    Having failed in efforts to impeach Vice President Cheney, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) escalated his battle against the administration this week by introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush, using a parliamentary maneuver that will probably force a vote today. 
    Kucinich's impeachment measure accuses Bush of taking the country to war in Iraq under false pretenses; he introduced it as a "privileged resolution," which requires the House to take it up within two legislative days. Any lawmaker may offer a privileged resolution, but it is usually done only by party leaders. 
  Kucinich, upon introducing his articles of impeachment Monday evening, insisted on reading the resolution into the Congressional Record, a process that took nearly five hours. He finished reading it late yesterday after the close of legislative business. 
  As they have previously, Democratic leaders staunchly oppose Kucinich's impeachment effort. They expect to table the resolution by referring it to the Judiciary Committee, where they expect it to die. 
  House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) suggested yesterday that engaging in a lengthy debate over impeaching Bush in the waning days of his administration is not a productive use of the House's time. 
  Kucinich tried a similar maneuver last November, bringing an impeachment measure against Cheney to the floor as a privileged resolution. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

  Hi Jay,

This is a very important question. I didn't know this until I saw the 
interview on C-SPAN (Washington Journal) this morning with the Editor of 
"The Hill." He explained it, but unfortunately I didn't give it my full 
attention. It has something to do with the way Kucinich introduced the 
bill using a special prioritization procedure that enabled him to bypass 
normal channels. I think he did this to bypass Pelosi, but I couldn't say 
for sure. Anyway, I think the source is reliable. If you want to see it 
for yourself, I think C-SPAN repeats Washington Journal at some point 
during the day. The interview was the very first part of the show this 
morning that aired at 6:00am Central Time.

Cheers,
Robin

Hi, Robin--

Do you have a source on that? I'm no scholar of congressional procedure but 
I think a bill has to go to committee and be voted out of it, meaning a 
majority of the committee(s) has to approve it before it goes to the floor 
of the House. Maybe there's a committee vote today? I'm skeptical of that 
too,though, since one of the means of blocking any impeachment effort has 
been to refuse to set up committee hearings. But like I said, I don't 
follow all that down to the nits and grits so maybe someone else can find 
out what's going on here....

Hello Folks,

Hopefully, all of you get your news from somewhere other than main stream
media. If not, you may not be aware that a bill to impeach Bush (35
counts) was introduced on Monday by Dennis Kucinich. This bill will be
going to vote TODAY. Please call your Congressional Representative to tell 
them you support this bill.

Thanks,
Robin
