Bush can be impeached even after leaving office

Tuesday, November 18, 2008 12:09 AM EST

Some corrections need to be made about impeaching and/or indicting Bush now.
• If Bush has not been charged with a crime (even if he has done crimes) he can't pardon himself.

• Even if Bush had been charged with crimes, I don't believe he can pardon himself. If he has done impeachable actions, be they crimes or not, he cannot absolve himself of these offensives by pardoning himself.

• It is possible to impeach someone, Bush included, after they have left office.

• A prosecutor can charge Bush on criminal indictments, once he is no longer president. See the book “The Indictment of George W. Bush for Murder.”

There is a prosecutor in Vermont who says he is going to do just that.

OH MAN!!

You are the poster boy for the "Have not been paying attention for the last eight years" crowd, cheeko!

You can't HONESTLY believe that?

One word--Torture.

My hope is that an international coalition of the Hague will indict, and demand extradition of both Bush and Cheney for trial on International War Cries and flagrant violations of the Geneva Convention Standards. "

" GW Bush and D Cheney should have been impeached years ago. However, due to political back room deals and other 'quid pro quo' or whatever deals, the Democrats and many, many Republicans who disagreed with GW Bush and Dick Cheney's unilateral and illeagal policies, failed to live up to their elected responsibilites and muster the some political courage, bite the bullet and put an end to the this administration's sanctioned corporate corruption which has led us to this current world wide fiscal crisis, lying about the reason for this illegal Iraq war, guantanamo bay morass, sanctioning torture, renditions, illegal spying on US Citizens, politizing the Atty. Generals office, giving sole source cost plus multi billion dollar contracts to Haliburton and others. And these things are just the tip of this GWB/DC arrogance and insanity. If we're lucky, it will take America 2-3 generations just to regain back the Worlds trust and good reputation that we once had.
And you "Cheeko" have the brass tacks to say that "Besides President Bush has not done anything impeachable to begin with?" You must have been out of the country for the last 8 years, right? If not, you are one hurting and brainwashed puppy! "
