Articles of Impeachment To Be Filed On Cheney

Looks like he's reached his boiling point.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic
presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent
to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file
articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his
campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential
candidates in the field for their votes on authorizing the war.


Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority
to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the
United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors."

Sources tell the Sleuth that in light of the mass killings at Virginia
Tech Monday, Kucinich's impeachment plans have been put on hold. There
will be no action this week, they say.

Kucinich's office had no comment on the Congressman's "Dear Colleague"
letter -- which apparently was drafted over the weekend, before the
school massacre -- or on what the focus of articles of impeachment
against Cheney would be.

But Kucinich shouldn't hold his breath on getting anywhere with his
impeachment plan. "We'll see a Kucinich Administration before we'll see
a Cheney impeachment," quipped one Democratic aide.


Here is the text of his letter, a copy of which was forwarded to the
Sleuth:


April 17, 2007

Dear Colleague:

This week I intend to introduce Articles of Impeachment with respect to
the conduct of Vice President Cheney. Please have your staff contact my
office . . . if you would like to receive a confidential copy of the
document prior to its introduction in the House.

Sincerely,

/s/

Dennis J. Kucinich

Member of Congress
