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.

Nice thought...Cheney as President!
“Impeachment for what? Another Democratic fantasy. Back away from the pills boys.”
IMPEACHMENT IS GREAT FOR THE GOP.
Exposes the Democrats as the slimy hatefilled extremists that they are, who will put aside the nation’s business for their Jihad against anyone who is a real conservative.
Bring it on.
Yep, the left doesn’t understand intra-GOP dynamics at all.
They think if you threaten it enough, people believe it is true, because, of course, the media will report it each and every time it is threatened. So, you pound your lie into the heads of the masses and soon they believe there is something.
You got it right!
Well, it really does not matter if they are going to do it or not - we will fight it.
I am so tired of the attitude - well, you know the Democrats will think this, or the democrats will never let us do this, or the democrats are going to do this - so don’t fight it.
I don’t care a whit what the democrats are going to do - it will just mean we fight it to the end.
Have you noticed how the dems work. They lost big on the immigration bill packed with pork and sneaky little incidious ways to destroy America. Yet, today we hear they are going to work on Guantanamo, they are attacking Cheney, they are already planning another attack on Bush over Iraq.
They never quit. They never turn on their own. If losing, you don’t see them complaining on page after page of the blogs about who did what wrong.
They are playing the averages. You try 75 agenda moves and hopefully you will get 50. If not, you just turn and move an inch in the other direction - never turning on your own, never tearing down your own - just ooze your agenda forward in whatever direction it will move.
We need to learn this lesson and quit playing weak little mice.
They remind me of the old moving the BLOG. Anyone could outrun it, but it just oozed over everything.
Why?
Moving = movie.
I hear what you're saying brother, and I appreciate your respect, and share your reverence for the beverage. However, if I could do the bottle breaking on that walking phlem puddle, I'd consider an unopened bottle of Dom Perignon well spent.
His is a face I could only stand to see on a milk carton.
i have been negligent in this thread. In the region i live in, we have prepared ourselves for @$$#ole$ like McDermott. Behold!, Iron City Beer comes to the rescue with beer that will withstand the hardest head.
That's gonna leave a mark!
I think his health will be the primary reason.
In the spirit of bipartisanship, Cheney should invite McDermott on a hunting trip.
with McDermott and Elison lined up against him, I’m sure VP Cheney is trembling.
Beat me to it, except that I would have hoped for Duncan Hunter as VP. I posted the same idea several months ago BEFORE Cheney had his latest health episode. Whoever the inserted VP would be, they would probably get the nod from the republican party.
Exactly. Sometimes Rove amazes me. :o)
What?
BRING IT ON!!!!!
