Why hasn't this m**********r been impeached?

So, it seems George W. Bush deems the Senate to have adjourned even though it hasn't. So he gets to ignore or distort the Constitution by claiming a pocket veto for H.R. 1585.

Because the bill has so much in it for veterans and active members of the Armed Forces, Bush apparently doesn't dare sign an affirmative veto. Instead, he'll pretend it... just went away on its own.

Not only that, but you may recall that the Senate has remained in session all this time explicitly to prevent trickery like this....

But not in Bushworld. In Bushworld, these sessions don't count. Because he says so.

And if Bush thinks the Senate's sessions don't count, what's stopping him from making recess appointments?

Read about it here.

If he is this ignorant of the laws of this land, he should not be in office. If he is this unwilling to acknowledge that he is bound by the laws of this land, he should be removed from office. If he had two functioning brain cells to rub together, I would conclude he is evil. In any case he is an utter disaster for this nation and the world.

And Nancy's doing fuck-all. See here. To think, I was once excited to see a woman speaker and Pelosi in particular. Now I am simply disgusted with Congressional Dems. What was the point of a spectacular victory in November 2006? (Pelosi said it was "subpoena power." What a pathetic joke that has turned out to be when the White House ignores congressional subpoenas and nobody does a damn thing about it.)

I. Just. Want. Him. Out. Of. Office.

And every week that goes by I find it harder to be civil about it.
UPDATE:
Marcy Wheeler asks about this sudden veto here. Digby wonders about it also here and adds some interesting comments by a reader here.

We are reminded that vetoed bills are returned to the house that originates them and though the Senate has remained in session it seems the House has not. So the little shit could pull this off.

Meanwhile, bear in mind that this is the defense appropriations bill that he's been having hissyfits over, stomping his feet and whining that Congress wasn't getting it to him. The surface reasons for his vetoing it just don't sound sufficient so there is speculation that it might be something like a section of the bill that would require releasing information to oversight committees. If he signed that into law then he would have trouble withholding, oh, say, information on waterboarding or something.

Would Bush sabotage military funding to protect his own ass? Sacrifice out troops to keep himself out of prison?

In a heartbeat.
