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.).
I’m sure plastic face is dying with dread waiting for this crap. Me? I f#$king LOVE IT! Kuku will drive the ratHouse approval numbers down to single digits. Nine is a nice round number.
I guess going forth, it will not matter who is in office, the other side will call for impeachment now. Kooky needs to find a life. Maybe take that wife out for a malt or something.
Keep those eyes spinning counter clock wise Dennis.
Kucinich really only seems to have one thing going for him...
***********
Must be the tie you are talking about.
Kookie is trying to appease his whackjob base and look real hard left radical......
It will kill them in the general election next year if they do.
Nobody wants to go back to 1997 / 1998.
the more time they waste the less they can mess up the countryAbsolutely. All the stupid hearings and all the stupid committee sessions... it's time they aren't spending writing even more stupid laws.
LOL!
When the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will rule the planets, and Kucinich will find his arse.
By the way, has L Ron signed on to this yet?
I swear this pair is probably the inspiration for it.

The thing about ‘progressives’(lol) meaning Leftist of course is that they do not understand the concept of nationality or citizenship.
They want illegals(non American citizens) to vote and they want to give AMERICAN constitutional protection to foreign terrorists. Hello! They are not American citizens. Foreign terrorists do not fall under the American judicial system. They do not have the same rights as an American citizen. (crazy)
The gist I get from the Leftists is that everyone in the world has the same American rights as an American citizen. I don’t get it but hey, we all know the Leftist are frekin self-destructive, loony, nuts so it is futile to try to dissect their position with logic. (just plain insanity)
He's not smart enough to be embarrassed.
Well, they better throw out Hillary and Kennedy as well for their statements concerning Saddam and WMDs. Maybe a House Republican with ... guts can make and amendment to add them and read their statements.
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." -- Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002
Not to be coarse, but Dennis Kucinich couldn’t force out a moderately-wide turd without straining. Good luck with the vote.
His choice in ties?
