The Ctizen's Power

Here's a good one for speculation,

Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney.

From the site:

"State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington."

According to Amazon.ca, impeachment is speculative enough. The site lists The Impeachment Process, one in a series of guide books to US government, under Science Fiction / Fantasy. I acknowledge it doesn’t happen much but it shouldn't be relegated to myth. Democratic governments are making high level commitments without consulting their people, like with the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. Citizens need to know the power they hold in resisting authoritarian decision making like this.

Over at The Impeachment and Trial of John F. Kennedy, Harry Turtledove and Bryce Zabel, are posting an ongoing novel about Kennedy's life being worse for not dyeing in Dallas, 1963. The story draws most of its inspiration from the lesser known side of the beloved Kennedy administration. The storyline from inside their alternate universe: "John Kennedy cheated death in Dallas only to face a fate that for him might have been even worse – the public revelation of his private double life. Learning the truth was just as difficult for many Americans. We loved him when we knew him less well. Being forced to face the whole picture – for Kennedy and for the nation – was something no one ultimately was prepared for..."

Changing the status-quo with open insurrection is all too common in stories these days. Do you know of any science or speculative fiction that has impeachments or other non-violent changes to government?
