We'd still end up w/ Cheney. I think this is what scares the Dems about going after Bush. Bush had enough foresight to make sure the next in lines were EVEN worse than HE is.
Who would be next in line after Cheney?

1. We also don't control the House or Senate, |
|
which means we can't launch Congressional investigations.

4. impeach one, may as well impeach two |
|
Cheney is complicit in whatever Bush is doing, so why not impeach both at the same time?

Condi. Right? OMG! OOPS, my mistake, I forgot Speaker Hastart. Sadly, it doesn't seem to get any better no matter how far down the line you go! Can you impeach the entire right side of the Senate and House?

9. Going down the chain of authority ... |

6. Per our "quaint" Constitution, the Speaker of the House is 3rd in line |
|
I suppose some forgot their basic civics .... or maybe the Constitution is so decried by our opposition no one pays attention any more.

10. Hastert is power hungry without making it look obvious. He wants to win |
|
in 2008. But he'd rather win as an incumbent.
I could see him engineering impeachment of * and indictment of Cheney, making him in line to take the Oath of Office. And he'd come off looking like a republican/neocon with integrity as he turned on his own in order to "clean house" (White House, that is).
It's the perfect Marchiavellian plan and Karl Rove will never see it coming and will not be able to stop it once it's in play.

11. The "succession line" is really not rather a positive, unless... |
|
we can get them ALL on something. Bush is an "empty suit". Impeach him without getting to the "lines" on down, could be a domino effect, but, I wouldn't count on the the House or Senate to fly that way!

13. Impeaching any of them would be a win. |
|
The rest would be quaking in their wingtips, lest they be targeted next.

14. The important thing is to get rid of B*sh. Very few other Repukes |
|
seem to have his goofy, any-idjit-can-beecum-Preznit appeal. Even if Cheney wanted to take over as President after B*sh's second term, the scowling ass-clown just doesn't have what it takes to inspire the idiot worshippers on the right. They could just all stay home in Nov. 2008. That would certainly help us.

15. Line of sucession goes |
|
President Vice-president Speaker of House President of the Senate
Cabinet Members in order of their department's founding
Secretary of State Secretary of Treasury Secretary of Defense Attorney General
and so on
So who is the President of the Senate now that it was discovered that ol' Strom had been dead? Is it Ted Stevens?
