Missouri & Texas Introduce Impeachment Bills

TEXAS:
Yellow Rose Peace Bus — “Texas State Representative Lon Burnam introduced HCR. No. 154: Submitting charges to the United States House of Representatives constituting proof that the president of the United States has violated his oath of office.”

MISSOURI:
Rep. Nasheed, Jamilah sponsored and Rep. Jeanette Mott Oxford cosponsored a bill calling for the impeachment of George Bush.

These bills have been introduced in accordance with the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives, which allows for States to initiate the impeachment process through the Jefferson Manual. Once passed through the State’s congress, our U.S. Congress will be compelled to consider impeachment.

Jefferson’s Manual is a sort of interpretive guide to parliamentary procedure, and is included (along with the Constitution) in the bound volumes of the Rules of the House of Representatives. It is ratified by each congress (including the current one), and has been updated continuously through the history of our democracy.

Within the Manual itself, the section covering impeachment is designated Section LIII. Section 603 refers to the section of the entire volume (including the Constitution and Rules) in which you’ll find the listing of acceptable vehicles for bringing impeachment motions to the floor. It reads:

"In the House of Representatives there are various methods of setting an impeachment in motion: by charges made on the floor on the responsibility of a Member or Delegate (II, 1303; III, 2342, 2400, 2469; VI, 525, 526, 528, 535, 536);by charges preferred by a memorial, which is usually referred to a committee for examination (III, 2364, 2491, 2494, 2496, 2499, 2515; VI, 552); or by a resolution dropped in the hopper by a Member and referred to a committee (April 15, 1970, p. 11941-2); by a message from the President (III, 2294, 2319; VI, 498); by charges transmitted from the legislature of a State (III, 2469) or Territory (III, 2487) or from a grand jury (III, 2488); or from facts developed and reported by an investigating committee of the House (III, 2399, 2444)."

  1. How do I send pictures from our actions in Kansas City? I sent some in already but they are not posted here.

  2. I want to know about follow up for these states. There seems to be no entity keeping track of where these bills are in the state legislatures. so far they just hang out in committee and nothing is happening with them and this is very discouraging. My own state’s bill is sitting in committee and I have been told will not get out and therefore is defunct. I find it disgusting that no politcal people have the guts to stand up agains this fascist dictatorship being created by the Bush administration. Very sad indeed. How can I follow up on Missouri and Texas?

  3. I helped get this resolution filed in Missouri by emailing Jamilah Nasheed a draft resolution and urging her to file. We can get this going in all the states with a little moxy!
