Sunil,<br> <br> The impeachment takes place in the House of Representatives. The Senate does not vote on impeachment, EVER. It votes to remove or not remove the President based only on the charges set forth by the House of Representatives.<br> <br> And no, the correct place to start with the process of removing a person from political office is not with a resolution, but with consensus that a crime has been committed.<br> <br> I do not agree with Bush's decision to go to war, but then again I did not vote for the War Resolution that 60% of Democrats did. It Bush is impeachable for what happened in Iraq so is every Senator that voted to go to war. <br> <br> Why is it that Senators are not impeachable for giving a drunken idiot unchecked use of the US Military?<br> <br> I am glad we can agree that the Democratic approach of removing Republicans from office is not that stellar. <br> <br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><br><b><i>Sunil Ramalingam
