Takoma Park Passes Impeachment Resolution
TAKOMA PARK, Md. (AP) -- The Takoma Park city council has unanimously approved a resolution urging Congress to go forward with impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
The nonbinding resolution accuses Bush and Cheney of abuses that include misleading the nation on the war in Iraq, allowing the torture of prisoners and overstepping the powers of the executive branch. It follows similar resolutions passed in other cities and towns nationally, including Detroit and San Francisco.
All five council members present voted for the measure and Mayor Kathy Porter also expressed support.
The measure carries no legal authority, but organizers hope it will encourage Maryland's delegation in Congress to take action.
