Sure sounds like that's what he means...
"Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that," said Hagel, who is considering a 2008 presidential run.
Personally, I'd like to go after these guys!
While anyone who follows politics understands that House Judicial Committee chair John Conyers wants and has publicly pushed impeachment charges against the president, there are no grounds of impeachment. This is why it's little more than talk on Capital Hill. Presidents can't be impeached because of policy disagreements.
I honestly don't believe Hagel was saying that he would lead the charge. I think he was sort warning that someone may try, such as Conyers. I'm sure Hagel doesn't want to be put in an impeachment situation. Also, since he may want to run for president, why would he want this precedent for impeachment on a war policy disagreement hinder him if he were one day the commander in chief?
With Bush's high approval rating among Republicans, every day hinders Hagel's bid even more at becoming the GOP nominee. Continuing to pick fights with Bush will only hurt his chances in the GOP.

Not what the Dems would impeach him on, but there are grounds. He has abrogated his oath of office by not upholding the laws of this country.
They have purposely let the situation get worse to try to force us into another amnesty/guestworker/regularization, whatever euphamism it is this week. The media, unions, both parties, churches, and mostly the corrupt corporations employing them are working to undermine our sovereignty as a nation and our rule of law. Until very recently there was practically NO enforcement.
And the numbers are much higher than 8-10 million. We are being purposely misled. Most of what you hear about illegal aliens is propaganda to get us to give up our country without a fight. In 1986 we were told it was less than 1 million getting amnesty, turned out to be 3.6 million, some of them were involved in bombing the WTC in 1993. This time we're being told 10 million, it is more like 20-30 million. Enforcement under Clinton was insufficient but looked robust compared to this administration.
Citizens of other countries do not have any right to "migrate" into our country without permission. If America announces to the world, "We can't stop you, so come on in", with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn't get your attention, then wait until it's 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress' to give away. America belongs to we the people. |

...like that one VA, only give credence to idiotic calls for impeaching presidents. Again, your dispute is a policy disagreement. You don't agree with the president and Congress on the immigration policy, so you start screaming impeachment. With your logic on impeachment, every president should have been impeached for some reason or another, including Ronald Reagan in regards to immigration.
