Republican Senator Chuck Hagel utters the "I" word!
Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska has uttered the "I" word against President Bush and claims there's support for it. Do you AGREE with him or or STRONGLY DISAGREE?
Here's a primer: The Constitution, Article 2, section 4, allows the removal of federal officers (including the President) "from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The methods for impeachment are outlined in Article 1, sections 2 & 3: "The House of Representatives shall ... have the sole power of impeachment." "The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments." ONLY two Presidents have EVER been impeached (Andrew Johnson and Bill clinton). No President has EVER been convicted by the Senate and removed from office!
