I wish to be officially on record in support of the impeachment of President Bush. My previous blog posts will serve as my own justification for this severe, yet constitutionally, proscribed legal remedy. Our Republic means nothing if we allow the actions and crimes of George Bush to stand without sanction. Come on my fellow Republicans and Democrats...don't be so feckless and do what your job requires of you!
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate from Ohio, introduced a resolution to impeach President Bush into the House of Representatives Tuesday, having the clerk of the House read the 35-article document in its entirety.
Kucinich, who last year introduced a resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney, announced his intention to seek Bush’s impeachment Monday night when he also 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.
