\n Impeachment<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
The following will be voted on at the NLG convention starting November 1 in Washington, DC, where Rep. John Conyers will be the keynote speaker.
\nResolution on Impeachment of Bush and Cheney
\nWhereas George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney:
\n1. deliberately misled the nation and doctored intelligence, as described in the Downing Street
\nminutes, http:\/\/www.downingstreetmemo.com\/memos.html<\/a> about the threat from Iraq in order to
\njustify a war of aggression and an occupation of Iraq, as further described in House resolution H.
\nRes. 333 http:\/\/kucinich.house.gov\/UploadedFiles\/int3.pdf
\nand as listed in House Resolution H. Res. 635
\nhttp:\/\/www.govtrack.us\/congress\/billtext.xpd?bill=hr109-635<\/a>
\n2. committed crimes against peace by initiating war against Iraq in violation of the UN Charter
\nhttp:\/\/www.worldpress.org\/specials\/iraq\/;
\n3. committed crimes against humanity in their conduct of the occupation of Iraq in which they
\nkilled hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and created millions of
\nrefugees http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/Iraq\/Story\/0,,1892888,00.html<\/a> and
\n http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2006\/WORLD\/meast\/10\/13\/iraq.main\/index.html;
\n4. killed over 3700 American soldiers and severely wounded nearly 30,000 more in the pursuit of
\nan illegal, immoral, and unjust occupation of Iraq. While Bush and Cheney have stated no
\ntruthful noble cause for the war, one of the central purposes appears to be to take control of Iraq’s
\nimmense oil reserves to financially benefit private corporate interests. See Bush’s benchmark
\nlisting fact sheet released the same day Bush announced the “surge” that expressly called on the
\nIraq parliament to “enact hydrocarbons law to promote investment . . . “
\nhttp:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/news\/releases\/2007\/01\/20070110-3.html<\/a> and
\nhttp:\/\/www.alternet.org\/waroniraq\/56672\/;
\n5. committed further crimes against peace by threatening Iran in violation of the UN Charter, as
\ndescribed in House resolution H. Res. 333 http:\/\/thomas.loc.gov\/cgibin\/query\/z?c110:H.RES.333: and http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/world\/middle_east\/6649053.stm;
\n6. detained thousands of prisoners without charges and without providing the ability to confront
\ntheir accusers at a fair trial http:\/\/thereport.amnesty.org\/eng\/Regions\/Americas\/United-States-of-America;
\n7. condoned the torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Conventions, the US anti-torture
\nstatute of 1994, the US War Crimes Act of 1996, and the oath of office
\nhttp:\/\/hrw.org\/english\/docs\/2004\/05\/24\/usint8614.htm and
\nhttp:\/\/thereport.amnesty.org\/eng\/Regions\/Americas\/United-States-of-Americ a and
\nhttp:\/\/www.boston.com\/news\/nation\/articles\/2006\/03\/24\/bush_shuns_patriot_act_requirement\/.
