You know what I was wondering? Ok, the vice prez takes over if something happens to the prez .... what if something happens to the vice prez? who takes over ... and so on down the line? What's the chain of command?
How can The People vote to impeach a prez?
I didn't know Clinton was impeached .. yes, I knew there was that huge trial and what not, but I didn't know it ended in impeachment. I thought impeachment meant that the prez is fired and can't continue job. But when Clinton was impeached ... he continued working as president. Ok, I'd like to impeach Bush, but I don't want him to continue working as prez. I would like Bush and his entire staff fired. How do you completely remove a president from office, while he's in office (besides not voting for him)?

Should President Bush Be Impeached?
Attorney John Bonifaz argues the president has commited high crimes by lying to the American public and Congress about Iraq in the lead-up to the invasion. He makes his case in the new book “Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush."
...
One of the main reasons for the book’s ["My Life", by Bill Clinton] popularity is undoubtedly Clinton’s account of the events that led him to become the second American president in US history to be impeached.
...
While Clinton was impeached over a personal scandal, some say President George W Bush should be impeached for much serious crimes.

Here's how an individual starts the process of Impeachment:
Impeach Bush Yourself...
To remove a president from office, you need a 2/3rds Senate vote.2/3rds vote in the Senate to Impeach will happen once the evidence gets aired on CSPAN during the trial.

Republican Congress members will realize that tying their political future to Bush reduces their chances of getting elected. Remember, one way or another, Bush is gone by 2009— but members of Congress may retain their offices beyond that date. Bush's poll numbers are extremely low, and most Americans support impeachment. This is a bipartisan movement. This means that if we make the pressure unbearable for Members of Congress, they'll turn on him to keep their own seats (like they did with Nixon). It's already starting to happen.
And even if we only impeach, and the Senate fails to do their duty and remove him from office. It will only implicate the Senators who fail to do their sworn Constitutional duty.
