At 9:00 a.m. ET on Monday, May 1, "Mission Accomplished Day," in Room 235 of the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., Ellen Tenney of Rockingham, Vermont, will present the Speaker of the House with petitions from three towns in Vermont calling for the impeachment of President Bush. The towns each passed resolutions to send the petitions.
These are the first of many petitions from towns, cities, and possibly states across the nation that will be arriving at Congress's door. They are presented under the guidelines of Jefferson's Manual, Section 603 [1], and will be referred to a House Committee, probably the Judiciary, for consideration.
Similar resolutions have now been passed by at least 13 cities and towns, and have been introduced in three state legislatures, with more expected this week.
Information on this procedure and a list of cities and states where resolutions have been introduced or passed can be found at:
