Are you kidding? The Black Caucus and Ms Nancy P. would of had a Bill of Impeachment on the floor the next day.

Impeach him" You KNOW that they would of reacted this way. Bush is in a perfect Catch 22 Do it and catch hell from the Left. DON't do it, catch hell from the Left. See post 13 of this thread. The Truth IS starting to get out.
