Signed, sealed, delivered: At 9 a.m. yesterday, May 1, aka “Mission Accomplished Day,” Ellen Tenney of Rockingham, Vermont, presented Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert with petitions from three towns in Vermont calling for the impeachment of George Bush. The towns each passed resolutions to send the petitions.

These are the first of what organizers are hoping will be many petitions submitted by towns, cities and possibly states across the nation to Congress. Organizers say they are presented under the guidelines of Jefferson’s Manual, Section 603, and likely will be referred to a House committee — probably the Judiciary — for consideration.

Similar resolutions have now been passed by at least 13 cities and towns, and have been introduced in three state legislatures, with more expected this week.

Information on this procedure and a list of cities and states where resolutions have been introduced or passed can be found here.
