So, with 16 months left until they are out of office, you would want to waste an enormous amount of tax payers dollars starting the impeachment process. How about reading what Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says about it here on this link...

Seeking to choke off a Republican rallying cry, the House's top Democrat has told colleagues that the party will not seek to impeach President Bush even if it gains control of the House in November's elections, her office said last night.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday "that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it," spokesman Brendan Daly said.
The Washington Post last week, Pelosi said a Democratic-controlled House would launch investigations of the administration on energy policy and other matters. She said impeachment would not be a goal of the investigations

Now if she and other Democrats wouldn't want to do it, why do you think that we should now. There is 16 months left and neither he nor Cheney will ever be able to have a politically elected job again. The impeachment process for Bill Clinton took 2 years and cost the taxpayers over 200 million dollars to complete and he didn't get impeached. Besides, if he had Gore would have pardoned him. And if the Democrats in Congress wouldn't allow it, I bet Bush would have under pressure to get Democrats on his side. And if they impeach Bush and Cheney, I bet the next person in line (Nancy Pelosi) would step up and pardon Bush but not Cheney. Look at the time they tried to impeach Nixon. Johnson was ready to pardon him quick of any crimes. And that is what you do as President. You make sure to pardon all Presidents, Senators, Representatives and Governors especially if they are in the other party. That way it gives you political favors with them later on.
