WHEREAS, George Bush and Dick Cheney have badly bungled the war on terror. We agree with Patrick Buchanan, Ron Paul, and CIA bin Laden Station Chief Michael Scheuer that Al Qaeda and bin Laden were delighted that the U.S invaded Iraq.

We Americans hail from all parts of the political spectrum, and disagree heartily on many issues. We agree that while we hold many views on why Dick Cheney and George Bush must be impeached, impeached they must be. This will be followed by a caretaker presidency led by a Republican, for the interim, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of the U.S. Senate. We agree with Republican Bruce Fein that "The constitutional grievances against the White House are chilling, reminiscent of the kingly abuses that provoked the Declaration of Independence." We agree with Representative Dana Rohrabacher that "George Bush was elected president, not king."

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENERAL COURT submits that the actions and admissions of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney constitute ample grounds for their impeachment, and that the House of Representatives of the General Court has good cause for submitting charges to the U.S. House of Representatives under Section 603, as grounds for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney.

In all of this, President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney have acted in a manner contrary to their trust as President and Vice-President, subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the State of ________ and of the United States.

WHEREFORE, President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney, by such conduct, warrant impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any offices of honor, trust or profit under the United States.

Be it resolved further by the legislature of the State of ______, that our senators and representatives in the United States Congress be, and they are hereby, requested to cause to be instituted in the Congress of the United States proper proceedings for the investigation of the activities of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney, to the end that they may be impeached and removed from such office.

Be it resolved further, that the Secretary of State of the State of ________ be, and is hereby, instructed to certify to each Senator and Representative in the Congress of the United States, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, under the great seal of the State of ________, a copy of this resolution and its adoption by the legislature of the State of _________. The copies shall be marked with the word "Petition" at the top of the document and contain the original authorizing signature of the Secretary of State.
