Failed presidential contender Dennis Kucinich introduces House resolution to impeach President Bush

Failed Democratic presidential contender Dennis Kucinich introduced on Monday a House resolution to impeach President Bush. Forbes:
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential contender, said Monday he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi consistently has said impeachment was "off the table."

Kucinich, D-Ohio, read his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. He contended Bush deceived the nation and violated his oath of office in leading the country into the
Iraq war.

Kucinich introduced a resolution last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. That resolution was killed, but only after Republicans initially voted in favor of taking up the measure to force a debate.

Kucinich won 50 percent of the vote in a five-way House Democratic primary in March, beating back critics who said he ignored business at home to travel the country in his quest to be president.
This stunt is sure to drive Congress' approval ratings even lower.

Who said this was a do-nothing congress?
