25 US Reps Want Bush Impeachment Inquiry [Barfer]

ATLANTA–25 US Representatives–including two members of the Georgia delegation–have now signed on as co-sponsors of H. Res 635, demanding a probe which could recommend Bush’s impeachment, including the initial sponsor, US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

If the Democratic Party is able to retake the US House of Representatives, Rep. Conyers would become Chairman Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee, whereas he is currently minority leader on the Committee.

If not acted on this session, the bill would have to be reintroduced next session. It is possible that a new bill could include new language regarding NSA domestic wiretapping.

Sources in Washington DC tell Atlanta Progressive News that H. Res 635 is a venue for coalition among members of Congress who are willing to consider impeachment for a variety of reasons.

Even though H. Res 635 does not specifically reference the NSA domestic wiretapping issue, some Members of US Congress have found the wiretapping issue to be a compelling reason to sign on as a co-sponsor, sources say.

26 US Representatives now total want Bush either to face an impeachment probe or to resign. US Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) is the representative who has called for Bush’s resignation, according to a World Can’t Wait statement issued to Atlanta Progressive News.

Two (2) Members of US Congress signed on yesterday, February 14, 2006, including US Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) and US Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), according to thomas.loc.gov. Since APN’s last story on H. Res 635, US Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), also signed on, having done so on February 8, 2006. Press representatives for Reps. Moore, Velazquez, and Honda were not immediately available for comment.

You know what is so pathetic of these pathetic people is that they think that impeachment means removal..they forget that there is a Senate trial and there must be at least 67 Senators to vote for removal..and that is not happening..jeez

The GOP will hold both houses. Bush is going to campaign like there is no tomorrow (which for him, there is not).

the impeachment crap will get nowhere. He's got the dems on their heels big time.

BTW, are you related to HitmanNY

They're pushing for impeachment before the news of Saddam's WMDs comes out & blows their puny little butts out of the water.

who petulantly insist they will 'stay home' unless the GOP is much more aligned with their values, should realize this.


The flipside of that statement is that Republicans politicians who want to stay in power should not forget that they are supposed to be somewhat conservative.

I recommend that every last one of them accompany VP Cheney on his next quail hunt. Conyers goes first. The VP might have to upgrade to a 12 guage though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Gwen Moore the mother of one of those felons who slashed the tires of the GOP voter registrars in Milwaukee in 2004?

In the eyes of some on FR, I guess he is the second most important member of the House after Tancredo.

Bloody libel, right there.

The current 25 total co-sponsors are Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI), Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA), Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA), Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Rep. James Oberstar (D-MN), Rep. Major Owens (D-NY), Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA), Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA).

Pretty much who I expected. Baghdad Jim McDermott. Commie McKinney. "Whiff of fascism" Nadler. The usual liberal suspects, including much (if not all) of Manhattan's congressional delegation.

Yeah, impeachment really worked for the Republicans. How many seats did they lose in 1998?

"If the Democratic Party is able to retake the US House of Representatives, Rep. Conyers would become Chairman Conyers of the House Judiciary."

I see the GOP has already started the fund-raising campaigns. OK, where do you want me to send the money?

John Conyer's wife gets into bar fights with other women. A nice bunch to start an impeachment with. Go for it! We pay them to entertain us. I'll bet that Jefferson guy that used the Coast Guard to get his freezer full of loot in LA during the flood is in on this.