\nBush’s refusal to faithfully execute the laws prohibiting torture and his declaration on February 7,
\n2002 that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to prisoners in Afghanistan and in Guantanamo
\nset the stage for torture there http:\/\/hrw.org\/reports\/2004\/usa0604\/2.htm<\/a>. The Rumsfeld approved
\nGuantanamo torture techniques were then imported to Iraq in August 2003, where the
\nInternational Committee of the Red Cross found “systemic” mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners in
\nseveral facilities and where the Schlesinger Report confirmed in August 2004 that abuses were
\n“widespread” and “serious both in number and in effect,” and that there is both “institutional and
\npersonal responsibility at higher levels;”
\n8. approved at least two different illegal electronic surveillance programs of American citizens
\nwithout a warrant in violation of the fourth amendment and in violation of the Foreign
\nIntelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and repeatedly lied to the American people by stating that
\nno surveillance was taking place without a court order. The first program includes intercepting
\nphone and email conversations without warrants and was exposed by the NY Times on December
\n16, 2005 http:\/\/emoglen.law.columbia.edu\/CPC\/NYT_15cnd-program.html<\/a>. After that program
\nwas exposed Bush said the program was carefully targeted to just include international calls and
\nsuspected members of Al Qaeda. Then, the second program was exposed by USA Today on May
\n11, 2006. It provides a wholesale attack on the fourth amendment by recording call identification
\ninformation of tens of millions of purely domestic calls as well as international calls
\nhttp:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/news\/washington\/2006-05-10-nsa_x.htm;
\n9. attacked basic human rights protections in the constitution including habeas corpus, fifth
\namendment freedom from loss of life, liberty and property without due process of law, eighth
\namendment freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, and fourth amendment freedom from
\nunreasonable search and seizure;
\n10. attacked the separation of powers in an effort to consolidate power in the executive;
\n11. attacked the messenger who revealed that Bush “twisted” intelligence “to exaggerate the Iraqi
\nthreat.” Just as Nixon retaliated against former Pentagon analyst Daniel Ellsberg
\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daniel_Ellsberg<\/a>, according to papers filed in court by special
\nprosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in April 2006, there was “concerted action” by “multiple people in
\nthe White House” to “discredit, punish or seek revenge against” former Ambassador Joseph
\nWilson for his July 6, 2003 NY Times op ed piece
\nhttp:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2003\/07\/06\/opinion\/06WILS.html?ex=1372824000&en=6c6aeb1ce960dec0&ei=5007
\n that ripped the cover off of Bush’s false assertions in his 2003 state of the union
\naddress that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from Africa for building a nuclear bomb. In
\nretaliation, and to silence other would-be critics, the White House collected information about
\nWilson and disclosed to reporters that his wife, Valerie Plame, was a covert agent in the CIA
\ncounterinsurgency division, putting her life, and the lives of her contacts, at risk in violation of a
\nUS law protecting intelligence personnel (The Impeachment of George W. Bush, by Elizabeth
\nHoltzman);
\n12. as the sole person under the Federal Stafford Act with responsibility and authority to issue
\nemergency orders to mobilize the military and any federal resources needed to aid and assist in a
\ndisaster (see Failure of Initiative, February 2006 report of the House Select Bipartisan
\nCommittee to investigate the Preparations for and the Response to Hurricane Katrina
\nhttp:\/\/katrina.house.gov\/), Bush failed to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, violated
\nthe public trust, and demonstrated reckless and inexcusable indifference to human life before,
\nduring and after Hurricane Katrina. Bush knew but did not act until too late, and then he lied
\nabout it on national TV. Footage and transcripts from briefings Aug. 25-31 demonstrate that
\nBush was personally told well in advance of the “unprecedented strength” of the hurricane, the
\n“devastating damage expected,” and that “water shortages will make human suffering
\nincredible,” according to highly accurate predictions by the National Weather Service. The
\nAssociated Press reported that “in dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster
\nofficials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck
\nthat the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans’ Superdome and overwhelm
\nrescuers, according to confidential video footage,”
\n http:\/\/www.truthout.org\/cgibin\/artman\/exec\/view.cgi\/47\/18079. Yet Bush failed to muster
\nresources to evacuate residents in advance and failed to assist New Orleans residents after
\nHurricane Katrina hit. Then three days later Bush told Good Morning America, “I don’t think
\nthat anybody anticipated a breach of the levees.”
