Click here to read House Resolution 1258 : Detailed Reasons For Impeachment

REASONS (IN BRIEF) WHY BUSH AND CHENEY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED:

WARRANTLESS SEARCHES: ordering the National Security Agency to conduct secret warrantless searches and seizures of the private personal communications of American citizens, without oversight by the legislative or judicial branches of the government, in violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of the Congress (FISA 1978);
TORTURE: authorizing and permitting torture against human beings, in violation of the Geneva Conventions (1864-1949) and the United Nations Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1985);
INDEFINITE DETENTION: depriving American citizens of their constitutionally guaranteed rights regarding unjust imprisonment and speedy and public trial, in violation of their rights to guaranteed liberty and due process of law in the 5th and 6th Amendments;
WAR OF AGGRESSION: launching an illegal, unjust and undeclared war against the sovereign state of Iraq, in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and Chapters 1, 6, and 7 of the Charter of the United Nations (1945);
USE OF ILLEGAL WEAPONS: authorizing the use of illegal chemical and radioactive weapons in military campaigns, notably white phosphorous and depleted uranium in Iraq, in violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR 1948);
DELIBERATE DECEPTIONS: repeatedly, consciously, and with forethought, lying to the American people and the U.S. Congress by providing false and deceptive rationales for an unjustified and illegal war in Iraq, obstructing justice by destroying evidence, and covering up the truth about the 9-11 attacks;
ATTACKING CIVILIANS: authorizing, ordering, and condoning direct military attacks on civilians and civilian homes and communities, thereby causing widespread death, maiming and destruction in Iraq, in violation of Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and
VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES: violating and unilaterally abrogating lawful signatory treaties, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (1972) between the United States and Russia, the Treaty of Rome (1950) establishing the International Criminal Court and the Geneva Conventions providing for humane treatment of combatants and civilians, in violation of Article VI of the Constitution acknowledging these treaties to be "the Supreme Law of the Land."

OFFENSES FOR WHICH IMPEACHMENT IS REQUIRED

By Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution - "shall be removed from Office" clause

Which of these impeachable offences do you or your Congressperson think the Americans people should have to endure without penalty for law-breaking?

It is documented that all these actions have been committed by President George W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and/or their staff:

IRAQ:

Misleading the public that the Admin.'s primary goal after 9/11 was to find Osama bin Laden, while undermining efforts in Afghanistan by moving troops and equipment from there to Iraq in early 2002
Deceiving Congress into believing that the Oct. 2002 resolution to authorize force was only meant to intimidate Iraq into allowing inspections, and that the US would only attack upon approval by the UN Security Council (while the Bush Admin. had decided months before to invade Iraq regardless of what UN inspectors found)
Lying about the reasons to invade Iraq, thus usurping Congress' constitutional prerogative to decide when to wage war ("the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy", to quote the July 2002 Downing Street Memo by Britain's chief of intelligence)
935 false statements leading up to the invasion of Iraq made by key members of the Bush Administration that Iraq was a national security threat to the U.S. (tally by the Center for Public Integrity, Jan. 2008)
Bush and Cheney's repeated false claims of illegal WMDs present in Iraq, well after they had knowledge that this was untrue
Bush and Cheney's repeated false claims of a solid, continuing link between Iraq and Al Qaeda long after they had knowledge that this was untrue
Bush's lie about Iraq's pursuit of uranium from Niger in the Jan. 2003 State of the Union Address, a violation of the False Statements Accountability Act of 1996 (a felony)
Bush's lies to Congress in his March 18, 2003 letter which made 2 claims he knew to be false (felonies): that Iraq threatened the national security of the U.S., and that war against Iraq was part of action against international terrorism
Misleading statements to Congress and the American public regarding the probable cost, difficulty, loss of life, and duration of the war on Iraq
Invading Iraq without the support of the United Nations and without a true, informed resolution by both houses of Congress (possible violation of the UN Charter, the Nuremberg Charter, and the U.S. War Powers Act of 1973)
Failure to plan responsibly for the occupation of Iraq (disregarding advice from Middle East experts, the State Dept., the Council on Foreign Relations, intelligence agencies, various generals, and even the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute), which has resulted in a protracted insurgency
Reckless disregard for human life in failing to provide a sufficient number of bulletproof vests for a large number of troops in Iraq for several years into the war, even though the war began on the U.S.' timetable, not in response to an attack or imminent threat
Reckless disregard for human life in failing to provide adequately armored Humvees for the troops in Iraq, even though the war began on the U.S.' timetable, not in response to an attack or imminent threat
Lying to the public in an effort to cover-up these failures to equip the troops
Failure to hold any officials accountable for these failures
Punitive action against high officials who disagreed with the Admin.'s war plans and predictions, which may violate federal laws on retaliation against witnesses, etc.
The awarding of giant no-bid contracts in Iraq to Cheney's former firm Halliburton at the same time as Cheney continued to gain financially via deferred stock pay outs from the company
Failure to curb Halliburton's over-billing and under-performance in Iraq at great cost to taxpayers and to the reconstruction efforts in Iraq, and to the increasing discontent of Iraqis (thus partly fueling the insurgency)
Failure to take action after a series of shooting incidents and warnings over 2 years indicated that Blackwater and other private security firms were out of control in Iraq
Tolerance of an atmosphere of corruption among war profiteers and disorganization among bureaucrats which has resulted in $9 billion of taxpayer money going missing in Iraq.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL ABROGATION OF POWERS TO EXECUTIVE (ABUSE OF POWER):

