Can a Republican ever get Impeached?

So, to Speaker Pelosi - Why, exactly, is Impeachment "off the table"? Hmm? Why?



Afraid people will think you are doing it as a Purely Political move? To place yourself one step closer to the Presidency? (according the the Presidential Succession articles).



Then there is a simple solution, Impeach Vice President Cheney. First. Then once he is removed from office (leaving Bush with no brain, now that Rove is "gone"?) and a replacement is chosen, according to Statute, you will be no closer to the Oval office and can proceed with Impeachment against Bush.



To not proceed with Impeachment proceedings, is to cast aside a Legally Mandated means of addressing the grievious abuses of power committed by this administration.



You will reap the scorn of a great majority of the American people who believe in the rule of Law.
