Should we impeach Bush?
A local lawyer who is a part time prosecutor brought this up today. He said he won't vote for Bush despite the fact he is an avowed conservative. He said that everyone seems to have overlooked the Constitution.
He then went on line and showed me this:
5. Article II, Section 4 provides:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of , Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
He said he read Plan of Attack and in it Woodward said he was told by the Bush people that Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar promised Bush that they would bring down the price of oil for the Presidential election.
He said since Bush is pushing the book on his website and never denied that he secured such a promise from Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia that he believes their should have been an investigation.
He further said that when a law mentions a specific instance of how it applies it carries greater weight than other references. He said that means that bribery is specifically mentioned because it is considered a specific example of when the law applies. Therefore there is evidence of a crime and it has not been pursued. He said if he were the Attorney General he would have sent subpoenas out immediately.
I thought this was quite interesting.
Any opinions?
