What qualifies a president for impeachment?
I was wandering around Y!A and I've been seeing a lot of questions about why we haven't impeached President Bush yet, and I was just wondering what exactly a President has to do in order to be impeached? Can a President be impeached just because the American public doesn't like him? Are there certain (for lack of a better word) things a president has to do before he can be impeached?
Also, please note that this question IS NOT about whether you or I think Bush should be impeached or not. I just want to know what a president has to do in order to be impeached.
Thanks!|||No, public opinion does not play a role in impeachment.
Treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemenors is the exact phrasing in the Constitution, and it can only be brought by a simple majority in Congress.
Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, though he was acquited of the second charge. Nixon actually wasn't impeached since he resigned before the process was completed and then was pardoned by President Ford.|||To answer your question, it takes 218 Members of the House of Representatives to agree on some alleged high crime or misdemeanor the President has committed. If they can agree (218 being a majority vote in that body) then Article(s) of Impeachment are drawn up, case managers are assigned and those managers then present those articles to the Senate for that body to consider whether or not to vote for removal of the President from office.
The definition of a high crime or misdemeanor has never been clarified. It appears to be whatever those 218 Members of the House use as a definition. In the case of President Andrew Johnson, he was accused of violating a law which was later declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. |||"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
Note that impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office, although impeachment would open that possibility.

Can someone tell me what constitutes the congressional act of impeachment?
President Nixon and President Clinton were both impeached. What did they do that was so bad?|||Impeachment is the act of formally accusing an elected official of actions that justify removing them from office. After the House of Representatives impeaches someone, the Senate is supposed to act as the jury in a trial. The maximum punishment in an impeachment is removal form office, and ineligibility to be elected for office in the future. If the act for which a person is impeached is a crime, they can also face criminal charges once removed from office.
Nixon was actually NOT impeached. He escaped impeachment by resigning before the House voted for impeachment. The accusations involve covering up his re-election committee's breaking his opponents offices in the Watergate Hotel.
Clinton was impeached for LYING under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by Paula Jones. It is important to note that his sexual activity was NOT the reason for his impeachment. LYING about it in a court of law was the reason for impeachment.
One other President has been impeached in US history, Andrew Johnson. I don't recall the reason or the outcome. Impeachment also applies to other government officials, but I don't know what other officials may have been impeached.

