George W Bush has maintained an approval rating below 30% for how long now?  46% of Americans currently believe he should be removed from office, while 54% believe Cheney should.  Articles of Impeachment for Cheney have already been introduced in Congress, and while they have not been brought to the floor, the topic has been "out there" at least since the November elections.

Along with the "war" in Iraq, the other big reason for the change of majorities in both houses of Congress in the November 2006 election was the perception of corruption and dishonesty, especially among Republicans.  In 1994, the Republicans gained control of Congress by promising to bring the issues that were important to the people to the fore, based on a general understanding that the Democratic Congress had become unresponsive to the issues that mattered to the people.

Not long after that Bill Clinton became only the second President ever impeached....
