As Gambia's overnight millionaire, Yahya Jammeh betrayed the Decrees or 
Constitution he swore to upheld. The insulting case of YDE, should spark Gambians 
to start impeachment demonstrations across the country, thereby forcing AFPRC 
MP's to follow the masses. If the masses are organized, leaders will follow.


-----------------------------------------------------------
LONDON (March 12) - South Korea's parliament impeached President Roh Moo-hyun 
Friday, suspending him from office.
Here are some leaders who have faced impeachment proceedings:
Aug 1974 - U.S. President Richard Nixon resigns rather than face impeachment 
for his role in the cover-up of the break-in at Democratic party headquarters 
in the Watergate office complex.
Dec 1992 - Brazil's suspended President Fernando Collor resigns from office 
minutes after the Senate opened a trial to vote on whether to impeach and 
remove him from office on corruption charges.
Dec 1998 - The House of Representatives impeaches U.S. President Bill 
Clinton, setting the stage for only the second Senate trial in American history to 
determine if a president should be removed from office. Clinton survives the 
trial.
March 1999 - Paraguay's President Raul Cubas is impeached by Congress for 
freeing a convicted coup leader and is blamed for the killing of his Vice 
President Luis Maria Argana. He resigns before Congress can remove him from office.
May 1999 - Russian President Boris Yeltsin escapes impeachment on five 
charges of misrule after his opponents fail to muster enough votes to start 
proceedings.
Nov 2000 - Philippine President Joseph Estrada is impeached on corruption 
charges. The allegations sparked a popular revolt in January 2001 which ended his 
31-month rule. Estrada was detained in April 2001. His trial is tangled in 
red tape.
Feb 2003 - Paraguay's Senate votes not to remove scandal-dogged President 
Luis Gonzalez Macchi from office, finding the deeply unpopular leader not guilty 
of corruption charges.
Dec 2003 - Lithuania's parliament approves a report paving the way for the 
impeachment of President Rolandas Paksas over accusations that he broke the law 
and violated his oath of office. The process will probably finish in the month 
before Lithuania's scheduled May 1 entry to the European Union.
March 2004 - 193 members of the 273-seat South Korean National Assembly vote 
to unseat President Roh Moo-hyun. All Roh's powers are in limbo until the 
Constitutional Court rules on the vote, which the opposition called after he broke 
an election law.

The movement against Roh's impeachment has found support not only among his 
political backers but also from civic groups that have criticized alleged 
corruption in Roh's administration, his decision to send troops to Iraq and his 
recent tussle with authorities over illegal campaign funds ahead of next month's 
parliamentary elections.

Trying to quell concerns of a national division over the impeachment, the Uri 
Party vowed not to organize or lead any street protests that could further 
fuel political unrest.
"This incident is clearly unconstitutional and illegal, but we will not stage 
any street demonstrations,'' Chung Dong-young told business leaders Sunday.
Chung also urged the Constitutional Court to issue a swift ruling.
The Grand National and Millennium Democratic parties impeached Roh for 
allegedly breaking election laws by stumping for the Uri Party in the upcoming April 
15 parliamentary poll. Roh doesn't belong to the Uri party but has said he 
wants to join.