\nhttp:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wpdyn\/content\/article\/2006\/03\/02\/AR2006030202130.html
\nIn years before the storm Bush demonstrated inexcusable criminal negligence and violated the
\npublic trust by cutting the budget for hurricane defense, though the high probability of the
\nbreaching of the levees and the enormous risk to human life from a major hurricane hitting New
\nOrleans were predicted and well known for years before the hurricane hit
\nhttp:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2005\/US\/09\/03\/katrina.chertoff\/index.html;
\n13. failed to take care that the laws be faithfully executed by issuing signing statements
\nthat claim the authority to disobey laws based on the president’s own interpretation of their
\nconstitutionality, and then by taking action in violation of these laws, including the US law
\nmaking torture a crime, laws regarding Congressional oversight that require providing
\ninformation to Congress, laws regarding domestic spying, laws regarding civil liberties, and laws
\nstrengthening whistle blower protection, thereby expanding the president’s own power by
\nstepping into the legislative and judicial functions at the expense of Congress and the
\ncourts, upsetting the balance among the three branches of government, and moving us away from
\nthe rule of law toward vastly increased executive power;
\nhttp:\/\/www.boston.com\/news\/nation\/articles\/2006\/04\/30\/bush_challenges_hundreds_of_laws\/<\/a> and
\nhttp:\/\/www.boston.com\/news\/nation\/articles\/2006\/03\/24\/bush_shuns_patriot_act_requirement\/;
\n14. converted the Justice Department into an arm of the Republican Party by firing meritorious
\nfederal prosecutors who refused to base decisions on whom to prosecute on political
\nconsiderations–to help Republicans win election, an offense James Madison discussed in a
\nspeech to the Senate on June 17, 1789, in which Madison said, “The danger then consists merely in
\nthis, the president can displace from office a man whose merits require that he should be continued in it.
\nWhat will be the motives which the president can feel for such abuse of his power, and the restraints that
\noperate to prevent it? In the first place, he will be impeachable by this house, before the senate, for such
\nan act of mal-administration; for I contend that the wanton removal of meritorious officers would subject
\nhim to impeachment and removal from his own high
\ntrust.” http:\/\/www.gwu.edu\/~ffcp\/mep\/displaydoc.cfm?docid=fc11904
\nhttp:\/\/www.commondreams.org\/archive\/2007\/03\/27\/113\/print\/;
\n15. condoned criminal conduct and obstructed justice by commuting the sentence of convicted
\nperjurer Scooter Libby to keep him silent and to demonstrate that Bush and Cheney will not
\nallow high officials in the administration to be held accountable for their criminal acts;
\n16. obstructed congressional investigations of these and other acts by the administration by
\ndefying subpoenas from Senate and House committees seeking documents and testimony under
\noath by administration officials and former administration officials; and
\nWhereas the constitution requires the president to take the following oath of office: “I do
\nsolemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and
\nwill to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States;”
\nand
\nWhereas the constitution provides that the president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully
\nexecuted;” and
\nWhereas the constitution mandates that “the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of
\nthe United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of,
\nTreason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors;” and
\nWhereas impeachment was so important to our founding fathers that it is mentioned six times in
\nfive different sections of the constitution; and
\nWhereas George Mason, a primary author of the Constitution, said that impeachment was the
\nsingle most important part of the entire document. “Shall any man be above Justice? Above all
\nshall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?”
