Page A23 of the NY Times: Constitution of the United States The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John D. Ashcroft have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States. They have: 1. Seized power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; planned massive military assaults on Iraq, a country that is not threatening the United States; planned a "shock and awe" strategy to create a Hiroshima-type effect on the Iraqi population which is terrorizing and outraging the people of the world. 2. Ordered and directed the violent overthrow of sovereign states, disappearances, kidnappings, assassinations, summary executions, murders and torture. "More than 3000 suspected terrorists have been arrested (by the U.S.) in many countries. And many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way. They are no longer a problem..." [G.W. Bush, State of the Union message, February 4, 2003.] 3. Threatened to wage first strike nuclear war against even non-nuclear countries, setting off a new arms race as non-nuclear nations now seek to develop nuclear arms to deter U.S. aggression or the loss of their sovereignty. 4. Trashed the Bill of Rights and fundamental freedoms of the American people and others everywhere by acting to strip U.S. citizens of their constitutional and human rights; ordering indefinite detentions of citizens and noncitizens; ordering unlawful arrests, raids, and interrogations; institutionalizing racial profiling and authorizing domestic spying on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activities.
