Let's just imagine that President Bush was actually daring the Democrats to try and impeach him. So what could he do that would actually cause a response from the "what comes first is my getting reelected" Congress. Could he manufacture a war that has cost many American lives and injuries (along with tens of thousands of Iraqi lives) using false information? Would that bring about a solid statement? Or could he put us so far into debt that our grand children's grandchildren will be saddled with payments? Would that bring about forceful action from our elected representatives? Or could he consistently peck away at the Constitutional balance of powers by using signing statements and Presidential orders until the Constitution is deemed useless? Would that cause Congress to act? We could add volumes to this list of challenges for our Congress from our President and his Vice-President.
