Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles

David Edwards and Mike Sheehan
Raw Story
Tuesday, June 10, 2008

An Ohio Democratic lawmaker and former presidential candidate has presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush to Congress.

Thirty-five articles were presented by Rep. Dennis Kucinich to the House of Representatives late Monday evening, airing live on C-SPAN.

"The House is not in order," said Kucinich to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), upon which Pelosi pounded her gavel.

"Resolved," Kucinich then began, "that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate. ...

(Article continues below)


"In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power..."

The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed, regarded the war in Iraq: "Article 1 - Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq."

On several occasions, Kucinich referenced RAW STORY and its noted investigative news chief, Larisa Alexandrovna, as source material for the articles. Two of the RAW STORY pieces Kucinich mentioned are viewable here and here.

Kucinich, a 2004 and 2008 Democratic candidate for the White House, abandoned a prior attempt to begin impeachment proceedings against Bush in January of this year.

In April of 2007, Kucinich presented impeachment articles against Vice President Dick Cheney, but the effort went nowhere. Kucinich exclaimed that "impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran."

Before leaving office in January 2007, then-Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney--currently a Green Party presidential candidate--introduced articles of impeachment against President Bush as her last act in Congress, but that effort also was fruitless.

I agree with TM7 on this one. After 9/11, they could have proposed drilling at the top Mt. Rushmore and you could have probably got it passed. 
This entire mess with gas prices and the Iraq war are to keep us fully invested in the Mid.East.
I blame Congress more than the Bush administration.

There are multiple, and I'm sure complex, reasons why we need to keep a presence and dependence on the Middle East.  I've heard everything from "military/security" to "Envronmental" to "Conspiracy/New World Order"  Personally, I think it's a combination of all those factors.

It works for me. 'sides we just need to make it 'til 2012 anyway.  Also, the welfarers have decided to embalm Byrd and run him for yet another term.  They figured that Teddy K. has been embalmed for years and nobody noticed so why not Harry Byrd. 

That smell is those pintos beans and jalapeno corn bread I had for supper.  The dog decided to sleep in the barn tonight.  :D
