Kucinich Presents Bush Impeachment Resolution

[las47032]

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate from Ohio, introduced a resolution to impeach President Bush into the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

Kucinich announced his intention to seek Bush's impeachment Monday night, when he read the lengthy document into the record.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she would not support a resolution calling for Bush's impeachment, saying such a move was unlikely to succeed and would be divisive.

Most of the congressman's resolution deals with the Iraq war, contending that the president manufactured a false case for the war, violated U.S. and international law to invade Iraq, failed to provide troops with proper equipment and falsified casualty reports for political purposes.

Kucinich also charges that Bush has illegally detained without charge both U.S. citizens and "foreign captives" and violated numerous U.S. laws through the use of "signing statements" declaring his intention to do so.
Other articles address global warming, voting rights, Medicare, the response to Hurricane Katrina and failure to comply with congressional subpoenas.

Last year, Kucinich introduced a resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. But in November when Republicans tried to force a debate on the move, the attempt failed. Democrats voted to send the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, where committee chairman Rep. John Conyers has taken no action on it.

An earlier resolution to impeach Cheney has languished in the House Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties since May 2007.

The House of Representatives has voted to impeach two presidents -- Andrew Johnson, in 1868, and Bill Clinton, in 1999 -- but both were acquitted by the Senate and remained in office. No U.S. vice president has been impeached.

Kucinich dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for president in January to focus on his re-election bid in Ohio. He handily won the Democratic primary in his district on March 4 and faces former State Representative Jim Trakas in the general election.

Lets see how many Democrats have the cajones to push or go forward with the impeachment during an election year. If they do go ahead making an accusation against President Bush it will make a lot of voters angry, and possibly they’ll vote against the Democrats because of the continued pursuit to impeach President Bush while crucial and significant issues have been put on the back burner.

Besides, the continued fishing expedition and impeachment demonstrates the Democrats juvenile mind set, as well as getting revenge since the Republicans voted to impeach President Clinton, and they contend President Bush stole the 2000 election.

Democrats want to make a major mistake that could have serious ramifications by impeaching President Bush, by all means Kucinich and company go for it!

Acquire all the proof and deliberate the charges, showing the Democrats for the ratters they are as well as senators disposing their affirmations from the pre-way Iraq Intelligence Report, and they were found twisting, shoddy, deceptive intelligence information.

Well, it's Kucinich after all. It won't go anywhere.

Leave it to the UFO freak to fulfill the Democrat's promises on the campaign trail.

I have at least two liberal friends who will find this great news. Kucinich? Yes; it's unlikely this will be taken seriously. But it depends on the media, doesn't it? Congress seems to take it's orders from them, and Bush hate is their gospel.

Pelosi already said it's a "no go" so I don't think we'll hear much more from it.

Except when he does really stupid stuff like this, Kucinich is actually one of the better members of Congress... NOT presidential material, but one helluva mongoose fighter when it comes to keeping track of where the skeletons are buried. Example, he was possibly the ONLY member of both houses of Congress who actually had the balls to call a full hearing (attended only by himself, his aides, 3 journalists and the witnesses) on the touchy subject of exactly or even approximately HOW many Iraqi civilians have perished since the inset of OIF. Nobody other than C-SPAN paid the slightest attention to him... while Code Pink and even some journalists persist in claiming numbers several times the actual.

The impeachment kind of crap makes him appear to be five cylinders short of a V-8, but he doesn't care... too bad for him.

Still, there are a number of featherweights I would not want to box with, and he's one of them.

He's a lot more tolerable since he got married.
