But could we (seriousness discussion here) actually get them as a package deal? Oh we know the crimes (impeachable offenses) that both have committed, but would enough of the PUBLIC go along to get the 67 Senators needed to remove both at once.

In over 200 years of Constitutional history, A President has never been removed from office via the impeachment process. Nixon was never impeached, let alone tried by the Senate. Johnson (Andrew) and Clinton were tried, but not enough votes were gathered to remove either. Just getting rid of Bush would be historic.

A double removal would create a "Constitutional Crisis" atmosphere within the press and public of unequal proportions. As mentioned above, getting rid of Bush alone would be historic. Add in the factor of a "two-fer" and the ramifications are inversely multiplied.

Plus there is a procedural problem. The impeachment/removal process is geared toward a single individual. Could you impeach in the House and try in the Senate both at once, or would you have to impeach, try, and remove Bush first, then swear-in Bicis Dickis as President, then go through the whole process all over again? If it's the later, then I suggest that Congress have the damn papers ready to go, otherwise Darth the First will have outlawed Congress before the echoes of his oath have died.
