So what happens if * is inaugurated before we prove he rigged |
|
the election? Can a president be impeached for stealing an election? If so, does Cheney have the right to be Pres since he was on the same ticket or would it go to the next in line?

reminds me of the gerald ford 1974 scenario- from minority leader of the house to president in what 8 months?
as LBJ said, he thought Gerald Ford played too much football without a helmet.
i will say this, for him though- i've met Kerry, Kennedy, Nader, Udall, and heard a host of others speak- but i once shook hands with ford (1976)and he was the flatout most presidential-looking person i'd ever seen.
not charismatic, just looked straight at you and shook your hand like it meant something.

Then Bush could and would be impeached, if it were proven that he was involved.
Cheney would then be President, unless it could be proved that he was involved.
Dennis Hastert is third in line.

Regularly brings home the BIG BACON for Alaska. He's God up here. He's kind of a crotchety old guy. I'm sure he's had his shady dealings (I mean, after all, he's been in Washington since 1970), but I think his heart's probably in the right place, if such can ever be said of a Republican politician. I doubt that he's particularly impressed by Georgie Boy.

Elaine Chao is disqualified because she is not a natural U.S. citizen; that is, she was not born here and therefore she cannot assume the office of president. Homeland Security Secretary will be moved up to number eight pending legislative changes. The first Democrat on that list is Norman Yoshio Mineta... Perhaps it could get down to him... lol :eyes:

I've thought about it that way myself. I know a number of Republicans whom I have talked to here who have told me that Bush should have already been impeached for his crimes. So, I do think that there would be enough public outcry to make them think. Would they actually follow through with it? I don't know.

IF fraud were eventually PROVEN,
and IF Bush and/or Cheney were implicated,
and IF it were so obvious that even Republicans were against him,
then I think both parties would apply pressure for Cheney to resign,
and for Bush to appoint Kerry as his Vice President,
and for Bush to resign.
That's a bunch of pretty big "IF"s . . .

Bush and Cheney are the types to carry grudges. Bush would definitely NOT do the honorable thing. And even if he did the Republicans would not confirm Kerry as Vice-President, because they are just that petty and small in their thinking and outlook.

I don't think that even if fraud is proven against Bush/Cheney personally that it would fit the definition of treason in the Constitution, Article III, Section 3.
"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution. The Framers intended the very specific definition here to prevent the loose use of the charge of treason-----for example, against persons who criticize the government. Treason can be committed only in time of war and only by a citizen or resident alien.
The only recourse would be enough pressure brought to bear to force resignations. With this Congress, I doubt that even impeachment would be viable.

Treason is not the only grounds listed as impeachable offenses. HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS. Read the Nixon proceedings and then you will truly understand grounds for impeachment. Bush and Cheney fit it to a "T." Furthermore, read John Dean's, Nixon's former White House Counsel, book Worse Than Watergate. He was around for that scandal, and he's an expert and Republican who says that there are CLEAR AND PRESENT grounds for impeachment. The only thing that prevents it is that the media is not doing their jobs to inform the people, and Congressional makeup actually plays very little part in it. Keep in my that the Republicans went along with the Nixon impeachment... :eyes:

3)E-voting will be out or fixed (repaired) which means they'll never win another election again. The only reason they have been winning all these races fraud, they can't win without it.

Not just e-fraud. A lot (most?) was plain old fashioned dirty tricks. Moving polling places, putting precincts together, not giving adequate resources to the opposition's precincts, etc. They may have e-frosted the cake, but they baked it from time tested recipes.
--MarkusQ
P.S. Also, it isn't clear to me that we know enough to secure e-voting at this point. At least, every week or two I think up a new way it could be rigged, and that means there are probably lots more I haven't thought of.

14. Jonathan Turley addressed this issue in his Countdown interview |
|
While reviewing the various upcoming deadlines, the last one he mentioned was Inauguration Day. Hypothetically speaking, of course, if one proved fraud after a president were inaugurated, too bad. The only way he or she could be removed after the swearing in ceremony would be to acquire literal proof the inaugurated president had involvement in the fraud. Barring that proof, the only way he or she could be removed would be through the traditional means one removes any president: proof of high crimes and misdemeanors.
So, hypothetically speaking, if on January 21, you acquired proof Karl Rove "stole" the election for Bush*, tough luck for Kerry, unless you could prove Bush* had knowledge and participation in the theft. Barring that proof of Bush* involvement, four more years for Bush*.

