"Even Obama would have been smart enough to vote "present." "

Peter King voted FOR IT. Peter King. You don't vote "present", if you want to make sure the bill dies in committee, do you?

This is painfully stupid that someone would make this claim.

If King - and unapologetic supporter of the Iraq War and other measures on the WOT - had voted to "impeach Bush"

This is how procedural shenanigans get done in both houses. The leadership gives the marching orders to specific Congressman to perhaps vote in an unorthodox way to make sure bill die in committee. It happens ALL THE TIME.

It's amazing how obtuse some people can be about the legislative process, especially considering they're posting on a political chat-board.

I expect you'll get over it.
