--In December 2005, the New York Times disclosed that President Bush had authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to tap international telephone calls that included one party suspected of terrorist activity.
--Since that time the program's legality has been debated, especially over whether the president violated the law.
--The White House asserts that the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program is a vital tool in our efforts to disrupt plots and prevent attacks here at home
--Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle worry that the program allows for electronic surveillance of Americans without warrants.
--The Bush administration argues that the president has the "inherent authority" derived directly from Article 2 of the Constitution to perform such surveillance in the name of national security.
--a panel assembled by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argues that President Bush should be impeached over the spying program: "It violates the basic rules of the road of how you operate," said executive director Anthony D. Romero "No judge, at any level has signed a warrant for this."
