From Myspace — On Tuesday, June 12, 2007, the Democratic Committee of Delaware County voted in favor of a resolution calling on the U.S. House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n
The resolution, introduced by committee member John Ryan of the Town of Meredith, passed by a two-to-one margin. In passing the measure, the committee emphasized that Bush and Cheney’s actions have broken U.S. law and gone against the U.S. Constitution. Bush and Cheney, the resolution notes, have deliberately misled the nation about the threat from Iraq, have condoned the use of torture, have approved illegal electronic surveillance, and have ordered indefinite detention without legal counsel. “All of these actions undermine the very principles this nation was built on,” observed Ryan. “They threaten America’s way of life and make us a weaker country.”<\/p>\n
The committee has submitted the resolution, in the form of a petition, to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi for further action. “Fortunately, the founders of the Constitution foresaw the possibility of executive misbehavior and built in a way for this country’s representatives to make sure that the president be held accountable,” said committee member Dick Stinson of the Town of Kortright. “This is essential for democracy to work for the people of our country.”<\/p>\n
