My Representative responds on possible impeachment
Advertisements [?]
My Representative, Lois Capps, has responded to a letter expressing support for initiating impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. There was no mention that this issue had been moved off the table. Instead, her response included the following:


You will be pleased to know that I am an original cosponsor of H.Res . 635, which would create a select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before Congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouragement of torture, and its retaliation against critics. Furthermore, the committee would be tasked with making recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.

...

I have also joined several colleagues in sending a letter to President Bush urging him to immediately order the Attorney General to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate reports of the NSA's secret spying on Americans, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I am also a cosponsor of H.Res. 643, which would direct the Attorney General to release to the House of Representatives all documents in his possession relating to the warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens. I agree with you that the President must demonstrate to Congress and the public that his administration's actions are consistent with the laws of the United States.
