27. lol...I completely disagree with you
Congress absolutely should, without reservation, impeach George W. Bush. There's no question at all that he's grossly abused his Article II powers, and that alone is grounds for impeachment. It's not about the war, which would be incredibly shaky ground to base an impeachment proceeding on. Signing statements are the clearest evidence of impeachment I can think of.

Too many people in here have no idea what impeachment really is. It's a legislative check on an overreaching executive. It's how the Constitution intended Congress to curb the executive and maintain it's own governmental perogatives.

The problem is that the House leadership utterly refuses to accept the authority granted by the Constitution to govern the country. When Nancy Pelosi said "Impeachment is off the table", she directly and irrefutably violated her own oath of office.
