Rep. Dennis Kucinich Introduces 35 Articles Of Impeachment: Open Thread

By Nicole Belle — June 8, 2008

UPDATE: It's on CSPAN right now!

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential contender, said Monday he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush. Speaker Nancy Pelosi consistently has said impeachment was "off the table."

Kucinich, D-Ohio, read his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. He contended Bush deceived the nation and violated his oath of office in leading the country into the Iraq war.

Kucinich introduced a resolution last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. That resolution was killed, but only after Republicans initially voted in favor of taking up the measure to force a debate.

I'm doubtful he'll get support of the House on this, but if you want to send an "Attaboy!" to Kucinich, contact him here.
