#1 Obviously they have not thought this through. If Bush were impeached and convicted, Cheney would become president. Brings new meaning to "be careful what you wish for...".

#2 President Cheney.

#3 Assuming they could actually eject Pres. Bush ( What a fuckall waste of time !), it would be a trivial matter to do the VP. Probably take two hours.
So then what ? President Pelosi ?
I shudder.
The problem is not the system itself but an evolution of it into such a shark infested environment that you really DO have to be a moonbat, rat, or emotionless drone to make it to the top of the slog pile.
Which leaves us very few decent people worth following.
I blame the strategists.
All of them.

#4 If they are serious in impeaching Bush, they'll do Cheney first. Clear the way so that Pelosi [shudder] would become president immediately. Otherwise, doing Bush first means that the country has a natural sympathy for giving 'the new guy' a chance.

#9 Hillary won't allow the Donks to get out of control before the '08 elections - she needs a stable image

#10 Nah, Cheney gets threatened he develops a "heart condition" and retires, and we get VP Guiliani.
The Dims go after Bush, then Hillary gets to run against now PRESIDENT GUILIANI.

They better be careful, they might get what they ask for - but not what they want.

#11 A new VP has to be confirmed by a majority of both Houses of Congress (per the 25th Amendment) - if the Dems are in a position to impeach they will be in a position to block any "poison pill" VP appointment.

I doubt the Dems have to stones to try - if I thought they did I'd feel better about the possibility they'll be in charge.
