Why doesn't anyone have President Bush impeached? They impeached former President Clinton for a sex act...

Question

I just find it odd, that President Bush can send thousands of people to their graves and nobody is doing anything about it.

Answer 1

Clinton was not impeached for a sex act. He was impeached because he committed a felony (perjury).

Answer 2

Its ineffective, first the President has to commit a impeacheable offense like "treason, bribery, or different intense crimes and misdemeanors . Secondly the approach might take consistently purely to commence up, he may well be long long gone out of workplace, in the past it became even started. Thirdly the democrats mechanically called for it, top now they are able or maybe regarded that they might not do it. After the impeachment then the senate might could convict him. So no longer gonna happen. He hasnt broken any rules, and incredibly there isn't any reason to question him, he's gonna be long gone in a year, concern with regard to the subsequent president.

Answer 3

Clinton wasn't impeached for a sex act! He was impeached for the criminal act of lying under oath in a court of law. Perjury isn't about WHAT you lied about, it's about the fact that you LIED.



And it is fully within the President's legal powers to deploy the military as an instrument of national foreign policy and in the interests of national security. Considering this was supported by Congress, it's all very legal and Constitutional.



Just because people disagree with him or dislike him doesn't mean you can impeach him.

Answer 4

I find it odd that this questions gets asked and answerd about a bazillion times a day and some people just keep asking it like it just popped into their heads.



The President can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. That means that he has to commit a crime to be impeached. President Bush has committed no crimes and everything that he did, he did with the advice and consent of Congress



Bill Clinton was not impeached for his escapades with Fat Monica, both with and sans White Owls. He was impeached for lying to Congress, a Grand Jury and the American People.

Answer 5

Clinton was not impeached for a "sex act." He was impeached for perjury and hindering prosecution.

As for sending thousands of people to their graves, such is the reality of war. People sometimes have to die for freedom and the protection of others. Every President has sent troops to fight, some of whom pay the ultimate sacrifice. You can't impeach a President just because you don't like them or their policies.

Answer 6

Pathetic. Clinton wasn't impeached for a "sex act", he was impeached for blatantly lying to the American people UNDER OATH. If you're going to ask biased, inane questions, at least get the premise right.

Answer 7

Nice try, Clinton was Impeached for Perjury. Not for Debriefing His Staffmember.

Answer 8

What happened in Vietnam? What happened in WWII & WW1? - Talk to your history teacher - Talk to your friends & family. Maybe the Presidents of those wars were impeached according to urban legend but i really don't think so.

Answer 9

Because thousands more Americans would have died had we not fought this war. Don't you understand? If terrorists take over, you won't have a president-- you'll have a dictator, and you won't have the freedom to say anything bad about him without having your head cut off. That's what they do to people in these countries who talk smack about their leaders. These men and women are sacrificing their lives for people like you just so you can say what you want, have opinions, be able to vote, and so on. These freedoms you and me enjoy aren't cheap.

Answer 10

If you think of it, trying to impeach the President, wouldn't solve any of the problems you might be thinking of. In fact, at this particular juncture, it would definitely make matters worse.

Answer 11

no clinton was not impeached , if he would have been impeached we would have had the vice president for our president..... so clinton just got a slap on the hand for a sex scandal.



they choose to joint the military knowing the risks my husband was in the army and I have other friends in the militery as well but you have to realize bush is not killing them, they are over there fighting for our freedom as well if you dont remember this all started back on 9-11-2001 and it has not stoped since so instead of complaining about bush suport the men and wimon over there fighting for our contry and freedom.......

Answer 12

Our soldiers are VOLUNTEERS. They knew what they might be getting into when they signed up. Why didn't we impeach Roosevelt when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? We, as a country are at war. If you don't like it MOVE!

Answer 13

Because Americans love war. They would never impeach a president for killing 100,000 people, but they would for a sexual act between 2 consenting adults.



We're just a bunch of crazies.

Answer 14

they never impeached clinton, but i do like your cop question