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.
2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.
4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.
5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.
9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Legally, how soon can impeachment proceedings be initiated?
Do we have to wait 'till after the inauguration? This stuff takes a long time to get going. Would Obama overturning the defense of marriage act be enough to get him impeached?|||Grounds for impeachment are disscussed in Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution. It states “the President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and on conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” So cannot stress this matter Obama does not need to be accused or convited of a LEGAL issue, notice the ambiguity of the list of impeachable offenses. The conviction does not need to be from a court of justice, it is a conviction from senate. (This is why many in Sen and the House are cautious to suggest impeachment, being anything is an impeachable offense. It is at the ruling of Senate. PS Palin for Sen!)
So a simple perjury implication or quest of his character (say if he suggests to meet with terrorists for coffee or to discuss anything without any predetermined conditions for example) is required. The catch is a 2/3 vote in the House of rep is required (th eHOS has power of impeachment), but the actuall trial is held by Senate.
The issue we face is the American public has been misinformed allowing both to be heavily weighted by Dems. Also, even though Mr Obama said "... I will change the old way of politics..." He has practiced this during his campaign and obviously is depending upon it to hold his power for at least this coming 4 yrs.
I suggest if you truly wish impeachment process to begin, write a letter to you public officals as often as you can to support this cause. They do listen... good luck to all of us ...|||Impeachment requires "high crimes or misdemeanors". It has only ever happened twice, both times for entirely political reasons on trumped up charges. Impeachment is like indictment. After that you have a trial in the senate. In both cases, Clinton and Johnson, the president was acquitted and finished out his term.
The only time impeachment has ever come close to happening for legitimate reasons was Nixon, but he resigned rather than being the first president ever impeached and convicted, which was very likely to happen.
Legally, there is no time limit, but Obama would have to be accused of something illegal while in office. No, overturning the defense of marriage act would not be enough, as it is legal to change the law, so long as he does it in the appropriate manner. I hope he does this, but I'm not sure he's got the support in congress. I don't expect it to be high on his priority list if he even wants to.|||No, he actually had to have done something wrong. Get over it people, Obama won and he's gonna do a great job!
Why do you guys keep saying stuff like "lets impeach him" or "let's assasinate him" when the man hasn't DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!
You make me sick|||Impeachment is for "high crimes and misdemeanors". He would have to commit a crime.
He has no right to "overturn" an act of Congress. If Congress overturned it, he could sign it.|||We can and should have impeached Bush long ago. What laws do you claim that Obama has broken? How can a president elect overturn a law? What is your source? The Fakes News Network?|||Dude, impeachment comes as a result of illegal activity. Besides, the Dems control congress... it ain't gonna happen.|||Just chill. Obama cannot overturn DOMA. In fact, he is in favor of DOMA.
Pay attention!|||Legally you have to prove a felony to even think about impeachment.|||wait until he really screws us up then do it, if that fails use force
So a simple perjury implication or quest of his character (say if he suggests to meet with terrorists for coffee or to discuss anything without any predetermined conditions for example) is required. The catch is a 2/3 vote in the House of rep is required (th eHOS has power of impeachment), but the actuall trial is held by Senate.
The issue we face is the American public has been misinformed allowing both to be heavily weighted by Dems. Also, even though Mr Obama said "... I will change the old way of politics..." He has practiced this during his campaign and obviously is depending upon it to hold his power for at least this coming 4 yrs.
I suggest if you truly wish impeachment process to begin, write a letter to you public officals as often as you can to support this cause. They do listen... good luck to all of us ...|||Impeachment requires "high crimes or misdemeanors". It has only ever happened twice, both times for entirely political reasons on trumped up charges. Impeachment is like indictment. After that you have a trial in the senate. In both cases, Clinton and Johnson, the president was acquitted and finished out his term.
The only time impeachment has ever come close to happening for legitimate reasons was Nixon, but he resigned rather than being the first president ever impeached and convicted, which was very likely to happen.
Legally, there is no time limit, but Obama would have to be accused of something illegal while in office. No, overturning the defense of marriage act would not be enough, as it is legal to change the law, so long as he does it in the appropriate manner. I hope he does this, but I'm not sure he's got the support in congress. I don't expect it to be high on his priority list if he even wants to.|||No, he actually had to have done something wrong. Get over it people, Obama won and he's gonna do a great job!

Is there any way to get a president removed other than impeachment?
i mean, like can the people just start a petition or something, and with enough signatures get a president removed, just because they don't like him or something?
or does it have to be impeachment for a crime no matter what?|||you can vote him out after 4 yrs,impeachment or assasinate|||No Impeachment is the only way. You can't get rid of the President of the United States just because you don't like him. The majority voted him in office and majority rules!!!|||Yes, an election. The next one is in about 3 years. But he stands a chance of getting 4 more years.|||You could try voting, but since President Obama is about six times as popular as W, your odds are not good.

