Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

tommyrot is scaring me with his Bush links this morning. Can't we just impeach him?
And he'd pay attention to congress on this because...?
Also, that would just leave Cheney in charge. I'd love it if they would just impeach Cheney though.

Honestly, what can the public do to effect an immediate change?
One thing that comes to mind is to not have re-elected him.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I finished it, I think, really calmly.
Whedonesque went to the archives and pulled up links to everything I've said about the event in question, which is all positive and assuring people that the event was legit.
And also reminded me that I set up passwords for Joss and some others at Whedonesque at the time, specifically so they could also talk about the event.
Now I feel calm.

One of the guests on the Diane Rehm show today said that, since the Executive Branch has basically said the other branches can't exercise checks and balances on it, actual charges/disciplining/impeachment of Bush or Cheney is going to come down to the Sergeant-at-Arms phyically arresting (detaining? does the Sergeant-at-Arms actually have the power to *arrest*?) one/both of them.
Which I think I would pay serious money to see.

Oh lord, I'd love it to be Cheney, because the meltdown that looks like has been coming for Dubya for the last year would probably instantly take place. Might even get a two-for-one special if the meltdown is especially debilitating.

Condi Rice would move up to Veep, wouldn't she? Or would Bush get to decide? Or try to decide and trigger the very Constitutional crisis we're dreading/hoping for?

Condi Rice would move up to Veep, wouldn't she?
If both Bush and Cheney went, isn't Pelosi the next in line for the presidency?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've gotten three compliments on my dress so far today, one from a stranger in the street who wound down her window to ask me where I got it.
Pity I told her the wrong store name. Brain fart. Still, it's last year's dress, so she wasn't going to find it anyway.
