Under the U.S. Constitution, in the case of an event that eliminates or disables the President and Vice President, the Speaker of the House becomes President. Nancy Pelosi could become the Speaker of the House, and as such, be the third in line to the most powerful office in the world. That friends is a frightening, sobering, and terrifying thought.
Now, to make you feel better, Nancy Pelosi has said that she will not seek impeachment against President Bush. I certainly feel "better," just like when Bill Clinton assured America "I did not have sex with that woman!" Before you buy any of the new left-speak of "black is white and wrong is right," lets look at the two things that are certain with Democrats in Congress: 1) They will do ANYTHING to gain power, whether immoral, unethical, or illegal. ALL ends justify the means of gaining power to Democrats; 2) Blatant lies and propaganda are routine tools of the "democratic" left.
So, do you really believe that if the Democrats come to control Congress that impeachment proceedings will not be immediately started against BOTH BUSH AND CHENEY? If you're really that gullible about the gutter trash, lying propaganda filled politics of the Democrats, I own half of Florida's swamp land and most of it has already been back filled for construction. Care to buy some?
Can you say "Madam President Pelosi!"

She is not on my ballot.
She doesn't have to be on your ballot, but she would become the 3rh in line to the Presidency should anything happen to President Bush and Vice President Cheney. The only way to prevent her from becoming Speaker of the House is to elect a GOP majority again.
She's certainly ruthless enough to come up with some "lame" excuse for why she was "wrong" for having said she wouldn't allow impeachment proceedings.
That is, as she STARTS those proceedings against both Bush and Cheney...
Can you say "Goodbye" US Sovereignty! Hello United Nations Islamo-Fascists!
Oh, what borders? All those guys hauling all of that heavy equipment in that looks like Rocket launchers are just our neighbor!
Hey, Hi, Ho there neighbor! Need some help with that there Nuclear thingy?
I can not even begin to think that either house would perpetuate a coup by removing both a President and VP. If there were a risk of both being removed, the VP could resign, allowing the President to appoint a replacement. If the Senate refused to confirm that replacement before removing the President, it would be seen clearly as a power grab. The would be little legitimacy for the House Speaker turned President, and I dare call it a Constitutional crisis. It is difficult to say how that would play out. I would be very risky, and I don't mean in terms of the next election cycle. Agency heads wouldn't know what to do, military commanders wouldn't know what to do. Foreign leaders wouldn't know who to talk to. Finally, it would call into question whether we could have divided legislative and executive branches ever again. Everything, everything would be different. I can't see the Democrats considering this.
I can!
They are so ate up with it, they can't help themselves. Ask Karl Rove!!
As a German I am not too deep into local politics of the US. Therefore: Is she worse than Hillary??!
"Is she worse than Hillary??!"
That like asking who was worse: Himmler or Goebbels.
Both are nasty, evil witches.
Although both were among the worst a**holes you can think of I would have prefered Goebbels if I had the choice. He was somehow very "unarian"... ;-)
Impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney... and you have President pelosi... WHO WILL BE SELECTED, NOT ELECTED!
Think it can't happen? Read Rangel and pelosi's own threats. We should Always listen to what our ENEMIES say!
LLS
Should we ignore rangel, conyer's and pelosi's own promise that they will Impeach our two great Leaders? I guess if it's ok with some to ignore al qaeda and their threats, so it seems to ignore dim's threats would be ok with some also.
LLS
Broken glass bump.
Pelosi and the Democrats will stop at NOTHING to regain power.
We're talking about the party that promotes the slaughter of unborn humans. The party that is routinely engaged in FELONY vote fraud. The party that had a president that GAVE US MILITARY AND NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY to China to fight against the USA (for campaign cash).
The party that wants judges to re-write the Constitution rather than allowing the people to amend it. Need I continue? And you really think they wouldn't impeach Bush AND Cheney?
President Pelosi . . . don't tell me she hasn't doodled that during her daydreaming episodes.
This is absurd hysteria. Even if Bush and/or Cheney was impeached, it takes 67 Senate votes to remove them, that is not even a remote possibility. And even if it was, there is no way that the two could be removed at the exact same time, they couldn't even pull that off with Nixon and Agnew.
You don't get it. They don't really care if they succeed or not. Or sure, "Madam Pelosi" would do the dance of joy.
The Democrat goal is destruction. If they could get a House vote for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney, even if the Senate didn't approve it, they and their terrorist media allies at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the NYT would use the propaganda night and day to undermine the Republican Party...
Democrats are INSANE for power. They will do anything, no matter how crazy or insane.
Look Dan Rather threw his own stinking career away over an OBVIOUSLY forged document.
The media propaganda machine FLAGRANTLY AND BLATANTLY LIED to the public in declaring John Kerry president so that they could depress the East Coast vote.
There is no depth too low for the Democrats or their terrorist media allies to go in trying to gain power.