Please give reasonable answer to if Speaker Pelosi should have taken Impeachment off the table?
Please , no snarky answers to bash libs, dems, etc. Just a simple question as to whether Speaker Pelosi subverted the Constitution by taking Impeachment off the table.|||When did she take impeachment off the table? And for whom? And for what? Impeachment is the Constitutional responsibility, not the privilege, of the Congress. Congress must impeach for treason, high crimes, perjury, if these offenses are committed by persons in high office. It is not an option. It is a Constitutional responsibility. Only by exercising this authority are these offenses deterred, and, when committed, only impeachment and whatever criminal prosecutions are appropriate enable the American people to stand aside from the perpetrators and show we are a nation of laws and not of strongmen and gangsters. Failure to impeach is an endorsement of the behavior, in the name of the American people whom the Congress is elected to represent. Failure to represent the people is cause for recall of that member of Congress who so transgresses. www.garyeandrews.com|||You have tohave commited a crime, there was no crime, next question.|||Because, and I hate to say this, Pelosi is smarter than the idiots yelling for impeachment...she knows no crimes were committed and did not see the point in wasting our time with it...but they did waste their time with Major League Baseball and Steroids...our Tax dollars hard at work...you should take time to read the Constitution...it may help you, because it says High Crimes and Misdemeanors...just because you don't like the President does not mean he can be impeached...if they would have impeached Bush, they would have had to bring Bill back and charge him too since he use the same Intel to bomb Iraq on a weekly basis...and it was the Democratic President's Intel they were using and they themselve had been parroting Clinton for over half of the 90's...|||I can not believe I am saying this, and I didn't know she did it, but...
That is the right thing to do. The President has to break the law to be impeached.
She did the right thing. A lot of Bush haters think he can be impeached because they disagree with what he has done. The fact is he has done nothing "legally" wrong, and she knows it.

How and when will Obama initiate Bush/Cheney impeachment as promised?
and when is he going to officially that he's a Muslim?|||Sounds like some research may be in order...

Anyone who still believes he's a Muslim should A) realise that the accusations are based on nothing but skin colour, and B) realise that there is in fact no evidence whatsoever that his faith is Islam. He's a Christian, which is widely recognised.
...And the Bush/Cheney impeachment was a promise made by Joseph Biden, when he was campaigning for the Democratic Nomination, which he lost. These promises had nothing to do with the Presidential Election since Obama got the nomination instead of Biden, Clinton or Edwards. And the promises have nothing whatsoever to do with Obama, because he never made them.|||and when is he going to officially that he's a Muslim?
(You're missing a verb. Your statement can mean anything -- "deny" or "admit"? Didn't he say countless times he's a Christian? And if he's a Muslim, won't that render the Rev. Wright issue moot? Pretty sure he's Christian. And if not, so what?)
I didn't know he promised to have them impeached. That's new. Heh.
Besides it's too late now, isn't it?
Sorry, can't help but take a facetious tone here. Hard to believe you're serious, so it's hard to take you seriously.|||Well, just another broken promise. But he never said that one, anyway.
But, here we have the usual string of libs / 0 bamanites that blindly defend the chosen one when, if one chose to actually investigate, google 'obama muslim faith' and get 1,400,000 hits.

Do you think Impeachment should start with the VP ?
How quickly could it be done if started?|||Impeachment takes time to complete but even if it was completed after Bush and Cheney are out of office it should be done. History will show these were the worst president and vice president we have had. If we do nothing it will also show that the American people stood by while these two destroyed our world image, lied to us and took us to war, violated our laws and constitution and all the while we whimpered like kids but did nothing. They need to be removed from office BUT, have you thought about the consequences of their impeachment? Pelosi would become president and I am not sure we would be any better off. History will show we got rid of Bush and Chaney which is a plus but Pelosi can not be a part of the solution. She sounded like a good deal for America but she has turned out to be a flake and incapable of doing anymore than complain.|||No, let's start with the Senate.|||No
It would kep just over a year to do.|||no|||I can't imagine what you think this would accomplish.....just another waste of our elected officials time.|||I do not like our VP, but what high crimes and misdemeanors can we prove him guilty of?|||You would have to have a reason for impeachment.

Why don't you start this question by stating which law was broken so that impeachment proceedings could begin.|||I don't see any reason to impeach either the Vice President or the President. No one has demonstrated that either has committed a high crime or misdemeanor. One Member of Congress has introduced a resolution calling for the President's impeachment. His name is Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. That resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee (the committee of jurisdiction in such matters) by a recorded vote in the House last week. That is where it will die on the vine.
Impeachment and removal of the Vice President from office won't mean that he will be succeeded in office by the current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi of California. A successor would be named by the President and he would face confimation by the House under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
That's how it is done in this republic. It helps to dampen down visceral hatred of any elected official that has no basis in law and also helps to sooth the impatience of those who have no understanding at all of the Constitution!|||Yes, Congress should start immediately on the impeachment proceedings. Cheney's numerous violations of office are indeed very serious crimes, and it is time to drag his criminal activities out of the dark and into the light of day.|||YES! Unquestionably.

