Vermont Rejects Resolution Calling for Congress to Impeach Bush & Cheney
Pro-Impeachment activists disappointed:
MONTPELIER — Hundreds of people swarmed the State House to lobby lawmakers yesterday as the House debated and ultimately rejected a nonbinding resolution on whether Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Lawmakers voted 87 to 60 against the resolution, following the lead of House Speaker Gaye Symington, who said that she opposed the Bush administration but that she believed impeachment would be an unnecessary distraction.
Some of the advocates who flooded into the State House for the day were alternately disappointed at losing but thrilled at prompting the discussion.
100’s of liberal pro-impeachment, anti-war activists ? Think of the money that could have been made selling air-freshner, deodorant and some soap.
