Should Congress Go Into Special Session For Impeachment Hearings?

By Lance Ciepiela

Should Congress be called into Special Session for Impeachment Hearings?

::::::::

Congress went home for their August recess but they left town without letting the American people witness impeachment hearings exposing the alleged high crimes and misdemeanors of the Bush administration.

39 Articles of Impeachment are pending in the House Judiciary Committee, H.Res. 333-3, H.Res. 1258-35, and H.Res. 1345-1, presented to Congress by Rep Dennis Kucinich, and each and every Article is "privileged", which, according to Jefferson's House Rules, requires immediate action by the full House over and above all other business, including a scheduled recess in August.

By going into Special Session, Congress would have ample time in August for impeachment hearings and voting on each and every Article of Impeachment, rather than coming back in September and announcing they have no time for impeachment hearings.

NO, Congress should not be called into Special Session for impeachment hearings 

YES, Congress should be called into Special Session for impeachment hearings

Lance Ciepiela is a retired senior who had an interesting career in government service - a United States Marine Corps (USMC) Vietnam-Era veteran, who became interested in restoring the Constitution after I realized that W Bush had attacked Iraq on false pretense and got away with it. First thing I asked myself on 9/11 as the two planes smashed into the Twin Towers was - "where are the interceptors"? - this could not have been a terrorist attack with NORAD nowhere in sight to defend our skies not even at the Pentagon. My hope (Hope is a Great Source of Strength - Simon Murray) for restoring the Constitution is that Congress, the White House, and Justice Department, will get back to the "rule of law" by bringing W Bush to justice under our laws and treaties - and every Representative and Senator in Congress, and the President, would finally arrive at the "third stage" of accepting the truth about 9/11 = "knew it all along", was preset explosives and precisely timed demolitions going off in all three towers and was not the office fires or the two planes that brought the three towers down like the officials said.
