Articles of Impeachment

of

President George W. Bush

and

Attorney General John David Ashcroft

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from
Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors. - - ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John David Ashcroft have committed violations and
subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with
impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights
of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial
executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those

reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:

1) Threatening Iraq with a first-strike war of aggression by overwhelming and indiscriminate force including specific threats to use nuclear weapons while engaged in a massive military build-up in surrounding nations and waters.

2) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and
locations where civilian casualties are unavoidable.

3) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently proclaiming an
intention to change its government by force while preparing to assault Iraq in a war of aggression.

4) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret

and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of
prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and
individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents
elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments
to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

5) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign
governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media
and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public
discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain
weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to
U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

6) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a

part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an
attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and
threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United
Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting
treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy
any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the

exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

7) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering
indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without
opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the
discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

8) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without
charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

9) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of
detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a
detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

10) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens
who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official,
prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

11) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identifies and locations of persons who have

been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in
response to Congressional inquiry.

12) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right
to public trials.

13) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the
government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not
been charged with a crime.

14) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to
hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary
designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

15) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by
federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and
political activity.

16) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional

right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

17) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of
the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without
consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the
United States and Russia, and recission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

>> What a joke. "Johnson's AG." that should explain it all. <<

ANYONE who worked for the JOHNSON adminstration has no place screaming about "unjust" wars. If he was hired after early 1964, he accepted the post DESPITE Johnson's efforts to pass and impliment the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

[BillyBoy]

Here we are:

Cabinet Members Under L. B. Johnson (1963-1969)

Secretary of State
Dean Rusk (Cont.)

Secretary of the Treasury
C. Douglas Dillon (Cont.)
Henry H. Fowler, 1965
Joseph W. Barr1, 1968

Secretary of Defense
Robert S. McNamara (Cont.)
Clark M. Clifford, 1968

Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy (Cont.)
N. de B. Katzenbach, 1965
Ramsey Clark, 1967

Seems the lying, hypocritical, socialist PUKE accepted his nomination to the Johnson adminstration while the Vietnam War was in FULL swing. How nice of him to offer his services for an "D" adminstration running a unilaterial and agressive pre-emptive war.

Can you say charlatan?

According to this website, Clark turned more to the left after he was AG of the U.S. Interesting read!

"Don't underestimate your enemy."

I have to agree. Ramsey Clark and the A.N.S.W.E.R. organization seem to be connected to a number of recent anti-American campaigns. They are well organized and apparently have substantial funding. They get a lot of useful idiots to carry signs for them but the core organization is a dangerous group of people. We need to continue to expose this bunch of maggots along with their relationship to Conyers and other members of the Democrat party.

Dear Ramsey,

Since you are so fond of reading the Constitution, you might want to review Article III, Section 3. It seems to apply to you:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

[CyberAnt]

Has Conyers backed out of introducing this in the House ...??

He needs to be careful - a lot of black people like GW and I don't think this will sit well.

[Clara Lou]

Hell is too good for Ramsey Clark.

[PhilipFreneau]

Ramsey Clark truly need to be committed. He is suffering from a severe case of paranoia and grandiosity.

[First_Salute]

Yeah ... if I recall an earlier posting, he did back off.

I'm sad for each person affected negatively... but the fact remains that America and other industrialized nations have chosen to allow immigaration to people with skills. Many of these people were educated in American Schools or worked for American Corporations overseas. The belief that you get what you pay for, is in the greater context, correct - if you understand that workers brought in to help. Nobody is promised a job in America. The reason IT folks are well paid is knowledge. 3-5 years experience is the first real benchmark. In that time span, these new employees will have put the cap on wages in the IT sector to some extent. Do I feel my job is in jeapordy - yes, but that only serves to make me work harder at every aspect of the organization, e.g., administration, inventory control, personnel management/relations, backup plans, and general IT functions (I look at all the inspection guidelines, all the security guidelines, etc., and implement them after work and on weekends without pay). When my employeer looks at me and my part of the business infastructure, he knows he is better off.

woops, wrong article....

[flogger-d]

You would think that there would be something that could be done. I found out to my unhappiness that the US government considers WWP, IAC, and international Answer to be tax deductible charitable organizations under 501(c)(3).
