Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich took to the House of
Representatives floor on Monday evening to introduce a 35-count
resolution to impeach President George W. Bush.
Kucinich claimed Bush "fraudulently" justified the war on Iraq and
misled "the American people and members of Congress to believe Iraq
possessed weapons of mass destruction so as to manufacture a false case
for war."
"President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office," Kucinich said.
Kucinich said in January that he planned to launch an impeachment
effort against Bush, but delayed his effort after meeting with members
of the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Commitee hasn't acted
on a bid Kucinich launched last year to impeach Vice President Dick
Cheney.
On the issue of protecting The People he's been a mixed bag. He did go after terrorists and threatening dictatorships but he has done virtually nothing to expel dangerous illegals at the cost of the lives of many citizens living inside our borders.
Those are the issues I would impeach G.W. on. But I've seen enough of Kicinich to know that these are not the issues that rankle him. You can see, then, that everyone has his own axe to grind against Bush. The same is true of all Presidents past and future. We just can't go around threatening every one of them with impeachment because we have a gripe.
You may be right that Kucinich's accusations amount to more than a gripe but I seriously doubt it. I will do my best to find his "Articles of Impeachment" and read them. A post will follow, I'm sure.
