It is now official, Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has filed three articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney. Kucinich a six term congressman had been tossing the idea around for the past month by making several videos asking United States citizens to let him know what they thought. The videos have been posted to his campaign's YouTube page and had received great support.
The articles are embodied in H.R. 333.. The entire resolution is a 18 page detailed entry but below I have listed the meat of it.
1.The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has 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.
2.The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda in order to justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests.
3.In his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice 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 openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States, and done so with the United States proven capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security of the United States.
The looks of it are good, but what will the rest of the house think? The way the house votes these days it seems like there aren't many congresspeople working for there constituents any more. They think the only people that matter are the big donors funding their runs. So if impeachment is what you want make sure you call your congressperson and let them have a ear full. And just maybe after enough see they are working for us they will snap to reality before they find the unemployment line.
