Arcata City Council calls for Bush impeachment

By Kimberly Wear / Eureka Times-Standard

ARCATA -- A split City Council passed a resolution demanding the
impeachment or resignation of President Bush and Vice President *****
Cheney, citing violations of international and constitutional law.

The White House responded that the president "remains focused on the
business the American people elected him to conduct."

The resolution lists a series of allegedly impeachable offenses,
including "the crime of misleading the American people and Congress into
waging an unnecessary and brutal war in Iraq," "the criminal failure of
the president to respond adequately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster,"
"torturing human beings in violation of the Geneva Convention" and
"ordering the secret surveillance of American citizens."

Councilman Dave Meserve and Councilwoman Harmony Groves penned the
resolution that passed 3-2 Wednesday, joined by Councilman Paul Pitino,
with Mayor Michael Machi and Councilman Mark Wheetley dissenting.

"All elected officials swear to uphold and defend the Constitution
against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Meserve said. "This obligates
us to act when the president violates the Constitution. We hope that
other cities will join us in demanding the impeachment of Bush and
Cheney."

White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said Bush understands that there are
people who "oppose the president's efforts to win the war on terror."

"How those opposed to those efforts choose to express that opposition is
up to each individual -- in this case a city council," he said. "This
president recognizes he has a responsibility and the constitutional
authority to protect our country and that's what he will continue to do."

The resolution also asks that Congressman Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena,
join with others in Congress to introduce articles of impeachment against
Bush. That would make him the third president to face the proceeding.

The first was President Andrew Johnson and the second -- more than 100
years later -- was President Bill Clinton. Both were acquitted. President
Richard Nixon resigned rather than face impeachment.

Impeachment is a two-tier process beginning with a formal accusation, or
the impeachment, being brought by the House of Representatives with a
majority vote. Then, there is a trial by the Senate -- a conviction
requires a two-thirds vote.

Copies of the Arcata resolution are being sent to Thompson, Sens. Dianne
Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Cool. Maybe the news will spread....................unless, Fox Fake
News can come up with a missing woman or a carrot.

Or just perhaps the dumbocrap liberals might just read a little history.
Using past war time Presidents actions as exampless any attempt to impeach
Bush has as much chance as a snowball in hell. One democratic President,
Roosevelt placed American citizens in detention camps

and held them their for years until the end of WW2,without warrants or
trials. He justified this by saying these people were security risks. A
much worse attack on civil liberties then Bush has ever attempted and the
fact is, no attempt was ever made to impeach Roosevelt.
Every {resident this country has ever had has had a fight with congress
over the constitutional use of Presidentiaal authority.
You silly freaking liberals can't win elections, so you attempt to regain
power with trumped up charges and cries for impeachment..

As a lifelong resident of Arcata, I am proud that my city sometimes
speaks out on national/world issues. True democratic reform always
starts from the ground up by a few dedicated people. Would be nice if
Arcata's actions started a nation-wide movement of other cities doing a
similiar resolution. Probably won't happen though.
