And as far as the actions you suggest upon impeachment... let's not forget impeachment is the term for bringing charges, like an arraignment, to someone in office, then trying them, and then if found guilty, of removing them from office.

And for the executive office, I believe the evidence is brought before the senate and voted on by the senate. So regardless, the vote will be as much political as based on evidence.

And make no mistake, a lot of democrats will be loathe to vote for the removal of a sitting president. Just the same as the republican majority did not remove Clinton and as the republican majority did not remove Andrew Johnson.

Who do you impeach first? Bush or Cheny? Remove Bush and Cheny becomes president. You want that? Cheny first? Bush selects a new vice president. Imagine that... he picks one of the current candidates and gives him the boost an incumbent always gets... It would virtually guarantee him the nomination.

I would 100% Impeach Cheney Fiirst, even the thought of him taking over for Bush is far worse then any reality of Cheney Running things, as bad as things are NOW, I would not even want to think what the next 13 months would be like with Cheney in charge (As if he isn't already anyway)
