28. We cannot impeach Bush by his lonesome, or else we get President Cheney
Bush and Cheney must both be impeached! The problem with impeaching Cheney is that we have no constitutional grounds to impeach him. The office of Vice President has no constitutional powers other than presiding over the Senate. Anything that Cheney did was under Presidential authority, so Bush will get the ax.

Now, if Cheney were implicated in breaking the law, such as the Plame leak, then he can be impeached for that after he is named as an un-indictable conspirator.
