Lower Hudson Online — Since when do local citizens have “no authority” to criticize the country’s leadership?
A group of residents is lobbying the Nyack village board to join dozens of municipalities around the nation and adopt a resolution calling on Congress to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Group members say the administration lied about pre-war intelligence in Iraq, violated the Geneva Conventions and U.S. laws on prisoner torture, and violated citizens’ constitutional rights in various ways.
Nyack Republican Party Chairman Joseph Brady-Amoon has said the village board has no authority on the matter.
We beg to differ. While a village board can’t institute impeachment hearings, it most certainly can call for such action. The question is whether it should bother, not whether it can.(More)
I agree, lets impeach him. He is the worst president in the history of this great country. He has done irreperable damage to the honor and standing in the international community of this country. Both him and Cheney have used their positions to help no one but themselves and their friends at a huge cost to the rest of the nation. He continues to place unqualified Bush loyalists into positions of power, such as head of FEMA just to mention one of many. This has cost America the trust of it’s allies, lives of it’s citizens both military and civilian and trillions of dollars. And during all this has made President Bush and Vice President Cheney along with their buddies welthy.