While the Republicans had no problem impeaching Clinton for committing the high crime and misdemeanor of lying about having enjoyed oral sex in the oval office,the gutless,spineless ,repulsive ,offensive Democrats led by Palosi have no intension of impeaching Bush for having committed the HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR of waging an ILLEGAL war of choice all based upon a pack of deliberate filthy/stinking lies that has so far seen the slaughter of over 400,000 innocent Iraqi civilians.
The moral BANKRUPCY of the Democrats and the US public as evidenced by all of this ,is simply disgusting.
That Bush is going to get away with what many REPUTABLE INTERNATIONAL JURISTS are now calling Bush's Iraqi war a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and for him to get away without being charged as a WAR CRIMINAL is a gross injustice.

What language does the Constitution use regarding impeachment?
This is a question on my homework.
I don't understand it at all and am very tempted to simply answer "english".
Please help answer :/|||Impeachment is not directed exclusively at Presidents. The Constitutional language, "all civil officers," includes such positions as Federal judge-ships.

I don't think his actions regarding this right now deserve impeachment, and can't foresee it happening.|||I'm not A Dem but i surely will support his impeachment!|||first off,why would he do that politically? i see chaney Had's not open his mouth about it...why?|||IF that is the case, which I highly doubt, I would ask that he resign.|||yes|||Yea, It's not as if he Lied to congress about having an affair in the oval office!|||The Secretary of the Interior had a plan in place to be executed unless otherwise directed.
It was NOT executed.

It just goofy talk by people who think that it could happen, but it won't. That is not to say that Obama's administration is not a train wreck because it is.

I am a lifelong Dem and I would hope that the moderats in the Party would run a candidate in the next Presidential primary, otherwise Obama is simply giving the White House back. As a Dem, I can say that I will not vote for him again even if the GOP does run some toothy, blow dried wack. I voted for Obama but I am man enough to say it was a mistake and while the media kept us all worked up about Palin (really is Biden better???) we missed the chance to have at least one term of McCain. McCain, a true hero, even for one term might have carried us through this mess. For sure we can't have an Obama administration that reacts to every problem by pointing backward to Bush.

Four helicopters, two Coast Guard cutters, and one rescue plan team were dispatched as soon as the explosion occurred.

An envirnmental command center was established to address the environmental impact and to coordinate with all state and local governments. How do ya' like DEM apples, teabagging evangelicals?

And since when did certain Republicans start critiquing him for supporting offshore drilling, which they may hold in common. It seems like any dishonest excuse is used to paint the opponent as diabolical, instead of good reasons. This equally applies to certain liberals during the Bush era. Even though I barely agreed with Bush on most things, he did not deserve to be blamed for everything. Why does politics have to be such a black and white war-zone?|||Yea dude - that will come out right after we learn Bush blew the levees and ordered a missile strike on the Pentagon...
Oh wait - actually this doesn't make any sense. Because Obama's response to the gulf disaster was a speech... That pipeline is and was private property. The test of fortitude comes now in how responsible should BP be for this cleanup and how much legal liability from the states affected by this.
Try a little common sense. BP's delay was due to their priorities. Saving the pipeline. Saving the spewing oil. Saving money (if possible) in the process.
I am going to be floored if Cheney actually made the point this question asker is making. I disagree with Cheney just about every way philosophically, but i do give him some credit for logic. That is retarded to suggest that Obama pressured BP to keep the spill a secret and then delay operations for what again??? So that libs could demonize BP and drilling??? Uhm okay. right..|||Look, he did not have sex with that woman !! ( of course "oral" is not considered sex in Arkansas ) So there Supreme Court ! Has anyone invented a big sucking machine yet.

