Letter to the Editor
Have you heard that there is a secret Republican plan to impeach Bush? If the Democrats win both houses it just might happen. Here's the reason. If the Dems win then they might impeach Bush and Cheney making Nancy Pelosi president as she would be Speaking of the House and next in line. However, if the Republicans impeach Bush before the Dems take power in January then Dennis Hassert becomes president instead of Pelosi. But they would have just over 60 days to do it so they have to have it all planned out in advance.
It does seem extreme for Republicans to impeach Bush, but as we know if Nancy Pelosi is president she will probably pick Hillary Clinton as VP and the Republicans can't let that happen. So the rumor might just be true. When you think about it it all starts to make sense.

It's also unlikely that the Democrats in the Senate would let it go forward before the next session starts if they knew that they would hold the majority.
