Joining Illinois, California has become the second state in which a proposal to impeach President Bush has been introduced in the state legislature. And this one includes Cheney as well.
The resolution, in the words of Koretz’s press release, “bases the call for impeachment upon the Bush Administration intentionally misleading the Congress and the American people regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify an unnecessary war that has cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives and casualties; exceeding constitutional authority to wage war by invading Iraq; exceeding constitutional authority by Federalizing the National Guard; conspiring to torture prisoners in violation of the ‘Federal Torture Act’ and indicating intent to continue such actions; spying on American citizens in violation of the 1978 Foreign Agency Surveillance Act; leaking and covering up the leak of the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson, and holding American citizens without charge or trial.”
I firmly believe that Bush was exactly the kind of person the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the impeachment process into the constitution. If ever there was a President who needed to be impeached, this is he.
Sadly, it’ll never happen as there are no blow jobs involved.
Edited to add: There was a database issue this morning, and I just realized my first post about Illinois (being the first state to do this) passing the same resolution never got posted. Oops. Anyway, those would be the two states in on this thing so far.