\nhttp:\/\/gunstonhall.org\/georgemason\/constitution.html<\/a> July 20, 1787; and
\nWhereas “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” is a term of art that means a serious abuse of power,
\nwhether or not it is also a crime, that endangers our constitutional system of government, or an
\nabuse of public trust. (See Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment: Report of the House
\nJudiciary Committee, 1974,
\nhttp:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wpsrv\/politics\/special\/clinton\/stories\/watergatedoc_3.htm,
\narticles by Elizabeth Holzman who served on the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment
\nhearings of Richard Nixon in 1974 http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/doc\/20060130\/holtzman; and
\nhttp:\/\/www.thenation.com\/docprint.mhtml?i=20070212&s=holtzman, and the book, The
\nImpeachment of George W. Bush, by Elizabeth Holtzman)
\nWhereas each of the above listed acts meets or exceeds that standard; and
\nWhereas impeachment is the only constitutional method to protect Americans from a president
\nintent on abusing power, violating the constitution, violating the laws, and breaching public trust;
\nand
\nWhereas Bush and Cheney threaten further crimes, including launching a war of aggression
\nagainst Iran, and whereas sufficient time remains in their term of office for them to commit those
\ncrimes so allowing either or both of them to remain in office for that remaining time will
\nfacilitate these crimes, and whereas pretexts for attacking Iran have been issued, as described by
\na former CIA Middle East field officer and current Time Magazine columnist
\nhttp:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/printout\/0,8816,1654188,00.html; and
\nWhereas failing to hold Bush and Cheney accountable not only condones their crimes but
\nfacilitates a future president committing similar or greater crimes; and
\nWhereas members of Congress swear an oath to “support and defend the constitution of the
\nUnited States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and no part of this oath permits
\nexception for partisan advantage, the next election, political expediency, whether it is distracting
\nfrom other issues, or how much time they have left in office; and
\nWhereas failure by Congress to initiate the one remedy–impeachment–provided by our
\nfounding fathers to protect the constitution from such serious abuses has put that constitution, the
\nrule of law, civil liberties, our democratic form of government, the separation of powers, the
\nlives of our men and women in uniform, and the lives of countless civilians at severe risk; and
\nWhereas citizen pressure led the Vermont State Senate and 87 cities and towns around the
\nnation to pass impeachment resolutions; and
\nWhereas a poll conducted by http:\/\/www.americanresearchgroup.com on July 5, 2007 found that
\n54% of American adults want the US House of Representatives to begin impeachment
\nproceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney while only 40% oppose, and whereas the poll
\nalso found that 45% are in favor of the same thing for President George W. Bush while 46%
\noppose; and
\nWhereas in view Congress’ ongoing complicity with the war, the torture, the lies, the warrantless
\nwiretapping, and the imprisonment without trial, and its failure to protect rights and civil
\nliberties, it is up to the people themselves to defend the constitution and our civil liberties by
\nbuilding larger grassroots movements, including a movement for impeachment;
\nTherefore be it resolved that the National Lawyers Guild calls upon the U.S. House of
\nRepresentatives to immediately initiate impeachment proceedings, to investigate the charges, and
\nif the investigation supports the charges, to vote to impeach George W. Bush and Richard B.
\nCheney as provided in the Constitution of the United States of America; and
\nBe it further resolved that the National Lawyers Guild will establish an NLG Impeachment
\nCommittee open to all members to coordinate action by the NLG in support of impeachment, to
\nwork with national and grassroots impeachment organizations, and to provide legal assistance for
\nthose efforts to strengthen the national campaign for impeachment; and
\nBe it further resolved that the NLG Impeachment Committee will help organize and coordinate
\nevents at the local, state, and national level to build public participation in the campaign to
\ninitiate impeachment investigation, impeachment, and removal of Bush and Cheney from office
\nwithout further delay; and
\nBe it further resolved that the National Lawyers Guild calls on NLG members to ask their
\nrespective member of Congress to support H. Res. 333 to impeach Cheney and to introduce or
\nsupport other impeachment resolutions; and
\nBe it further resolved that the National Lawyers Guild calls on all other state and national bar
\nassociations, state and local government bodies, community organizations, labor unions, and all
\nother citizen associations to adopt similar resolutions and to use all their resources to build the
\ncampaign demanding that Congress initiate impeachment investigation, impeach, and remove
\nBush and Cheney from office without further delay; and
\nBe it further resolved that the National Lawyers Guild will forward a copy of this resolution to
\nthe Speaker and the Clerk of the US House of Representatives, to Representative John Conyers,
\nChair of the House Judiciary Committee, to the various state and federal bar associations, to
\nother peace and justice organizations, and to the news media.
\nImplementation: By the NLG Impeachment Committee established by this resolution, by
\ninterested local chapters, and by national officers.
