" in Guantanamo
to warrantless wiretapping — have come under legal scrutiny in Congress
and the courts.
Bill Moyers gets perspective on the role of impeachment in American political life from Constitutional scholar Bruce Fein, who wrote the first article of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, and THE NATION's John Nichols, author of THE GENIUS OF IMPEACHMENT.
"The founding fathers expected an executive who tried to overreach and expected the executive would be hampered and curtailed by the legislative branch... They [Congress] have basically renounced — walked away from their responsibility to oversee and check." — Bruce Fein
"On January
20th, 2009, if George Bush and Dick Cheney are not appropriately held
to account this Administration will hand off a toolbox with more powers
than any President has ever had, more powers than the founders could have
imagined. And that box may be handed to Hillary Clinton or it may be handed
to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or someone else. But whoever gets it, one
of the things we know about power is that people don't give away the tools."
— John Nichols
