"Impeach him by all means and I hope all the conservative republican senators then vote to convict because we will have a President Cheney for the remainder of this term. That is why the democrats dare not impeach him."

Then again, if Bush AND Cheney get sucessfully impeached, you will have President Pelosi for the remainder.

They can impeach Cheney or Bush to hell but there is no way either can be removed without conservative republicans agreeing to same. It takes 67 votes in the senate to remove the president or vice president. No way, Jose. Unless, of course, the conservatives may wish to remove one or the other and no sane conservative would vote to remove Dick Cheney, about the only conservative left in the upper eschelons of this administration.

It takes just over 50% of the vote in the House to impeach, but it takes over two thirds in the Senate to convict. This is extremely difficult to pull off, and an impeachment that is purely political risks a major voter backlash.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing this at all. There's no way that they could get Bush removed from office, and it would distract them from doing everything they can to screw America over the next two years.
