Congressman Danny Davis (D-IL), says that he firmly believes <\/a>that President George Bush has committed serious impeachable crimes and abuses of power, but says that “at this time” he supports a decision by the House Democratic Caucus to put impeachment aside in the interest of helping to elect a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president in 2008.<\/p>\n

Although in late 2005, Rep. Davis was an enthusiastic co-sponsor of a bill by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) that called for an investigation into possible impeachable acts by the president, Davis now says, “The Democratic Caucus has decided that impeachment would not be in the best interests of the country and I’m following that decision.”<\/p>\n

At the same time, Rep. Davis, a former Chicago alderman, declares that his basic instinct is to follow the wishes of his constituents. “When I got elected to city council, I set up what I called the 29th Ward People’s Assembly. My pledge then was that on any issue of public policy, I would follow their position. If the group decided on a direction, I had to take it. And that approach has not changed.”\u00c2\u00a0 Davis insists that if the people of his congressional district were to make it clear, through a letter-writing campaign or a petition campaign<\/a> or some other means, that they felt impeachment were a priority for them, he would feel bound to act on their views.<\/p>\n
