about procedure.
September 24, 1998: The House Judiciary Committee announces the committee will consider a resolution to begin an impeachment inquiry against President Clinton in an open session on October 5 or October 6.
October 5, 1998: On a 21-16 vote, the House Judiciary Committee recommends a full impeachment inquiry.
October 8, 1998: The House of Representatives authorizes a wide-ranging impeachment inquiry of President Clinton on a 258-176 vote. Thirty-one Democrats join Republicans in supporting the investigation.
December 11, 1998: The House Judiciary Committee approves three articles of impeachment, alleging that President Clinton committed perjury and obstruction of justice. The action comes despite another apology from Clinton.
December 12, 1998: The House Judiciary Committee approves a fourth and final article of impeachment against President Clinton, accusing him of making false statements in his answers to written questions from Congress. A Democratic proposal to censure Clinton instead goes down to defeat.
From the announcement to the impeachment (24 Sep to 12 December), we have about
12 weeks.
For Cheney, the House has HR 333 already on books. If Nancy got on the impeachment table, we'd be at the Judiciary Committee announcing the impeachment inquiry is to begin.
For *, he's already admitted that he has wiretapped and broke FISA laws. He continues to break laws with signing statements and he continues to give countless examples of breaking separation of powers. He lied us into war about Iraq. Et cetera. Et cetera.
The case against both */Cheney has been made and if the Democratic leadership had a ball between them, you could move towards articles of impeachment just as fast in this Democratically-controlled House.http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/history/johnson/clintontimeline.htm
