Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles

An Ohio Democratic lawmaker and former presidential candidate
has presented articles of impeachment against President George
W. Bush to Congress.
Thirty-five articles were presented by Rep. Dennis Kucinich to
the House of Representatives late Monday evening, airing live
on C-SPAN.
"The House is not in order," said Kucinich to Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA), upon which Pelosi pounded her gavel.
"Resolved," Kucinich then began, "that President George W.
Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that
the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the
United States Senate. ...
"In his conduct while President of the United States, George
W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully
execute the office of president of the United States, and to
the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his
constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully
executed, has committed the following abuses of power..."
The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed,
regarded the war in Iraq: "Article 1 - Creating a secret
propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war
against Iraq."
On several occasions, Kucinich referenced RAW STORY and its
noted investigative news chief, Larisa Alexandrovna, as source
material for the articles. Two of the RAW STORY pieces
Kucinich mentioned are viewable here and here.
Kucinich, a 2004 and 2008 Democratic candidate for the White
House, abandoned a prior attempt to begin impeachment
proceedings against Bush in January of this year.
In April of 2007, Kucinich presented impeachment articles
against Vice President Dick Cheney, but the effort went
nowhere. Kucinich exclaimed that "impeachment may well be the
only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against
Iran."
Before leaving office in January 2007, then-Democratic Rep.
Cynthia McKinney--currently a Green Party presidential
candidate--introduced articles of impeachment against
President Bush as her last act in Congress, but that effort
also was fruitless.

A government, of, by, and, for: Rich, Elite, Freemasons.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
The light ****neth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
