Okay here we go jackass. (which works sense you love the democratic party so damn much..)
If you somehow manage to impeach Bush and all his appointents are taken out of office, who's left to run the country as president? Does this mean we have to have another election? Do you REALLY want to go through all that hassle? Or can you stop being a little b-itch and just wait three more years like the rest of us?

To make the record straight, Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; its a formality akin the laws under the constitution of the government. Its the first step towards removal.
Even if the impeached party are found guilty, it takes and absolute minimum of 2/3 of both the houses of congress in order to ascertain removal.

Big Evil really has no idea whats hes talking about. Its all these people who dont know anything about politics or, even care for the country, who suport Bush just cause hes acting like a badass. Big Evil has been shot down, and proven wrong enough to even have a valid arguement from now on. And no, i dont believe another election will be held. Im pretty sure Speaker of the House would be heir. It goes, President, Vice President, Speker, Secratary of State and so on.. theres a long list. Bush is big evil.
(a) (1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the officer of the United States who is highest on the following list, and who is not under disability to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, shall act as President: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Postmaster General, Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and such other heads of executive departments as may be established hereafter and in order of their establishment..
(a) (2) The same rule shall apply in the case of the death, resignation, removal from office, or inability of an individual acting as President under this section.
(a) (3) To qualify under this section, an individual must have been appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, prior to the time of the death, resignation, removal from office, or inability of the President and Vice President, and must not be under impeachment by the House of Representatives at the time the powers and duties of the office of President devolve upon him.
I HOPE this clarifies further ambiguities. You guys being American, should read more of YOUR constitution instead of firing at eachother.

just to answer your question Big Evil, Senator Ted Stevens will take over if Bush & Co. are removed from office. He is Republican representing the State of Alaska. And he will remain in office until the next General Election.
