Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Cheney
Thank you for your e-mails and alerts. Special thanks to OGD. On Tuesday, Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors related to his participation in the buildup for the war in Iraq:
In an 18-page draft resolution, Kucinich outlined three charges against Cheney: that he manipulated the intelligence process . . . by fabricating the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the war in Iraq; that he deceived citizens and Congress about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda to justify the war; and that he has openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United States, and has done so with the United States proven capability to carry out such threats.
In all this, Vice President Richard B. Cheney has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as vice president, and subversive to constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and the manifest injury of the people of the United States . . . [and] by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office, the resolution concluded.
