Rules Committee Recommends Impeachment of Bush and CheneyKen Werner, Trinity Plaza Tenants Association (TPTA)byline‚ Feb. 21‚ 2006Correction: In the previous articles I noted that Supervisor Chris Daly’s proposed Resolution to Investigate/Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney would follow the 30-day rule before it could be heard in committee. My apologies for the confusion. On Thursday, February 16, the Rules Committee heard testimony and recommended and voted to send the proposed resolution to the full board for a vote, but not without controversy. Rules Chair Ross Mirkarimi has already spoken for impeachment on more than one occasion; and Tom Ammiano has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration. It was the conservative Sean Elsbernd who voted against the resolution thereby in effect choosing to take the side of the President and Vice President. |
