Back in the Clinton era, Rep. Bob Barr filed articles of impeachment against Pres. Clinton in the fall of 1997, fully a year before the momentum was in place to proceed to the actual impeachment. Keep that in mind as you read this:
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a candidate for president, introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney to the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
Under the House impeachment process, Kucinich’s articles would be reviewed by the committee, which would decide whether to conduct an impeachment inquiry. The committee would seek authority from the entire House before beginning an inquiry.
The Ohio congressman said Cheney manipulated and fabricated intelligence on weapons of mass destruction to justify the Iraq war.
Kucinich said it was important to introduce the legislation “because the threat of war against Iran is very real.”
“This vice president cannot be permitted to continue to violate both the U.S. Constitution and the U.N. Charter,” he added.

I hope Us citizens and congress support this wise congressman.
This is nothing more than a pipe dream.
Notice that Kucinich had NO fellow sponsors on the bill?
That’s because the rest of the cowardly House is too busy sucking up tthe $$$$$from donors like Boeing and AIPAC to be bothered with something so “trivial” as running the crooks, liars and murderers out of office.
Back to 1776 mode, folks.