Clinton's popularity figures during the impeachment were the highest of his presidency, and they were never below 66% after that.
It's getting close to 2012 and the Repubs don't even have a field of plausible candidates to run against Obama. They need to stop whining like little kids and come up with a genuine alternative program beyond just accusing Obama of socialism and fascism, as if they were exactly the same thing.|||You have to of had committed a crime in order to be impeached. "Impeached" doesn't mean that you take someone out of office because you don't like them.
And no, Republicans and Conservatives aren't serious about "restoring constitutional government" because there's nothing to "restore" it to, since there's never actually been a time in the history of the U.S. where everyone could sit around and say to themselves "you know, we really have a "constitutional government".
You want to "demand" that someone be impeached. Then you must charge President Obama with a crime, and then you will be asked by quite a few people, to produce the evidence.
Your play...|||From our UK point of view, Obama was seen to be dithering over he question of Libya. We have a mandate from the UN to go in and create a no-fly zone. We all know of course that shooting down Qaddafi's jets is not going to stop his tanks. So, the 'alliance' backed up by the Arab League, has had to take them out too.
At least the Rebels are grateful for the help they've had so far.
Everyone wants there to be a victory for the Rebels, but not/not at the expense of the involvement of NATO boots on the ground. No. Everything will be done to help the Rebels and that means medical aid and equipment and etc. All of which can very easily and quickly be sent to Benghazi from Italia by sea.
What puzzles people here in UK is just how powerless a US President really is.
Thankfully the French have no such problem and did not wait for permission and flew off immediately to begin the business of creating a no fly zone.
Here in the UK the Prime Minister does not have to consult with anyone on the question of going to war. But for reasons of good manners a motion was tabled in the Commons and it got the approval of over 500 of the 650 or so MPs - done.|||No one is calling for that.
Impeachment is just something that Righties ALWAYS call for if THEIR candidate doesn't win.
This is for a number of reasons. But primarily they are ...
1) Righties are consummate whiners ,,, incapable of playing by the rules.
2) They HATE Democracy .... they desire a ONE PARTY nation ... kind of a Totalitarian society .... something that their Messiah ... Rupert Murdoch ... (self proclaimed fascist) ... is drilling into their skulls.

[...]
Also, Mr. Obama further insults the nation by asking for a resolution from the United Nations Security Council instead of seeking the approval of the American people. His actions demonstrate that he thinks a supranational institution, such as the United Nations, supersedes Congress. He also is tacitly relegating the Constitution to second-class status, especially compared to the U.N. charter. His actions undermine America's national sovereignty and make our foreign policy hostage to a virulently anti-American international body. Mr. Obama has betrayed his country, his constitutional oath of office and his duty as commander in chief.
The Libyan war is part of a pattern of Mr. Obama's unethical and criminal behavior. He passed Obamacare against the express will of the American people, systematically abusing the political process even though the federal government has no constitutional authority to take over health care. He has appointed countless policy "czars" possessing sweeping Cabinet-level powers without Senate consent or oversight. His cronies have directly sought to manipulate or interfere in Democratic primary campaigns on behalf of pro-Obama candidates - a flagrant violation of the law.
Mr. Obama is a socialist thug. Since entering office, he has engaged in a massive, almost unprecedented power grab. He thinks he is above the law, that he can cavalierly circumvent the limits imposed by the Constitution. Only one remedy will teach him that he cannot do so: impeachment.

It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors." If it's enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office.

