Rep. Dennis Kucinich says he is so concerned
about what he sees as the Bush administration’s
push for a war with Iran that he is considering
using a parliamentary measure to force the
House of Representatives to vote on impeaching
Vice President Dick Cheney.
“We’re preparing for another war,
and they’re going to destroy America,”
he said Thursday on the Ed Schultz show.
“We have a government in place right now
that has to be challenged.
I’m seriously thinking about calling
a privileged resolution on impeachment
of the vice president and forcing a vote
on the floor of the House.”
A privileged resolution would force the full
House to debate about whether to proceed
with impeachment, but it remains unclear
precisely how, when or whether Kucinich
would be able to introduce such a resolution.