Bush's deliberate and secret defiance of at least 750 laws passed by Congress through his use of ‘signing statements' which made his signing them into law void where the Executive was concerned.
Bush's continuing use of undisclosed signing statements, well after he has been criticized for the practice, in order to mislead the public into thinking he has accepted bills passed by Congress which are veto-proof or which he does not care to expend political capital trying to veto.
Bush's disregard for the will of the public, laws passed by the U.S. Congress, decisions by the judiciary, and states' rights in his insistence on the U.S. Navy's use of anti-submarine sonar in the Pacific Ocean (sonar is painful and lethal to whales and other marine mammals, according to: state and federal environmental law, a decision of the California Coastal Commission, and an injunction by a federal court to restrict it).
Bush's disregard for the will of the public and failure to faithfully execute the law through his signing statement that effectively negates the Sudan Divestment Act in response to the Darfur genocide.

PRESIDENCY ABOVE THE LAW:

Allowing the disclosure of the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA agent, a likely federal crime under the Covert Agent Identity Protection Act of 1982 and other laws, as political retribution for the refutation by the agent's husband of Admin. claims that Iraq was buying uranium from Niger.
Improper destruction of large numbers of emails from the relevant time period
The endangerment of intelligence operations surrounding Plame through this disclosure, and the impairment of U.S. goals of nuclear non-proliferation, an area which had been Plame's special focus
Bush's false promises to the public in 2003 and 2004 that he would thoroughly investigate and punish whoever had leaked Plame's identity; instead, Bush commuted the perjury and obstruction of justice sentence of his and Cheney's national security affairs assistant I. Lewis Libby
Cheney's possible involvement in outing Plame, per Libby's testimony that Plame's identity had come from Cheney
Potential obstruction of justice and conspiracy to cover-up the White House role by withholding 250 pages of emails from the president's office for many months after they had been requested by the special prosecutor investigating the Plame outing
Bush's post-invasion declassification of only misleading passages of the Oct. 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, distorting the overall message of the NIE (a report which had actually contradicted the Admin.'s claims against Iraq) to try to cover-up Admin. deceptions leading to war
Obstruction of justice in the investigation of the allegedly politically-motivated firing of 9 U.S. attorneys, and in other investigations: destruction of vast numbers of pertinent emails, refusal to allow Karl Rove and Joshua Bolton to obey Congressional subpoenas
Obstruction of congressional investigations into 9/11, Katrina, pre-war intelligence, torture, Cheney's energy task force, and others
Conspiring to strip Americans of their citizenship at will by insisting that the President has the unilateral right to declare anyone he chooses an "enemy combatant" and incarcerate them indefinitely without charge, upon secret evidence, and without normal rights to a fair trial, in violation of both the Sixth and the Fourteenth Amendments

DENIAL OF CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE OF RIGHT TO KNOW CHARGES (HABEAS CORPUS):

Bush's DOJ imprisoned hundreds of detainees for years on end, suspending and denying them the Constitutional right of habeas corpus (the right to know what charges are levied against you and the right to legal defense) and denying them contact with family, and subjecting them to torture -- many of whom were simply of Middle Eastern descent with no ties with or knowledge of terrorist activities.

