No, impeachment doesn't remove a person from office. Conviction is
needed for that. Clinton was impeached, but the Senate did not convict
him. For the reasons Celia has cited, I think it would be a good thing
to impeach Bush and Cheney. At the very least, a better investigation
could be conducted, and it's my understanding that Bush couldn't
pardon anyone who may have participated in the acts for which he was
being impeached.