What did Andrew Jackson do during the nullification crisis to get himself into the impeachment process?
what did he do that was so bad? i really want 2 know in detail
thanks in advance|||The censure of Andrew Jackson by the US Senate was as a result of the manipulation of the cabinet concerning the Bank of the US. The Congress as a whole, was strongly behind his actions over Nullification.
The president can appoint interim cabinet officers while Congress is not in session. This is what happened with the series of Secretaries of the Treasury, designates, that were appointed and later fired for not re-directing US deposits from the BUS to the State banks. Congress was not in session, and Jackson was using this opportunity to get a man in who would do what he wanted and then once the re-direction of US funds was accomplished, he'd deal with the review process later. Not a bad strategy politically, really.
He did eventually find one who would do the deed, and this was used by the Senate to censure him, since the Senate had the power to advise and consent to the appointment. The Senate at the time (the word Senate here is pronounced Henry Clay) believed that the President didn't have the authority to fire his appointees, without Senate consent.
There's a partisan motive here (is there anything in Congress that hasn't one?) because Clay was a major supporter of the Bank, and chair of the Finance committee who would investigate the Treasury appointment. Add to this that in 1824, while Clay was Speaker of the House, he had used his influence to direct his supporters to vote for John Quincy Adams instead of Andrew Jackson.
The electoral process was more complicated then, third parties and multiple candidates for President were legion, and Clay's strategy for getting elected President often involved there being no clear majority for any single candidate, thus throwing the election to the House of Representatives, where he had a lot of influence. In 1824, there were 4 candidates for President, the votes going to Adams, Jackson, Clay and Crawford. These four divided up the electoral vote so that no one person had more than 50% of the entire college vote (hypothetically, with 300 votes, it would take 151 for one candidate, and these 4 divided up the votes more like 125, 100, 50, and 25, if the number 3 man throws his votes to the number one man, the number 1 man is president, while it would need the number 3 and 4 men to throw their votes to the number 2 man to elect him)
What actually happened was that Clay threw his votes to Adams, who was elected, and (both Adams and Clay said there was no connection) a few weeks later Adams asked Clay to be his Secretary of State, a post from which more men had been elected President than any other post. There had been 4 former Secretaries of State elected President from among the first 6 Presidents.
This election and the appointment that followed, was what the Democrats referred to as "the corrupt bargain".
Jackson was definitely the type to hold a grudge,among his last words were that he regretted not having killed Henry Clay.|||I'm sorry that I can't answer you in full detail, but I know that he fired someone that he couldn't fire because of something in the Constitution. If you need to know the answer right now, you could always Google it.|||Check out the wikipedia entry.

How does the impeachment of a president work?
What is the process in impeaching a president? thanks|||First charges have to be filed in the House. Then there is a vote and a majority have to agree to impeach the President. From there it moves to the Senate where they hold a trial and then vote whether or not to remove the President from office.
In the history of the United States only two Presidents have been impeached and both were politically motivated. None have ever been removed from office although Nixon did resign before the impeachment charges were filed.|||If Bush didn't get impeached, then there is no real process, or the process does not work.|||Basically the Senate acts as a judge and jury during an impeachment. After reviewing the evidence, they decide whether they should remove an elected official from office, and may recommend criminal charges.
Oh, and an impeachment is warranted when there is evidence that an elected official (not necessarily the POTUS) has committed a high crime or misdemeanor.
The impeachment is the hearing, not the removal from office.|||Well, first of all, he has to be accused of "high crimes and misdemeanors". Exactly what that means is still, to this day, debatable. He has to break the law. You can't impeach a president because you don't like the jeans he's wearing or because his wife wore shorts on their vacation.....Apparently Bush lying to the American public in order to start a phony war in which thousands of American and Iraqi citizens would be killed and that would make all his buddies rich doesn't even qualify as a crime..... As much as the conservatives would like to think that he has, Obama trying to reform healthcare, is not breaking a law.....|||I sure hope someone can figure out how to do it and make it work soon before we are no longer the United States of America and we are turned into something else.|||The House of Representatives drafts articles of impeachment. Only a simple majority in the House is needed to impeach the president.
Once the president is impeached, then there is a trial in the senate. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides. A two-thirds vote is required in the Senate to remove the president from office. Less than a two-thirds vote and he remains in office.|||Impeachment is the word for indictment for president. Clinton was impeached but wasn't convicted. Nixon was impeached and step down form office.
Impeachment works like indictments only they are made by congress.
