Congratulations to George W. Bush and the Republican Party for another historic milestone set by the Great Leader:

At 39 months in the doghouse, George W. Bush has surpassed Harry Truman's record as the postwar president to linger longest without majority public approval.

Bush hasn't received majority approval for his work in office in ABC News/Washington Post polls since Jan. 16, 2005 three years and three months ago. The previous record was Truman's during his last 38 months in office.

Republican or Democrat you have to appreciate this record.

Last I checked being disliked wasn't an impeachable offense.

but lying to the public to go to war that kills hundreds of thousands of people certainly is...or going along with wiretaps after being told it is unconstitutional....should i go on?

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

But trying for a configurement in gas taxes is?

He isnt a "postwar president" yet. The war is still going on, right?

Actually I'm pretty sure it is. I think congress can impeach a president without any reason if they have the votes.

I think postwar means post world war 2

[China]

STAY ON TARGET!

The thread was originally about his polling numbers, not his impeachability.

And for the record, If I had been polled, I woudn't have approved either. But then I never voted for him so that shouldn't be a surprise.

So the war is over? Then WTF are the presidential candidates talking about?

I think postwar means post world war 2

Ah. Well then, yeah, he is, until the next one.......and then the next one.......and it will just keep getting worse.

Well, technicially, there was never a war to begin with, as it was never officially declared by Congress.

The Constitution defines impeachment at the federal level and limits impeachment to "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States" who may only be impeached and removed for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

[Stophovr6]

If people hate him that much here, I can only imagine the disdain from other countries around the world.

[headexplode]

To be fair, though, disapproval is not necessarily hatred.

ok you got me there, but if they really wanted to they probably could think of some way to get it done

[Beer is Food]

Congress should start a vote no confidence amendment.

What would be the point? He has less than a year in office, and if Bush was impeached, Dick Cheney would be president. That's some scary ****.

[frommd]

Congress should start a vote no confidence amendment.

How about a no confidence in Congress vote?

[Beer is Food]

How about a no confidence in Congress vote?

Hmmmm.... Why not. But, I think it would have to be votes against individual members.

How about grant the line item veto and give Congress a vote of no confidence.

Wow. I'm just imagining the scene at liberal think tanks.

Please don't... I hear that fanatical-stupidity is contagious.
