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.).
IMPEACH KUCINICH
Yeah, sure, the momemtum is unstoppable.
Nutjob
Yet anothwer stupid mistake by the left....
Rove you magnificent bastard!!
There’s a link on house.gove called “Kids In The House”. It obviously refers to Kukucinich and friends.
That’s house.gov
LOL!! That is a genius phrase! I'm wiping the tears. To quote Mark Levin, you knocked it out of the park!
This isn't even decent political theater, it's more like a Congressional Punch and Judy show. If the Dems don't want Her Thighness impeached on her first day in office for passing gas, they'd better rein this one in.
Aw shucks, that dennis sure is a laugh a minute, gotta luv this guy, he just doesn’t know when to quit,,,,keep it up dennis, your credibility is zero, you’re a real live comedy show, everyday you come up with something even more bizzare than the day before.....yep, dennis for president...what a hoot!
The "high crime and misdemeanor" is when Cheney told Leaky to "f**k off!"
Why doesnt he just call on his UFO friends to abduct Cheney?
LOL!!!!

It will split the national Democratic party right down the middle, with some supporting the measure and others not. Those who don't support impeachment will be written off by the liberal DUmmies as right-wingers, and won't get their support anymore, leading to easy wins for conservatives.
One of yours.
But where's Uranus??
sorry, had to say it
No. More like Russian trained, English raised handler.
Personally, I think her story about ‘falling in love at first sight’ is so obviously part of her ‘cover’ that it’s laughable.
She was ‘sent’ to do this. As I keep saying. We lost our country.
We must fight to get it back.
Kucinich is pursuing a political road that (especially right now) makes no sense. He is being ‘persuaded’ to do this.
Behind every xxxxxx man there is a xxxxxxx woman (looking down at him like one does on the ferris wheel to the people on the ground)
Isn’t that a list of the so called “bottom of the democratic political barrel”?????
Rep. Edolphus Towns?
If this action harms the Dims then why not have the Repbs go ahead and vote for this?
Show the Dim folly for what it is.
Don’t think that’ll happen though.
