Call for Bush-Cheney impeachement Press
TV Former Sen. McGovern has urged impeachment of Bush and his second-in-command, saying it is the rightful course for an American patriot. In an article which appeared in Sunday's Washington Post, the former democrat mentioned countless cases of impeachable misconduct by President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. "They have repeatedly violated the constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world," read the article.
"These are truly 'high crimes and misdemeanors' to use the constitutional standard," the opinion piece noted. "But we must still urge Congress to act. Impeachment, quite simply, is the procedure written into the constitution to deal with presidents who violate the constitution and the laws of the land. It is also a way to signal to the American people and the world that some of us feel strongly enough about the present drift of our country to support the impeachment of the false prophets who have led us astray."
