Has George W. Bush committed impeachable offenses?
I think the question kind of speaks for itself.

Nope, but Bill Clinton was impeached and Obama won't even furnish his birth certificate. Hopefully they will have a public excecution of him at some point in our lifetimes.

REPLY TO VOTINGISUSELESS: the CIA form of torture doesn't harm the person in anyway. Waterboarding just drips water down the person for less than 30 seconds, but somehow makes the person feel like they are drowning. It is an affective tool that only causes some discomfort to the victim. It has worked very effectively on interrogation and it doesn't call for inhumane acts. Also if Bush is bad then all the European countries are bad. Britan France etc. all have thousands of cameras throughout their country spying on their entire country. Also no bush isn't committing impeachable offenses REPLY TO NO TO D: Andrew Jackson. He disobeyed hid duty as president. When the Supreme court ordered that the Cherokee nation could not be relocated by Georgia Andrew Jackson did nothing to stop the people of Georgia. And in the consititution it states that the president is required to uphold the laws of the constitution.

None that are known. Impeachable offenses are high crimes and misdemeanors. Clinton was impeached because he lied in Federal Court, under oath. This was not a subjective judgment but an established fact.
On the other hand; Bush has been charged by his political enemies (especially in the media) with many things, none have been based on proven facts, thus he has never been formally charged. Some examples:
He lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Actually, he reported what his intelligence people, British, French, German and Russian intelligence told him. They were wrong, thus the info he told us was wrong, not a deliberate lie.
He led us into an illegal war. Not so. the invasion of Iraq was sanctioned by the UN and our Congress.
He invaded our privacy and deprived us of our rights as citizens. These charges are emotional ones by Bush haters. The actions he took to protect us from the terrorists were sanctioned by the Patriot Act as passed by Congress and approved by the courts.
He and Vice President Cheney were in the pocket of their rich industrial friends. Another emotional smear by Bush haters. No charges have ever been filed as there is absolutely no evidence of it. Having rich friends is not a crime.
As time passes, so will the Bush haters. Then, unbiased historians will judge Bush and his presidency.

George W. Bush did nothing wrong to ever be impeached and besides, the Atlanta Hawks would have had to won the NBA Championship before Bush ever got impeached and since the Hawks never won the NBA Title under Bush presidency, Bush could never be impeached.

If he did you are a day late and a dollar short to do anything about it. The next question you should be asking is has Barrack H. Obama committed impeachable offenses and when will something be done about, and yes the question kind of speaks for itself.

No.if the question speaks for itself,then you must have something specific in mind.But since you haven't made your offenses public here,there can't really be any.G.W. might not have been the best President the country has ever had,but he did nothing that those before him didn't.And I didn't hear the cry of impeachment for all the rest(well,Nixon and Clinton excluded).

The Congress, both parties, gave Bush the OK to do what he did. Also as president, he had the power to do what he did. Pelosi took impeachment off the table. Rather than admit the complicity of the Democrats in the actions of the Bush administration, she said she didn't want to tie up the government with impeachment procedings. They still say Bush lied to them to get their vote to use force in Iraq, but if you look in Youtube, you can see all the major democrats in 1998 saying how dangerous Hussein was to our national security. In view of that, the Democrats are liars too I would say.

Don't U mean Barack Hussein Obama he is getting close to committing impeachable offense.Bush has been out of office for 1 yr and never was charged with anything.
- BrianneLv 71 decade ago
Not hardly, he didn't get impeached did he? The left have watched him so close that had he done even the least of the crimes they would have nailed him to the wall and they didn't find anything so I guess not.

THe dems promised to impeach him once they took the house, and the republicans called their bluff and put the impeachment proceedings up for a vote.....and we all know the dems for some reason refused to follow through and impeach the guy...I think their actions, or lack thereof speaks for itself

If the question speaks for itself, then why are you asking it? Did he lie under oath like Clinton did when he got impeached?
