Kucinich effort to impeach Bush moved to committee
[Quote:]
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to refer a proposal to impeach President Bush to its Judiciary Committee.
Although the committee could hold hearings and start impeachment proceedings against the lame-duck president, Democratic leaders and others expect the proposal, sponsored by Cleveland Democrat Dennis Kucinich, to merely languish.
Another Kucinich resolution, to impeach Vice President Cheney, has sat in the committee without action since last year.
The House voted 251-166, without debate, for the latest impeachment referral. No Democrats voted against it, while 24 Republicans voted for it, including Steve LaTourette of Concord Township and Mike Turner of Dayton.
LaTourette said he voted that way in order to get the matter off the House floor and let it follow regular order. Turner said he voted to send it to the committee because “the House has more important things to be focused on.”
No you don’t. You’re sending the message that future Presidents van basically do whatever the fuck they want, and if that isn’t importnat, I don’t know what is.
In an ideal world, Obama would be the 46th President of the USA. (W is 43, Cheney would be 44 after impeachment of Bush, Pelosi would be 45 after impeachment of Cheney)
