Impeach Mint

[infrogmation]

One wacky member of the US Congress decides to take his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution seriously. Most of the rest decide to pretend this never happened. CNN: Kucinich effort to impeach Bush kicked into limbo

Meanwhile, a '70s children's cartoon character is redesigned to look more like Kucinich's wife.

Not really. You can technically impeach a president *after* he has left office. "Impeachment" just means the same thing as "indict", but with the restriction that a legislative body (Congress) acts as grand jury. It doesn't mean "remove from office": that's what happens if the impeachment results in a verdict of "guilty". If the defendant is no longer in office, he can still be stripped of his pension and possibly have other punishments as well.
