Resolution to Impeach Richard B. Cheney.

Whereas, elected officials take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic;

WHEREAS, Evidence in the public domain alone has led us to reasonably suspect that Richard B. Cheney conspired with others to defraud the United States of America by intentionally misleading Congress and the public regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371; and

WHEREAS, Recent proclamations and actions have led us to reasonably suspect that Richard B.

WHEREAS, Richard B.

WHEREAS, Richard B. Cheney acted to strip American citizens of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinite detention without access to legal counsel, without charge and without the opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the President of a U.S. citizen as an "enemy combatant", all in subversion of law; and
