Remember this?

NEW MEXICO CAN IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY

Senate Joint Resolution 5 (resolving to petition the U.S. House to impeach Bush and Cheney) was introduced on Jan. 23, 2007, by eight Senators. It has made it through a number of Senate committees and is headed to the full Senate floor.

It was approved by the Senate Rules Committee on February 16th. No Republicans attended the committee hearing. Every Democrat attended and voted Yes.

Sounds like a slam dunk, doesn't it?

I guess this is how it's done....

Land of Enchantment and Impeachment

By David Swanson

There is a decent chance that within the next month or two the New Mexico State Legislature will ask the U.S. House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. And there is the definite possibility that a Congress Member from New Mexico will take up the matter when it gets to Washington. The Jefferson Manual, rules used by the U.S. House, allows for impeachment to be begun in this manner. It only takes one state legislature. No governor is needed. One Congress Member, from the same state or any other, is needed to essentially acknowledge receipt of the state's petition. Then impeachment begins.
