Editors of Barrons Suggests Bush Committed Impeachable Offenses

HeadlineDec 27, 2005

The latest call for the possible impeachment of President Bush is coming from an unexpected quarter–the prominent business publication Barrons. The editors of Barrons have criticized Bush for authorizing the National Security Agency to spy on Americans without court warrants. The editors wrote “Putting the president above the Congress is an invitation to tyranny. The president has no powers except those specified in the Constitution and those enacted by law. … Willful disregard of a law is potentially an impeachable offense. It is at least as impeachable as having a sexual escapade under the Oval Office desk and lying about it later.”
