Cheney is the only one protecting Bush from impeachment. The Libs will go after both, but can only get one at a time. If he retains any sense it should know Cheney is more repugnant to Kooks and therefore his buffer.

he had better treat him with more respect then he did Rummy and Ashcroft. Though I don't hold out hope.

The 'Rats could impeach Cheney or Bush by a straight party-line vote, even if they lost a few Democrats from conservative districts who balked at going along with such a travesty, but they would need a 2/3 vote for removal by the Senate, and they wouldn't be able to get that--there aren't enough RINOs to vote with them, and two or three of the Democrat senators would probably refuse to go along.

"High crimes and misdemeanors" can mean whatever Congress wants it to mean, but absence any evidence of wrong-doing, trying to remove the Vice President or President for blatantly partisan reasons would not go over well with the middle-of-the-road voters.