ILLEGAL TORTURE & GULAGS:

Obstruction of congressional demands for information on hundreds of hours of CIA interrogation tapes that were destroyed despite an explicit order from Sen. Ted Kennedy five months earlier (in June 2005) to preserve all evidence on torture and mistreatment of Guantanamo detainees
The appearance of a cover-up in attempts by the Justice Dept. to make a federal judge desist from examining the matter of the destroyed tapes, the destruction of which had been discussed in advance with White House lawyers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, John Bellinger III, and Harriet Myers
Bush's refusal to execute McCain's Jan. 2006 law banning torture (passed 90-9 in the Senate and with a veto-proof margin in the House) by adding a ‘signing statement' exempting himself from obeying it
High level Bush Admin. memos prescribing torture for detainees, in violation of the Geneva Conventions, the UN Convention Against Torture, the U.S.' 1996 War Crimes Act, a 1994 U.S. anti torture law (now Sections 2340-2340A of the Criminal Code), and also the Eighth Amendment (against "cruel and unusual punishments") and the Fifth Amendment (against "compelled" confessions in a criminal case)
Deliberate actions to circumvent the Geneva Conventions, the U.N. Convention Against Torture, and the U.S. Constitution by incarcerating hundreds of prisoners of war at Guantanamo Bay, where the International Committee of the Red Cross described their mistreatment as "tantamount to torture"
Payment of bounties to Northern Alliance forces in Afghanistan for each captive rounded up, resulting in incarceration of many inmates at Guantanamo Bay who may not even be terrorists or fighters at all
Bush's failure to ensure that techniques from Guantanamo Bay not spread to operations in Iraq where the Geneva Conventions inarguably apply (instead Guantanamo head Army Major General Geoffrey Miller was sent to Iraq to train interrogators)
Failure to take action against abuses at Abu Ghraib prison despite senior government officials' knowledge of the photos several months before the story broke
Bush's failure to punish any high level Admin. officials for the torture policy, despite a Feb. 2006 Human Rights Watch report that close to 100 detainees had died in U.S. custody since Aug. 2002, including 45 confirmed or suspected homicides from abuse
Bush's secret authorization of over 39 CIA detention centers ("black sites") outside the U.S. for practices that would not be acceptable in the U.S.
Rendition of over 70 detainees between 2001 and 2005 to countries which practice torture, in violation of U.S. and international laws
keeping "ghost" detainees in isolation in U.S. facilities who are not on the prison register, including as many as 100 in Iraq, in violation of U.S. and international laws

ILLEGAL SPYING ON AMERICANS:

Domestic surveillance of thousands and possibly millions of Americans without their knowledge and without court approval
Bush's lies, several years after the program began, that they were still getting court orders to wiretap
Bush's false excuse to the public, after The New York Times exposed the spying, that he needed to violate FISA because it caused too many delays (yet the Admin. itself had arranged for FISA's retro-active warrants to be extended from 24 hrs. to 72 hrs.)
lying about the extent and targets of the program until USA Today revealed that millions of Americans' phone records were being tracked
lying, throughout the domestic surveillance debate, about when the surveillance began (On Dec. 14, 2007, The New York Times reported that the surveillance began shortly after Bush took office, months before 9/11.)

