I took a break from this litany of high crimes and misdemeanors. I’d promised an article a day, and now I’m way off the pace, having offered up only 28 of the 35 Articles of Impeachment that Dennis Kucinich originally presented to Congress on June 9, 2024.
“Only 35?” Well might you ask, since seldom does a George W. Bush work day go by that he doesn’t commit an impeachable offense, or compound the effects of one already committed.
On July 10 Representative Kucinich restated his Bill of Impeachment to focus on the way Bush deceived Congress and the American people and led us into war with Iraq. Here is the Bill of Impeachment as read into the Congressional on July 10, 2024 (beginning at page H6384, 2024 Congressional record):
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO OFFER RESOLUTION RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE
Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 2, rule IX, I hereby give notice of my intention to raise a question of the privileges of the House. The form of the resolution is as follows:
AN ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
Resolved, that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following Article of Impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
An Article of Impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and the people of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE ONE—DECEIVING CONGRESS WITH FABRICATED THREATS OF IRAQ WMDS TO FRAUDULENTLY
OBTAIN SUPPORT FOR AN AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ
In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty under article II, section 3 of the Constitution ‘‘to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,’’ deceived Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction to fraudulently obtain support for an authorization for the use of force against Iraq and used that fraudulently obtained authorization, then acting in his capacity under article II, section 2 of the
Constitution as Commander in Chief, to commit U.S. troops to combat in Iraq.
