The Justice Not War Coalition provides this information as a service to the public. We do not necessarily advocate the impeachment of the President.

Impeachment Overview
Bush has already inflicted severe damage to our economy, our environment, and our relationships with other countries. One way to prevent further damage is to impeach Bush as soon as possible. The threat of impeachment might also convince Mr. Bush that he should change his policies to better serve America.

What is Impeachment?
Impeachment is technically just an indictment, an accusation. Following impeachment, there is a trial and perhaps a conviction. Conviction requires removal from office. The accusation, the actual "impeachment", is made by the House of Representatives. Once impeached, the Senate conducts the trial.

Many people use the word "impeachment" to refer to the entire process. But technically it only refers to the formal accusation. Remember Bill Clinton was impeached for lieing about Monica. He was then tried by the Senate but found not guilty and remained in office. On this website we will often use the term impeachment to refer to the entire process.

Grounds for Impeachment
I believe the most compelling reason for impeachment is for Violations of International Law relating to his War on Iraq.

How to Impeach Bush
Impeachment is started by the people and finished by Congress. Read more about how to impeach Bush.
