>>>What the freak does it take to Impeach this President?"<<<


Same thing as it takes for politicians to do anything - public support which translates to votes. It's all about doing the popular thing - not the right thing.


"The poll from InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion asked a sample of 621 Americans, "Would you favor or oppose the impeachment by Congress of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney?"

A total of 39% who answered said they favored impeachment, according to Towery. In opposition were 55% of respondents, with 6% answering undecided or don't know. There was a 4% margin of error."

As usual, the american public demonstrates that stupidity is an important part of being a superpower. Only 28% approve of Bush's work overall, 52% believe he lied us into war
http://www.angusreid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/14100 but only 39% support impeachment. Which suggests that some 15% of the US population think Bush is a criminal who so far has gotten 3,400 US soldiers and 600,000 Iraqi civilians killed in a bogus war but that's no reason to remove him from office.
