Yesterday's resolution was sponsored by Councilwoman Monica Conyers. She's the wife of Congressman John Conyers, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee where any impeachment proceedings would start.
But the Michigan Democrat has said that he doesn't intend to move forward with any impeachment effort.
The resolution has no official weight. It says Bush and Cheney conspired to defraud the country by misleading lawmakers and the public about Iraq to justify going to war.

WCAX-TV reports:
Vermont's Progressive Party unanimously endorsed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush Saturday.
Fifty party members turned out in Montpelier for the Progressive's quarterly meeting. They unanimously endorsed a resolution calling on Democratic Congressman Peter Welch to initiate impeachment proceedings of the President and Vice President. It's similar to the impeachment resolutions approved at 35 town meetings in March and in the Vermont Senate two weeks ago. But Welch has steadfastly opposed the request.
"I don't think the Progressive Party is trying to get Congressman Welch to do or not do anything in particular," said the Progressive Party's Martha Abbott. "I think we are trying to express the views from the grassroots of people about this issue, you know, to the world in general, to the country in general."
For now, Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio remains the only member of Congress who has introduced a bill calling for impeachment.

The Massachusetts Democratic Party passed a resolution calling for action by their congressional representatives consistent with the US Constitution as described in the Jefferson Manual LIII, Section 604 (resolutions that call for impeachment, or call for an investigations that suggests impeachment are considered "privileged" and must be addressed before other business).
The resolution text reads:
Resolution to Impeach
George W. Bush & Richard B. Cheney
Whereas George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have:
Deliberately misled the nation about the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war;
Condoned the torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention & US law;
Approved illegal electronic surveillance of American citizens without a warrant; and,
Whereas these actions have undermined our constitutional system of government, damaged the reputation of America, and threatened our national security,
Therefore, the voters of the Massachusetts Democratic Convention call upon the Massachusetts delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate these charges and if the investigation supports the charges, vote to impeach George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney as provided in the Constitution of the United States of America.
We, the undersigned delegates, place this resolution before the Massachusetts Democratic Convention on May 19, 2007.
In addition, David Agnew reports passage on a voice vote of a resolution that the Massachusetts Democratic Party urges its Senators and Congressmen in Washington to support vigorously the enactment as soon as possible of HR 1234 and to emphasize in so doing the utter immorality of allowing US troops and innocent Iraqis to die and be maimed in a war that is harming rather than enhancing US national security and honor.
HR 1234, introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, calls for:
1. The US announces it will end the occupation, close military bases and withdraw.
2. US announces that it will use existing funds to bring the troops and necessary equipment home.
3. Order a simultaneous return of all US contractors to the United States and turn over all contracting work to the Iraqi government.
4. Convene a regional conference for the purpose of developing a security and stabilization force for Iraq.
5. Prepare an international security and peacekeeping force to move in, replacing US troops who then return home.
6. Develop and fund a process of national reconciliation.
7. Reconstruction and Jobs.
8. Reparations.
9. Political Sovereignty.
10. Iraq Economy.
11. Economic Sovereignty.
12. International Truth and Reconciliation

Ann Marie Ames of the Gazette staff reports from Sharon, WI:
The Walworth County Democratic Party has once again unanimously voted to impeach President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
At a meeting in Sharon Thursday night, the 200-member group voted to recommend "prompt commencement" of impeachment proceedings by the United State House of Representatives.
Party chairman Mark Pienkos will forward the party's decision to the offices of Wisconsin senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold, as well as house representatives.
The party's concerns have been ongoing, said board member Bob Burrows. The Walworth County Democrats made a similar unanimous decision in January 2006.
The party is one of hundreds of organizations and municipalities across the country making similar recommendations, Burrows said.
"All over the country there are so many organizations taking up this call," Burrows said. "People are really sitting up and paying attention."
