44. I'm glad you think it is bullshit, but you are wrong.

The separation of powers doctrine of the constitution does not allow the judicial branch to indict and prosecute the head executive branch. Many executive officials can be impeached and tried at the same time, but the President can not.

Your research is admirable but why don't you stick to something you have a clue about. Read this paper.

http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/sitting_president.htm

He can ONLY be impeached by the house, tried by the senate and removed from office. ONCE he is removed from office then he can be tried as any other citizen.

I don't care if Bush were to shoot Hillary Clinton with an AK-47 on the front lawn of the White House with camera crews rolling, you aren't going to get him impeached through the repuke house and Senate.

Maybe, if they don't win the next election, we could have him prosecuted when he leaves office, but he would probably get a pardon because we all sit around in a circle jerk talking about election rigging and "treason" instead of facing what is really wrong.

WE don't stand for anything. Some of us are willing to use the death penalty, some of us are willing to dump gay rights, some of us are willing to dump gun control. We run repuke light and then sit around and wonder what the hell happened. Then we get really out their and start talking about a true fantasy of FINDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES GUILTY OF TREASON.

I'm sorry. I'm as disillusioned as any of you with the outcome of the 2004 election, but I have not lost my mind. Those in power, are NOT going to face the consequences.

So if we want to be anything but a bunch of conspiracy theorist who sit around and drink our own koolaide, we better get off our fantasies and decide what principles we have and RUN ON THOSE.

I'm sick of all this bs about how the Election was Stolen. We f**king Lost!!!!

Sit back, deal with the reality of three branches of government held by these lunatics and ask yourself something. If they are so slick and so powerful that they could manipulate 3.5 million votes, do you really think that a few people on the INTERNET are going to "catch" them paying off their foundations with a 29million dollar canceled check. Jesus Christ, listen to us.

And YES, I"m sick and tired and I've had enough brandy to make me be honest.

But don't hand me bullshit about how we are going to indict a sitting President of Treason. He has Executive immunity, don't be ignorant.
