issuing signing statements that claim the authority to disobey laws
based on Presidential fiat and then acted in violation of these
laws, including the US law making torture a crime, laws requiring the executive branch to provide oversight information to the Congress, laws regarding domestic spying, laws regarding civil liberties, and laws strengthening whistle blower protection, thereby expanding the president's own power at the expense of Congress and the courts, upsetting the balance among the three branches of government, and moving us away from the rule of law toward vastly increased executive power;
10. Condoned criminal conduct and obstructed justice by commuting the
sentence of convicted perjurer Scooter Libby, demonstrating that Bush
and Cheney will not allow high officials in the administration to be
held accountable for their criminal acts; and
11. Obstructed congressional investigations of these and other acts of the administration by disregarding subpoenas from Senate and House committees seeking documents and testimony under oath by administration officials and former administration officials.
The Constitution mandates 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". Only one such act is needed for impeachment. But each and every one of the above listed acts of Bush
and Cheney meet this standard.
