Rep. Kucinich: It's Time for Congress to Impeach Cheney

November 1, 2007 (LPAC)-- "We have to stop planning for war against Iran," Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said in response to a question on the latest sanctions levied against Iran, posed to him during the October 30th Democratic candidates debate at Drexel University in Philadelphia. "We have to insist that we enforce the Constitution of the United States, which this President continues to violate, and, again, I state that the President and Vice President should be subject to impeachment."

Later in the debate, Kucinich brought up the impeachment question again saying, "I will say it one more time. It's time for the Democratic Party to take a position on impeachment, and for the House of Representatives to move the bill that I've introduced." Kucinich's bill is HRes 333, which has over 20 co-sponsors so far.

On October 23, in a conference call set up by the Progressive Democrats of America, Rep. Kucinich announced he will go before the House of Representatives sometime before Thanksgiving, on a point of personal privilege, to move the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.
