Kucinich: 'Imperial' vice president needs to be impeached

Published: Monday July 9, 2007


Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, continued to stress his case for impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney, saying his role in pushing the false case for war is akin to a high crime against the constitution.

"To me it's about the constitution, it's not about the personality," Kucinich said Monday morning on Joe Scarborough's MSNBC show. "And the constitution requires the highest office holders to have the highest standards and obedience to the law, and I think serious questions have been raised, which is why I introduced the resolution."

Kucinich predicted more members of Congress would join his impeachment push after a poll showed last week that a majority of Americans support the vice president's impeachment, as RAW STORY previously reported.

"There's kind of an imperial vice presidency that's moved in," he said. "And I think that congress has to move forward to use the remedies that our founders set forth in the early debates about making those that hold the highest offices accountable."

1. Walking the walk

"But there are, believe it or not, some things more important than holding public office. And what's important is that when it comes your turn to make the decision, you stand up, you don't relent, and you--in the words of "Prometheus Unbound" by Shelley--you defy power which seems omnipotent. And that is what it means to be joyous and free. If you are going to want to be a torchbearer for the freedom of the people, you have to be free yourself." Dennis Kucinich.
