The forum discussion centers around a petition initiated by John Kerry to remove Donald Rumsfeld from his position as Secretary of Defense. Participants express skepticism about the effectiveness of the petition, citing the lack of political will from influential figures like John McCain and Chuck Hagel, who have also voiced their lack of confidence in Rumsfeld. The conversation highlights the belief that without significant scandal, Rumsfeld is likely to remain in office throughout the second term, regardless of public petitions.

He's not "supposed" to do anything in a constitutional sense. He can resign if he wants to, and he will resign if Bush wants him to, but there is no reason he can't/wouldn't want to stay for the whole second term unless there's a huge scandal involving him.Stanley_Smith said:
What good would that do? What if someone like Wolfowitz was appointed to replace Rumsfeld? Killing Rumsfeld wouldn't mean you get a Sec. of Def. that's any better than him, just one with a different name.mattmns said:
