Sets forth articles of impeachment stating that Vice President Cheney: (1) has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, and about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq in a manner damaging to U.S. national security interests; and (2) has openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the United States, and has done so with the U.S. proven capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining U.S. national security.

Impeachment meaning: Impeachment, in the U.S. and Great Britain, proceeding by a legislature for the removal from office of a public official charged with misconduct in office. Impeachment comprises both the act of formulating the accusation and the resulting trial of the charges; it is frequently but erroneously taken to mean only the removal from office of an accused public official. An impeachment trial may result in either an acquittal or in a verdict of guilty. In the latter case the impeached official is removed from office; if the charges warrant such action, the official is also remanded to the proper authorities for trial before a court.
Treason meaning: Treason
, treason n the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war

I think it is good that you offer other NP articles in your story

It is important to allow others the insight to view other means & views on this subject matter. Thanks Politisite

I must come clean. Out of 790 storys with the word, "impeachement" contained in the article there were only 4 articles that were against impreachment. So I was unfair by saying that Everchanging missed articles. With this ratio, it would be painstaking to find an article in support of not impeaching Bush on NowPublic. I also want to clarify that one does NOT have to add articles from both sides. It is the writers choice. In my comment I opened with something like, "You did miss stories associated with the other side". I think my statement may have been inappropriate and I offer my appology to the Writer.

Agreed, a fair and balanced approach is best. Lay he cards on the table, make an argument and let the audience judge for themselves, having read all opinions for all sides. May the best / mot valid argument win.
Liberty of free debate is one of the greatest virtues this country has to offer. We can come together, speak our minds and resolve our issues as best we can. Everyone should be allowed a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation, if they wish it and have something worthwhile to contribute.
Cheers,

You did miss stories associated with the other side. That is fine as I have done that as well.
Let me share my view on the matter. There are no grounds for impeachment. I wonder why Scott McClellan's book has come out at the same time Kucinich is going forth with Impeachment and his first round of interviews was in left leaning forums? The whole impeachment process could not be completed by the presidents end of term. They are also trying to Impeach Cheney as well. Who would become President? The Speaker of the House Peloisi. We call that a Coup in other countries.
Here is Something else to consider, While the Congress, controlled by the Democratic Party, has held endless hearings on things like Baseball steroids, the most ethical congress in history, will not hold a hearing on Congressman who had oversight over the mortgage industry, who got Sweet Heart deals with Countrywide Mortgage, These are the same senators who are working on Bailouts for these companies that have cost many folks their homes. Now lets be fair. Bush and Cheney went on Poor Intelligents as did every congressman including Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy who voted to go to war. If and only if Bush and Cheney lied, It was congress who was responsible for oversight and funding. The war could not happen without congressional funding. The bottom line is they will be impeaching Bush and Cheney for their some of their own crimes.
I disagree with you, but at the same time I appreciate your work. Both sides should be examined and I am glad you provided your view on the subject.

Thanks for reminding me, I will add the stories from the other side.
I doubt this would be considered a coup, from the "Declaration of Independence" - "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
As far as the length of time for the proceeding of Impeachment and the length of time remaining in office - you may or may not have a point. The process or proceedings can and should be expedited to allow for the seriousness of their action regarding the War in Iraq.
Regarding Mr. Cheney - I have placed this information in the article and seeing that he was placed for Impeachment before the President. He should go forward 1st.
Regarding Congresses voting for the funding the war. There was a push and demand by the Whitehouse with the documentation at the time that only served for the process of war, while known documents at the time where not allowed to properly be presented to be precedent (non-disclosure). U.S. Senate select Committee on Intelligence - Phase II Report.
While you have every right to disagree, I also appreciate your thoughts and insights on this.

Very well done rebuttal, I appreciate you taking my opinion point by point. That is the way I like a conversation.
Thank You very much

everchanging, I like this story. It's good stuff.

everchanging, great story. I love that picture of Dubya, dancing like a very challenged monkey
And I respect Congressman Kucinich for doing such a great job of documenting and presenting the impeachment articles vs both Bush and Cheney.
The USA needs more citizens like him, to stand up for our Constitution, and defend it at all costs.
*All* elected officials should take notes -- the job is about defending the Constitution and representing your constituents, not your special interests and personal agendas.

Thank you.
Very well said on the remind of what these people are elected for "to protect and up hold the constitution of the united States.

Maybe, others still have not given up and for the record as long as they're in office - they still can be impeached and need to be.
No CEO of any company would survive the board or a proxy vote for acts like these against any company while continually losing funds and threading these individuals current and future livelihood.
