Constitution Summer is basing its call for the impeachment of the President and Vice President on four key crimes:

1) illegal domestic spying in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the 4th Amendment;

2) misleading the country into a war of aggression in Iraq based on fraudulent claims;

3) indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition, and torture;

4) abuse of executive authority and subversion of the Constitution.

It is the view of the members of Constitution Summer that each of these charges constitutes an impeachable offense, and that each has been substantiated to the extent that articles of impeachment can legitimately be brought.


The goal of this organization is to frame the November 2006 election as a referendum on the Constitution, focused on the abuses of executive authority of George W. Bush. It also seeks to mobilize activists to work to launch a Congressional investigation into grounds for impeachment for repeated abuses of the public trust.

This issue is culturally relevant, and builds and inspire a generation of activists, show popular support for a Congressional investigation, retake the media agenda all while working towards reestablishing oversight regardless of impeachment or removal from office.

We hope that the cultural dialog that will come from this endeavor will help rather than hurt our cause, and to in some way contribute, to a return of honest and open government respectful of our Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

Constitution Summer represents an emerging coalition of students for impeachment originating from Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School, Georgetown Law School, Boalt Law School, George Washington University Law School, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UCLA, the University of Michigan, and the University of Maryland.

Constitution Summer May 1st Law Day Impeachment Teach-In

.. width="425" height="350">..>



On May 1st, 2006, members of Constitution Summer, the nonpartisan youth campaign for Executive accountability, tried to hold a fully sanctioned teach-in on the impeachment of George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney on Mario Savio Steps at UC Berkeley. The speakers were to include local elected officials, an expert in constitutional law from the Center for Constitutional Rights, and founding members of Constitution Summer.


Instead, we had to hold a demonstration in favor of free speech rights, as the University saw fit to inform us that our previously approved event was cancelled, a mere 30 minutes before it was to begin, and sent the police.
