the point is that the power of the president is, in the end, granted by the party he rules – the Republicans – more so than the American people. So whatever happens next is, in large part, up to them, more so than the Dems.

I was talking about this to someone the other day, and we both agree on one thing. I don’t think that many Americans could handle the president being impeached. For one, vice president Cheney is not someone I would want running the country. Two, I think people are afraid of having even more chaos in Iraq if he were to leave. Third, many in congress would have to admitt that their going along with Bush early on was wrong, and would be condemning themselves indirectly.
