Impeach Pelosi

Since she's declared herself acting President and Secretary of State, perhaps the case could be made for impeaching Nancy Pelosi.
Now that the pre-eminent constitutional scholar and sometime speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has determined that she is by fiat the commander in chief of our armed forces and secretary of state as well, it is time to consider the consequences of her actions by the same rules. If she commits "high crimes and misdemeanors" within those parameters indicated by the Constitution, would she be liable for removal from office by impeachment?

As luck would have it, the impeachment process begins in her own House, and since she has proclaimed herself virtually the entire executive branch of government, it follows that she might no longer have the constitutional protection of members of Congress who can be removed from office only by a vote of their colleagues in their own legislative body.

On the other hand, if the House would vote a bill of impeachment of Mrs. Pelosi, would that, by reason of the aforementioned rule, automatically remove Mrs. Pelosi from office, thus making the impeachment moot? Oh, these fiats make everything so complicated.

So filled with herself by her elevation to high legislative office as a result of the elections of November last, she embarked on a state visit to the Middle East contrary to the policy of the president of the United States, and appeared to be negotiating with nations hostile (read as "enemies") to our country against the interests, and without any authority, of her own country.
Read the rest.

Meanwhile, it seems the message has gotten through the thick skulls of the unpatriotic Democrat party that meeting with leaders of terrorist states but refusing to meet with the Commander-in-Chief of the country you live in isn't selling too well with the public. So the morons have decided to meet with President Bush after all. Of course, they'll be dictating to the man elected by the people.
"We will be at the White House on Wednesday to talk with the president," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in a joint statement released last night.

"We will listen to his position, but in return we will insist that he listen to concerns of the American people that his policies in Iraq have failed and we need to change course," they said.
When these clowns are booted from office, they can look back on their smug hubris as a main reason why the people have rejected them.
