"The [impeachment] article, approved by a paper ballot 121-29, calls on Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against the president, alleging that Bush misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying."I wonder, what happens to congresscritters who file such paperwork "frivolously"? Any precedents?
Perhaps he will file the articles as a campaign ploy?
If so, it will be to his destruction as the Pubbie Party will inundate the Vermont with funds to defeat this moonbat.
they came from wuss neighborhoods.....
And if we were to lose the House, we might be entering a new phase in impeaching every President in their second term.
You may be onto something there, p...
If it happens to W, and then to the next president, there'll be an established pattern, since klintoon in '98. I'm thinking that the 'threshold' will have to be raised, substantially, for impeachment hearings.
The cover of the March issue of Harper's magazine said something like, "Why We Must Impeach Bush." It seems to me that it's traitorous to be talking about impeachment at a time when this nation is at WAR! Doesn't it seem traitorous to anyone else on this Free Republic web site?
