Mr. Speaker:

For the last two years I have struggled with the issue of whether the House should consider impeachment of a sitting President.

Next to declaring war, impeachment is the gravest matter the House of Representatives must consider. I fully understand the gut-wrenching consequences such a national debate could precipitate. Yet, there is one fact we cannot overlook or escape.

American cannot regain its moral leadership in the world if America cannot hold its leaders accountable for their actions at home.

The allegations that would warrant impeachment keep growing.

They have been illuminated in many recent books including The Way of the World by Ron Suskind, the book by Vincent Bugliosi, and the new book by Bob Woodward, The War Within.
None of which have much bearing in reality - and definately not admissable to any fair court.
Over five years ago, I tried to place an asterisk in the Congressional Record next to the statements about Iraq the President made to Congress. I was attacked for saying the President would mislead us into the war, but the American people ultimately learned the truth.
You're right - several Investigations have shown that the President did *NOT* mislead the nation. I guess the truth you're talking about is that your an idiot.
There seems to be no end to the allegations and we have a responsibility to investigate their authenticity. That's why I am signing onto a resolution to consider impeachment of the President.
Don't mind poor Jim. He has a hard time counting past 1 - never mind the number of 'investigations' which have been done into the lead-up to the war in Iraq.
Without accountability, a Democracy will fail.
Does this mean that your going to resign Jim?
Thank you.