Damn I should start a new career as a PR person.

a person could be on Zoloft or Paxil or something like that which can make them feel sluggish, etc without being considered incompetant-but my point was IF they would use such a ploy they will be quick to deny that he still requires medication or IF he was on some type of meds, usually after 1-2 months the body compensates and you lose that strange disjointed feeling. You can be sure if push comes to shove they will have some very PLAUSIBLE explanation of why George did not know about a vote fix.

You are correct about removal of the president after inauguration. It is clearly spelled out in the Constitution. He can only be removed at that point by impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Unless Cheney were also implicated and impeached, he would become president.

that this conspiracy, no matter how evident to us, can actually be traced directly to Rove and Bush? I think it is a real one, but no-one has suggested ashred of evidence that this driven in any way nationally, with the exception of aiding and abetting by the RNC. don't get me wrong, thgis whole thing has a perfectly rovian aroma, but i just don't see it getting any higher than feeny, some rnc, and about 1,500 party apparatchniks across the US- oh, and a few corporations.
and that the 109th congress, which won't even let dems in on rulemaking, just made a rule that would enable an indicted Majority leader to keep his post pending a review by the party caucus, and has threatened to go nuclear on judgeships and abridge the filibuster would vote to impeach and try bush on election fraud? How about engaging us in a war under demonstrably false premises? No?
I posted earlier tonite that i believe it would be the 110th congress that would begin to address all these grievences. the 109th has all but made its bed; the dems have refused until too late to frame the vote fraud issue as a constitional issue. That in turn sent a message out to a lot of new voters about what dems would fight for; and it sent a message out to new voters and new dem activists that we are wallowing in the culture of concession. The problem is imho, and it is only my opinion, that by not burning down the house on enfranchisement now, we have really jeopardized the support of people in 2006- even if we could make sure that the votes would be counted. but after "losing" three consecutive federal elections in four years, that the dems were unprepared to deral proactively with issue, and then were sluggush to react; well, you can only shoot yourself in the foot so many times before you run out of bullets or shoe leather.

Whatever happens, happens now or never. That is why the Bev Harris situation was bad. All of these people who claim they know something have to prove it NOW. It is D Day folks. I am still thinking of hauling my ass outa here if nothing happens. A lot of Dems tell me this is an overreaction ,but they thought I overreacted to 2000 as well. I regret I didn't leave then, but I was talked into staying. I only have to find a way of getting money consolidated , sell house and stuff and look into a job market. But I am hoping against hope it doesn't come to that. Please somone have some proof!

43. If Bush won by fraud, I'll bet some Reps in Congress did, too. |
|
Someone should start looking at those races, starting with Tom Daschl, the majority leader at the top of the GOP hit list.
If fraud is proven once, the public would be more apt to believe it in subsequent cases. Who knows how many Congressional and Senate seats should really be occupied by Democrats?
Has anyone check to see if when votes were dropped, switched to Bush, etc., how that affected the Senate candidates (or House members) in those areas?

53. THIS IS FRAUD: the courts can overturn the election!!! |
|
If widespread fraud and irregularities are proven that would change the results of the election, the courts could overturn the outcome and give it to Kerry/Edwards. That's what happens in fraud and perjury cases. Bush can still move on back to Crawford and Cheney to whatever hole he'd call home.
I fought the government for 6 years to get my retirement and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was instrumental in overturning the OPM decision (because the IRS had breached an agreement with me) and I got the retirement retroactive to the time I left.

That's the only way I see an impeachment. It's much more likely that someone lower on the totem pole would take the fall.

Who was actually responsible for election fraud, or proving that Kerry actually won and the presidency of Bush or any other Republican is thereby invalid? If Bush didn't win, doesn't that render the whole idea of a Republican presidency redundant?
If it begins to look as if there's definite, provable fraud before January 20th, is there any provision for having the inauguration postponed until the matter is settled clearly one way or the other?

65. Same thing happened in 2000 I guess. MSM sorta wrote - in a convoluted |

way that Gore won (by 202 votes only if you eliminate the fake military ballots), and many other scenarios... And then, 911 came , and we loved him for it - at least so we were told.
