McDermott to Cheney: ‘Resign or face impeachment’ By Chris Good June 29, 2007 Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) told Vice President Dick Cheney to “resign or face impeachment” Thursday night as three more House Democrats lent their support to a plan to impeach the vice president.
“The vice president holds himself above the law, and it is time for the Congress to enforce the law,” McDermott said in a floor speech. “For the good of the nation, the vice president could leave office immediately.”
McDermott was one of three House Democrats to come out in favor of impeachment Thursday, along with Reps. Keith Ellison (Minn.) and Hank Johnson (Ga.). Including the three lawmakers, seven members in June have shown new support for impeaching Cheney.
McDermott cited Cheney’s refusal to cooperate with the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), which, pursuant to an order signed by President Clinton, oversees the handling of classified documents by executive agencies. McDermott denounced a 2004 claim that Cheney’s office is not part of the executive branch.
“When a sitting vice president claims that he is not part of the executive branch of government to which he was elected, it is time to remove him from office,” McDermott said.

America to McDermott: Kiss my ass
Can we put Fred Thompson in as VP for the next year or so? :oP
Impeachment for what? Another Democratic fantasy. Back away from the pills boys.
How come McDermott isn’t in jail for the wire-tapping thing he did to Gingrich???
Seems like we need to goose the ethics committee along...
yeah..sure....
McDermott & Co. are terrified that the Code Pinkos are leaving them in droves because the Dems didn't do what they said on the war.
ROFL. And what is the exact alleged ‘high crime’ or ‘misdemeanor’ ? Being an liberal fantasy land evil overlord ?
“Sir, put the mushrooms down and back away.”
Probably for the salmon that he killed in yesterdays thread.
“When a sitting vice president claims that he is not part of the executive branch of government to which he was elected, it is time to remove him from office,”
ROFL. I guess that’s as good a reason as any .
"Except in the case of immigration law enforcement," McDermott added.
"There's no way we can tackle that," he said. /sarcasm
Ha! Bring it on, lowly Congressman!
McDermott deserves a beer bottle up side the head
Is there a Communist takeover going on in Washington D.C. or what?!!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
*breath*
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....

“Probably for the salmon that he killed in yesterdays thread.”
Ohhhhhhhhhhh PETA must really be mad.
Externally?
No.
Could this possibly help the country at all?
No.
Would this help the DhimmicRat party?
It sure would.
This has been their end-game since Gore lost the recount. Drive them from office to bolster their own party.
Dhims: To hell with the country. We want power.
Pretty strange advice coming from McDirtbag
