Feingold offers more options, but makes the most serious charge:
Congress may also consider a range of actions, including investigations, independent commissions, legislation or even impeachment. But, at a minimum, Congress should censure a president who has so plainly broken the law.
The facts are simple: The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act makes it a crime to wiretap Americans on U.S. soil without the requisite warrants, and the president has ordered warrantless wiretaps of Americans on U.S. soil.

hopefully the president would acknowledge it and say that he maybe went too far, and we would be able to move forward and stop worrying about this and get a pledge from the president that he's going to come within the law or make proposals to change the law to allow it.
How does this reconcile with his recent statement about spying on Americans? Changing the law will not allow Bush to spy on Americans. That is definitely an impeachable offense. And that's why the investigations should to continue.
