Dan's the one who's right here -- Article 1, Sections 2 & 3: "the House shall have the sole power of impeachment"; "the Senate shall have the sole power of impeachment" (italics added)
Senators and Congressmen are federal officers and cannot be removed from office save for "high crimes and misdeamors". Any state recall laws would be unconstitutional and challenged (most likely successfully) by a person they tried to remove; the powerful protect each other.

Sorry.

Maybe its the fact that he acts and looks like an everyday American. Sort of like Gerald Ford. He's the type of guys you'd have a beer at the local tavern with. Some of it is 9/11, but ex-mayor Giuliani of NY gained much more in popularity. Bush showed some guts after 9/11 and immediately went after Afghanistan. IMO had Gore been president, their would have been a longer wait or even no war at all. He would have blamed it on american foreign policy and continued the self-loathing.Quote:
The only reason I can think he's popular is because he happened to be in power during the 9/11 crisis, and a lot of scared people decided to make him a hero because he was the country's leader. If Gore -- or Eminem -- or anybody else had been president at the time, people would have considered them to be great leaders, too, IMHO.
So can somebody please tell me one thing that Bush has done that has been to the benefit of the American people as a whole, and not just to the benefit of big business, ultra-conservative Christians or the military status quo?
Dan thanks for proving me generally correct, I had already began to think it might be a local state thing in places hence not a US law.
And how about Trafficant he even still managed to get close to 27,500 votes even in prision! LOL.

What I can't figure out is -- why is Bush so popular? He's in the back pocket of so many big businesses it's unreal, and as a result he is constantly trying to find new ways to overturn any law (particularly, environmental laws) that corporate officials don't like. He hasn't done anything that has helped the country.
Hasn't helped the country? Actually allowing our intelligence and law enforcement to go after terrorists; something we could have done in the '90s with some leadership (and I have particular knowneldge of this part...) isn't doing something?
Now that would be funny:DQuote:
