Could the American people get a class action lawsuit together??

...and sue President Bush for all the damage he did to America during his presidency? Would they have a chance at winning that lawsuit?

Update:

to Salsa Shark: I assume nothing and I don't hate Bush, I am merely wondering how the American people can get their America back and if this is a way to do it. However, You so much as proved in writing you ASSUMED I hated Bush. DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING IT CAN COME BACK TO BITE YOU!!!

    I believe the President is impervious from being sued. I think this would extend to his post office years regaring his time in office.

    The Congress can "sue" him. Contact them and ask them to do it. "Impeach" is the word. It would make a big impact on his post term years.

    g-day!

    For the love of God quit living in La-La land. So you hate Bush, bravo...you have a lot of company. But don't delude yourself like this. Your question assumes "the American People" are like-minded in your pursuit of foolish litigation. And if you're source for the pulse of "the American People" as pertains to Bush is from polling data, then I'd say your endeavors would be more likely to strike a chord by suing the collective members of Congress.

    My little corner of America is doing pretty well except for all the illegals. I'm making good money and living in a nice neighborhood. The stock market is BOOMING, unemployment is at an all time low, Not sure what you think he did to America.

    I would have no desire to get into that suit.

    No for two reasons.

    First, federal law grants absolute immunity to elected officials from civil damages related to their conduct in office. That's why Plame's suit was recently dismissed.

    Second, constitutional standing requires a unique personal harm -- not the same generalized harm suffered by everyone else.

    To answer your question, No. For a million reasons:

    1. you would never get enough support from people

    2. the president has personal immunity

    3. you can't prove that any damage was done

    4. most people are quite happy with their lives in America

    5. etc. etc.

    The judge will throw it out right away and say that the president has "Presidential sovereignty." It has happened before, and will happen again.
