IMPEACH BUSH AND CHERTOFF
House Democrats should and have a duty to file articles of impeachment against President Bush and Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff (whose department controls FEMA) because they allowed FEMA Director Michael "Brownie" Brown
- To run an agency even though he had no prior experience or expertise that qualified him (i.e. emergency management and disaster preparation)
- He allowed hundreds if not thousands to die from dehydration and heat exhaustion
- He failed to respond to Mayor Ray Nagin's call for federal assistance
- He denied knowing that people were dying at the Convention Center in New Orleans
Republicans say this is not the time for pointing the finger. This is exactly the time to point the finger because they hope that Americans forget how inept the Bush Administration has been in handling the worst natural disaster in American history and the worst federal management of a natural disaster in American history. The Constitution says that the House can impeach a President and other civil officers (i.e. Cabinet members) for high crimes and misdemeanors. Republicans believed that President Clinton's lying about sex met the constitutional requirements for impeachment. If that is the case, the Bush and Chertoff should be impeached unanimously in the House and convicted and removed from office unanimously in the Senate.
