HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of
3 the United States House of Representatives allows federal
4 impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of
5 a state legislature; and
6 WHEREAS, President Bush has publicly admitted to ordering
7 the National Security Agency to violate provisions of the 1978
8 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a felony, specifically
9 authorizing the Agency to spy on American citizens without
10 warrant; and
11 WHEREAS, Evidence suggests that President Bush authorized
12 violation of the Torture Convention of the Geneva Conventions,
13 a treaty regarded a supreme law by the United States
14 Constitution; and
15 WHEREAS, The Bush Administration has held American
16 citizens and citizens of other nations as prisoners of war
17 without charge or trial; and
18 WHEREAS, Evidence suggests that the Bush Administration
19 has manipulated intelligence for the purpose of initiating a
20 war against the sovereign nation of Iraq, resulting in the
21 deaths of large numbers of Iraqi civilians and causing the
22 United States to incur loss of life, diminished security and
23 billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses; and
24 WHEREAS, The Bush Administration leaked classified
25 national secrets to further a political agenda, exposing an
26 unknown number of covert U. S. intelligence agents to potential

29 WHEREAS, The Republican-controlled Congress has declined
HJ0125 - 2 - LRB094 20306 RLC 58347 r
1 to fully investigate these charges to date; therefore, be it
2 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
3 NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE
4 SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the General Assembly of the
5 State of Illinois has good cause to submit charges to the U. S.
6 House of Representatives under Section 603 that the President
7 of the United States has willfully violated his Oath of Office
8 to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
9 States; and be it further
10 RESOLVED, That George W. Bush, if found guilty of the
11 charges contained herein, should be removed from office and
12 disqualified to hold any other office in the United States.

Won't happen. It's too good to be true. The administration or the Republican-controlled senate will make this disappear.
Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

And then the press, and the meek couch-sitter populace, will roll over and go back to sleep.

Utterly nonsensical and pointless. There is no case here, as Bush did nothing illegal. Not one of those so called charges is legitimate OR impeachable. He was well w/ in his power, there was no Geneva rules violated, the Valerie Plame case? ( HA! Even Scooter Libby isn't being charged for that! ) and there's not one damn bit of evidence suggesting there was any cooked intel. It's just another pointless waste of the public's time, $ and trust in their elected officials.
A sad and petty political stunt during a time when real events are occuring in the world. These clowns aren't even fit to hold seats on their local city councils.

Quote:Yeah, it seems pretty transparent. It will never pass the House Judiciary Committee, assuming it even passes Illinois legislation, and my guess is that is exactly what the authors expect to happen.
