Kucinich Starts New Impeachment Drive (against Bush on Jan. 28 {SOTU} )
Source: NY Times
Representative Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio may get excluded from Democratic presidential debates, as he has been recently, but no one can deny him the floor in the House.
And today Mr. Kucinich took to the floor to fire off his latest salvo at the Bush administration: his plans to introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Bush on Jan. 28 — the day of Mr. Bush’s State of the Union speech.
Accusing the administration of lying about the need for the war in Iraq, Mr. Kucinich said he did not need to hear the president’s
assessment. “We know the State of the Union,†he declared. “It’s a lie.â€
He also fired a volley at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California
who has maintained that impeaching Mr. Bush is not on the table for Congressional Democrats. “If impeachment is off the table,†Mr. Kucinich said, “truth is off the table. If truth is off the table
then this body is living a lie.â€
Mr. Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice
President Dick Cheney last April and in November, with the surprise help of Republicans seeking to embarrass the Democrats, he nearly succeeded in securing an hour of debate on the House floor. House Democratic leaders blocked that, however, by referring the impeachment effort back to the Judiciary Committee.

7. Excellent. He should do it DURING the joint session!
It is a privileged resolution
anybody know if members can be heard by the chair during the SOTU session?
is it unprecedented?
Oh yeah...............that's gonna happen. Actually I wish that would happen.
