Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles

June 9, 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 CSPAN.

"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. ...

"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."

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, 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.

This country and these people will be trying to undo the idiotic things put in place by GWB, not to mention our falling popularity in the world, for a long, long time. Why just let the turd go home and not be held accountable? That goes for Cheney, Rove and the rest of 'em. Check this out....http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/450/y7635_450.jpeg

Are you sure he was standing?? I couldn't tell. Somebody get the man a step stool.

PS. Get him a tin foil hat too... he needs protection from the aliens.


Incredible. Is this all you got? The evidence is mounting that that the charge against Bush is true, can you stick to the topic or do you have to turn to Rush-ite tactics of ridicule and name calling?

Some of you people need to learn to put your loyalty to your country ahead of your party.

If they had any "proof" he would have been impeached by your lib buddies in Congress. They don't, therefore he hasn't.

By the way, don't you ever question my loyalty to this country you idiot. I have served this country for more than 19 years. If you don't know what you are talking about it's best just to keep your **** mouth closed.

Here's a quick link:

I know it's from wiki, but it explains the system pretty quickly and clearly. Bill clinton commited perjury. That is what he was impeached for. I don't care who he had sex with, just his lying under oath about it.

Exactly, but the evidence was obtained illegally. So what you don't understand is that there was 2 crimes committed. This is why Clinton lying under oath could not hold up in any court. You republicans were so upset that he was doing a great job that you broke the law to try and bring him down. This is just like you crooked idiots. You would much rather have a republican bring this country down than have it prosper under a democratic president. Selfish republicans are destroying this country and you for some reason are supporting them. You should be ashamed.

T3,
I respect your post but disagree. Republicans have become just as biiterly partisan as democrats. Bill Clinton was the anti-christ to republicans and his lie in a civil matter warranted him thrown from the Whitehouse. Bush's lie about the run up to the war gets a pass. Ithink deception to take the country to war and the death and maiming of thousands of US soldiers is very serious. At some point conservatives are going to have to face the misic and accurately assign blame and at some time the record of this administration has to face the music. Over 4 thousand dead and maimed US soldiers as well and untold civilians.

See, I knew that you didn't know. Stupidity and misinformation is exactly what republicans love. It makes it easier for them to do what they want. You are a perfect candidate for them, or should I say sucker.

And Kucinich knows it. It's purely political. He's just pandering too the anti-republican crowd, and they'll eat it up.

If we got rid of everybody that "violated their constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws of the land", we'd have to get rid of 'em all. Hey, that's not a bad idea.

YOu need to attempt something new, it's called backing up your statement with FACTS. Until then, you are just spreading talking points and proving that you are the "sucker".
Southern Patriot,


Let me jumpstart your memory. Linda Tripp was indicted on two criminal charges by a Maryland grand jury for illegally taping her telephone calls with Monica Lewinsky.

Mrs. Tripp vioilated Maryland wiretap laws that make it illegal for one person to tape record a conversation with another person without that other person's consent.


So, as you can see it was the republicans breaking the law first.
Sorry, but you need to follow the money Kucinich heavily overspent in his latest democrat primary. He spent even heavier in his joke of campaign for the Presidency Part of this is a ploy to get money from the Moveon.org and Daily Kos bunch to finance his campaign debts.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, ran for president this year even though he still owed $459,000 from his failed 2004 White House race. Now he's in the hole for another $1.1 million.

Your lack of knowledge about what is admissible evidence and what isn't is quite obvious. While it would have rendered the evidence inadmissible if a governmental agency had taped the conversation, nothing precludes one citizen from taping another and later offering it to authorities. Happens all the time.

Furthermore, the Maryland Attorney General dismissed the charges because of lack of evidence on the prosecution's part.

Sassy,


I'm not the one lacking in this case. Let me explain what the Maryland wiretaping law states:

In Maryland it is illegal for one person to tape record a conversation with another person without the other person's consent, assuming that the one making the recordings knows that the state's statues forbid it. Prosecuters said in the indictment that Mrs. Tripp illegally taped a telephone conversation with Mrs. Lewinsky without her permission after Mrs Tripp was told by her lawyer that secret taping was illegal.


The info used during the impeachment was obtained by Linda Tripp wearing a wire. This action was approved by court order.

Her recording the phone calls was illegal. I won't argue with you on that one. The info from the wire was legal.
