Impatience with the Democrats in Congress seems to grow daily about their inaction to begin impeachment proceedings of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, which a slight majority of Americans seem to want.Democratic leaders have ready reasons to not consider impeachment at this time. They cite lack of support in the Congress, or an unwillingness to “divide the country” that Bush has been dividing for more than six years. Democratic leaders also claim that impeachment would preclude action on other important matters.
Both the pro-impeachment forces and the anti-impeachment crowd have valid arguments for their positions just as there are invalid arguments for their stands. This article will not side with either one, but will only look at the issue from a neutral standpoint.
