[Radio Host Peter B.] Collins asked [NY Rep. Maurice] Hinchey “what is your posture on impeachment of Vice President Cheney?”<\/p>\n

Hinchey, who is not one of the 15 current co-sponsors of Dennis Kucinich’s HR 333, calling for the Impeachment of Dick Cheney, laughed and said “I think that this administration — both the President and the Vice-President — are the most impeachable in the history of our country.”<\/p>\n

He went on to add that both Bush and Cheney “have engaged in activities that have not only made them impeachable, but they have engaged in activities that have violated, in a criminal way, very important federal laws”<\/p>\n

When asked what might be done to encourage House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to put Impeachment “back on the table,” Hinchey replied that he felt it already was, but that Pelosi “doesn’t have the votes to do it.” He added that the problem is more acute in the Senate, where the Democrats have only “the majority of one single vote.”<\/p>\n

It should be noted, however, that the Senate has nothing to do with an Impeachment vote. That is the sole Constitutional purview of the House of Representatives. A vote in the Senate only comes into play after a vote to Impeach by the House, and then a complete trial in the Senate where evidence can be presented and witnesses, such as Bush and Cheney, can be placed on the stand, under oath.<\/p>\n
