Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, the liberal Democrat who's launched a presidential campaign, says he plans to force an up-or-down vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on an impeachment resolution against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kucinich announced last week that he will offer a "privileged resolution" on Nov. 6 that would require House members, within two days, to vote on what to do with the impeachment measure.
He plans to discuss the matter in a conference call on Monday evening.
"The momentum is building for impeachment," Kucinich said in a Nov. 2 news release. "Millions of citizens across the nation are demanding Congress rein in the Vice President's abuse of power."
House Resolution 333 says Cheney should be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors," because he "purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests."
Kucinich insists that Vice President Cheney continues to violate the U.S. Constitution by insisting on the supremacy of the Executive Branch.
The resolution introducing articles of impeachment against the vice president has 21 cosponsors, all of them Democrats.
"Congress must hold the Vice President accountable," Kucinich said last week. He accused Cheney of using his office to advocate the "continued occupation of Iraq and prod our nation into a belligerent stance against Iran."
For the record, at a San Francisco rally against climate change on Saturday, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan wore a T-shirt reading, "Arrest Cheney First," the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Sheehan is now running for the House seat of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
They are running out of time now to "Get" Anybody. After all these years of lies, fake scandals, and Democrat treason, many feel that this is the last chance to vindicate themselves...
Why doesn’t he just call on his UFO friends to abduct Cheney?
Guilty!
And proud of it, too, you little twirp!
Having an opinion is NOT an impeachable offense.
This is not a wise ploy politically... but the congressional RATs, led here by the nutcase Kucinich, are too blinded by hatred to know it.

Who let Kucinich out of the insane asylum. Whoops, I forgot they opened the doors for all RATS to take over Washington. Dang, the sewer if full of them.
Dennis didn’t just SEE a UFO. He was delivered here by one.
Watch the rest of your marginal credibility go down in (UFO) flames....
Even most of the Dems will either be conveniently absent...
Or dodge this self-inflicted wounds thru other parliamentary maneuvers...
I doubt if Nanny Pelosi will even put this on the schhhhhhedule...
Its amazing just how often Democrats do politically stupid things, and just the right moment to save the GOP from itself.
Once upon a time, Charles Manson believeds that “Helter Skelter” was “coming down.” Go on with your delusions and keep communicating with your triangular UFO, Kookcinich! When you’re bored with that, go talk to a few trees.
Yeah, and HUNDREDS of millions think those "millions" are a bunch of frigging idiots, just like the idiot that stands there and claims to "represent" them.
I think UFO boy got confused. Single digit approval is a bad thing, not the top ten.
Do do do, do do do your traveling to another dimension...
Go for it Dennis .. Grandma Nan will be thrilled about this news
I heard the aliens in that UFO were going to abduct Kookcinich, but they decided not to because they couldn't tell which end to use the rectal probe on..
cue the “Twilight Zone” theme.. sounds like this guy took one too many trips in orbit.
This is going to be so embarassing for the little guy.
I bet he doesn’t even know Cheney’s responsibilities.
He’s pandering. Look for their approval numbers to go lower if this ‘vote’ comes to pass. But then again - the more time they waste the less they can mess up the country.
Abuse of office? The VP office is not worth a bucket of warm S_IT, and THAT was from a DEMOCRAT!.............
