That would be cool - Pelosi would be immediately become president.

4. If only there were the time.

That means that Bush would have to die or go into a coma during the procedure to give them enough time to do it. But the fact is Cheney could be impeached anyway without becoming President, so why not try that first?

7. wrong reason
Even if there was the will, there wouldn't be the time. And even if there were the time, chimpy would become president again when he recovered.

8. I don't think there are any provisions restricting when impeachment happens
He can be impeached any time.

He can be impeached in a box.
He can be impeached with a fox.
He can be impeached on a train.
He can be impeached in the rain.

etc...
