President Bush Will Not Be Impeached

President Bush will escape impeachment. Never mind that he deserves it for his lies to Congress about the Iraq War and his use of warrantless wiretaps... The Constitution states that "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

But the Constitution never stood in the way of impeachment. Instead, another set of rules really governs. The Rules of Impeachment are clear:

Don't bother bringing charges if your party will be implicated or if the charges concern foreign policy.
