“gross incompetence should be grounds for impeachment”

I would add that to the parts of the Constitution he has violated. (I'm no lawyer, but these parts seem appropriate to the topic of removal.)

Speaking of the King of Great Britain, the founding fathers say

*”He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation til his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.”

*”He has erected a multitude of New Offices (i.e. czars), and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

*”For imposing Taxes on us without our consent:”

*”He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns (he hasn't done that part YET), and destroyed the lives of our people.”

*”In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms (Tea Parties, etc.): Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

It seems to me that history is repeating itself.

It is indeed. My fear is that the people of today are not made from as independent and rugged stock as those of the 18th century. So many would rather focus on American Idol, hussies in orange county and NJ, or a myriad of other mindless drivel.