IRAN:

Threatening an unprovoked, first-strike attack against the sovereign nation of Iran.
Accusing Iran of a secret nuclear weapons program despite the government's own intelligence agencies' finding insufficient evidence for these claims
Continuing to accuse Iran of hiding a nuclear weapons program and threatening war for months after intelligence agencies informed Bush in the National Intelligence Estimate that Iran ceased any nuclear weapons program as far back as 2003
Misrepresenting Iran's uranium enrichment plans as a defiance of international law when in fact civil nuclear power is a part of Iran's rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by providing nuclear weapons aid to India, and also U.S. law (since treaties signed by the U.S. are the law of the land)

KATRINA:

Bush's reckless disregard for human life in the appointment of unqualified cronies to head FEMA, to oversee FEMA as Homeland Security Secretary, and other related positions
Bush's failure during Katrina to fulfill his unique responsibility to mobilize federal resources for disaster relief (i.e. not sending federal ground troops to aid evacuation until a week after declaring the region a disaster area), resulting in much loss of life: 1,836 confirmed dead, plus 3,200 missing of which many might have floated out to sea
Bush's criminal negligence in ignoring explicit advance warnings of the devastation a serious hurricane would bring, repeatedly cutting funds to reinforce the New Orleans levees despite extensive advance research warning of the levees' inadequacy and of the potential evacuation crisis for New Orleans
Bush's failure to heed explicit warnings that the levees would break
given him on Aug. 28, 2005, the day before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, including potential criminal negligence in his failure to ask questions or make plans
Bush's lie to cover-up his failure: telling ABC on Sept. 1st, "I don't think that anybody anticipated a breach of the levees." (Before a video leaked to the Associated Press five months later showed how he was warned by video conference on Aug. 28th.)
Bush's lie to cover-up the massive federal failure which caused an unknown percentage of Katrina's $81.2 billion in damage: "There was no situational awareness, and that means that we weren't getting good, solid information from people who were on the ground…" (to ABC, Feb. 28, 2006)
Admin. refusal to release emails and other documents pertaining to the warnings received about Katrina, the refugees dying at the Superdome, etc.
Bush's unwillingness to hold high officials accountable for the failures of FEMA or to examine why Cheney stayed on vacation throughout the crisis, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice shopped in New York, and no urgency existed in the Admin.
failure to correct continuing Katrina mismanagement, including months-long delays in bringing unused FEMA trailers from their depot to thousands of refugees made homeless by Katrina

9/11

Disregard of grave warnings from many legitimate sources of an impending attack on U.S. territory, resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 Americans
Delays and attempts to obstruct an inquiry into 9/11
Lies claiming that no warnings were received and that the methods and target used on 9/11 were a complete surprise
Cover-up of the NORAD drills which had virtually the exact same scenario going on at the same time as the actual attacks
Bush's decision to stay sitting in a Kindergarten class instead of immediately defending the country as soon as he was informed that the U.S. was under attack
Failure to investigate and prosecute those who aided in the evacuation of Osama bin Laden's relatives from the U.S. after 9/11
The Admin.'s cutting of funding for the pursuit of bin Laden a few years after 9/11, and the secret diversion in early 2002 of troops and equipment from the war in Afghanistan to prepare to attack Iraq, despite initial promises to the American public that catching bin Laden was a top priority
Ordering the EPA to assure the public that the air around Ground Zero was safe, resulting in respiratory diseases in untold numbers of rescue workers, etc.
Possible negligence and appearance of political favoritism in Homeland Security's 2006 decision to cut anti-terrorism funding to New York City by 40% (on the claim that NYC had no national monuments or icons) while increasing funds to cities like Jacksonville, Fla., Louisville, Ky., and Omaha, Neb.

GLOBAL WARMING:

The refusal of the White House-controlled EPA to allow California to set its own auto emission standards to control global warming pollution, with a negative effect on pending emission standards laws in 17 other states as well
The refusal of the EPA to set sufficient federal controls on auto emissions to halt climate change, despite a Supreme Court ruling that this does fall under the EPA's jurisdiction
Obstruction of the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, delaying the deadline for an agreement to be reached to 2009
White House redaction of global warming and public health information from an Oct. 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report to Congress: a substantial redaction, from 14 pgs down to 6 pgs
Redaction of a 2003 EPA report to exclude accurate science on global warming
Reckless disregard for human life and for long-term national security in the face of a 2004 Pentagon study that rapid climate change would cost millions of lives by 2025 and "vastly eclipse" the threat of terrorism with increasing chances of nuclear war
Potential grounds for corruption charges in Cheney's energy policy favoring non-renewable sources of energy (with which he, Bush, Rice, and others in the Admin. have strong ties) over: renewable energy, fuel-efficient vehicles, & energy efficiency measures
