Kucinich working on ‘renewed efforts’ for Cheney impeachment

RAWSTORY — With his resolution calling for the ouster of Dick Cheney, Rep. Dennis Kuchinich on Wednesday announced renewed efforts to impeach the vice president.

The Ohio Democrat said his resolution calling for Cheney’s impeachment now has eight co-sponsors. Kucinich appeared with Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., Wednesday at a press conference announcing the stepped-up efforts.

“Now since we gathered over a month ago, the Vice President has continued along the path of conduct that led me to file the articles of Impeachment,” Kucinich said, according to a transcript of his remarks.

“I believe this is another milestone,” Kucinich said. “With the support of the leaders of the Progressive Caucus and the leader of the Out of Iraq Caucus we will see more and more Members of Congress signing on in this effort to save our Constitution and protect the very values that bind us as a nation.” (More)
