(APN) ATLANTA – Two Democratic lawmakers will introduce censure resolutions next week concerning President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and other Bush Administration officials over the US Invasion of Iraq and other abuses of executive power, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

US Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) announced he will introduce two censure resolutions in the US House, which will serve as companions to two censure resolutions which US Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) announced he will introduce in the Senate.

"The American people have reached a breaking point with this administration and they are demanding that Congress step up and hold the president, vice president, and others in the executive branch responsible for their actions," Hinchey said in a press release obtained by APN.

"While President Bush and Vice President Cheney continue to operate as if they are leaders of a monarchy, Congress should censure them and make it clear to this and future generations that their actions are entirely unacceptable," he added.

Hinchey and Feingold’s resolutions will be the most comprehensive censure bills this year.
