Sure looks different when you are the one with the red phone in your bedroom, doesn't it?

Yes. Any president could be impeached by a majority vote of the house of representatives.

The procedure is simple. The house judiciary committee holds a meeting. They vote that there is some evidence of wrongdoing. They hold formal meetings to investigate any evidence. They draw up articles of impeachment and decide if the president is guilty of "high crimes or misdemeanors". They take a majority vote. He is impeached.

The judiciary committee and the House or both controlled by the opposing party.

All it takes to impeach is to piss off the opposing party when thy control the house. That ain't hard. Now to remove from office, all that has to happen then the senate holds a meeting. If they get two-thirds of senators to agree, the President is removed from office.

The senate is controlled by the same party as the president.

That's not the point.  The point is the incredible level of hypocrisy here from the two who now head the Executive Branch.

How is this any different than when they were calling to impeach President Bush for the exact same thing?

[RecycleMichael]

It is not any different. What is your point?

[RecycleMichael]

Most politicians are hypocrites? Yeah, I already knew that.

Does it bother you that this is what "change" looks like?

Seriously Conan? Have you forgotten who you are addressing?

If you recall, I wasn't really enthusiastic about Obama the candidate.

I am pissed at him for bombing Libya. I am upset with him for not getting our troops out of Iraq and Afganistan.  I lost it when he caved into republicans to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest. I don't think he has been an effective negotiator. I don't think he has been able to change Washington.

I am still glad he is the president. I thought he was the better choice 17 months ago and I just have to be patient that he will get better results soon.  

I am not an idealogue like many on this forum. I want change from my government and I believe it is possible.

I'd say that's pretty idealistic

Agreed.....when will the GOP start in with Pawlenty of opposition?

I agree. I do think it is possible.

I have been a student of government my whole life. My mother was the city hall reporter for the TulsaWorld when I in school and my B.A. was in political science. I have worked for 13 different governments in my career and have served on state and national environmental boards. I went to government schools and most of my relatives have served in the military.

Government can make a positive difference in lives. Government is not just an necessary evil. I know hundreds of government employees who work incredibly hard for fair wages who make my life better.

By reading the comments of gaspar and guido, you would think that everything connected to government is inefficient, corrupt and just trying to interfere with their life. They act like if it is government, it should be spit on.
