The party that brought President Roh Moo-hyun to power pledged yesterday to seek his impeachment if he did not apologize by tomorrow for partisan election comments.

The National Election Commission ruled this week that Roh had broken the election law by backing a party before an April 15 parliamentary election. It criticized Roh but did not penalize him. Roh's team said it respected the ruling but regretted it.

"Unless President Roh apologizes to the country by March 7, we will submit an impeachment bill the next day," a spokesman for the Millennium Democratic Party said.

Koreans can impeach a President because of words he said so why can't American Citizens impeach a pResident who has lied and murdered people?
