NEWFANE, Vt. - In five Vermont communities, a centuries-old tradition of residents gathering in town halls to conduct local business became a vehicle to send a message to Washington: Impeach the president. An impeachment article, approved by a paper ballot 121-29 in Newfane Tuesday, calls on Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against President Bush, alleging he misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House has voted to send articles of impeachment against President Bush to a committee that is not likely to hold hearings before the end of his term. By 251-166, House members dispatched the measure to a committee on Wednesday -- a procedure often used to kill legislation.
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks. Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch.

[...] it is not for life if the judge misbehaves - or at least opponents can make a plausible argument to that effect - and Congress removes the jurist, or at least threatens to remove the judge.5 In such a case "judicial selection" might encompass the tactical use of impeachment to deselect judges. In Part I, this Article frames the phenomenon of impeachment as judicial selection as a tactic of constitutional hardball, i.e., the framework suggested by Professor Mark Tushnet for understanding how parties or movements secure rapid change between constitutional orders.6 Part I also discusses several of the prominent instances of resort to this tactic, including the Jeffersonian, Nixonian, and Christian Coalition impeachments or threats of impeachment.

PASADENA - With no deal in sight, financial markets cringing and the Tuesday deadline fast approaching, a couple of House Democrats on Wednesday again urged President Barack Obama to consider invoking an obscure 14th Amendment provision to bypass Congressional gridlock and unilaterally raise the debt ceiling.

CLEVELAND -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a vocal critic of the Bush administration's war in Iraq, plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney today. Kucinich, a Democrat who is again running for president, said Monday that he will hold a news conference in Washington to discuss his bid to oust Cheney. Kucinich spokeswoman Natalie Laber declined further comment.
Illustrating the parallel was when the Grand Jury met prior to the 2004 child molestation case against Michael Jackson to determine whether there was enough evidence against Jackson to send the case to trial. In a one-sided presentation of die "facts" in his case, it decided that there was sufficient "evidence'" to warrant a trial. Finding sufficient evidence is called an "indictment" hence he went to trial, only to be found "not guilty" of all ten charges against him. Succinctly put, what "Indictment" is to the citizen is "impeachment" to the President. In 1999, President Clinton was impeached or formally charged, but was never convicted. Subsequently, he was allowed to stay in office. Were he to be convicted, he would have been forcibly removed from office. This is what a growing numb...
