halfscot, Good point. There seems to be a lot of confusion going around about the Constitution and the impeachment process. I kept hearing that censure was an option and others saying that it was unconstitutional. I was confused because I thought it had been done before to Andrew Jackson, the first Democratic President. Tom Delay (R-TX) cleared that up this morning on "Meet the Press". He pointed out that the U.S. Senate censured Andrew Jackson, not the House of Representatives. Censure of the President by the House has never been done and could set an unconstitutional precedent. The Republicans are absolutely correct in stopping a censure resolution to appear on the floor. There is no other course except to Impeach the President if there is obvious evidence of felony crimes having been committed by the President. -John
