Re: MSNBC :Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?

The impeachment process in the US is more in the direction of if the president broke the law (i.e. Nixon in 74). But the more common case is bad policies which deeply affect the future of US. Today the president ratings can be as low as zero and nothing can be done until his 4 year term is over.
Maybe impeachment is the wrong term, but there should be a way congress can vote the president out of office IF THE MAJORITY THINKS HIS POLICY OR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS POLICY IS BAD and it affects badly the US.
There are no checks and balances in US constitution such as those in parliamentary democracies. We are stuck with a terrible president for 4 years, "by hook or by crook".
As a matter of fact, he can go to sleep until January, or get a vacation in Bermuda and there is nothing we can do...
