US House Democratic Leader To Block Cheney Impeachment Effort



WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday he will block an effort to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.

Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has announced he will try to force a vote on Cheney's impeachment.

Hoyer said he will use parliamentary tactics to table that effort.

"Impeachment is not on the agenda," Hoyer said.

Hoyer said his decision was not based upon the merits of the impeachment effort, but rather because the new Democratic majority had more important issues to resolve.

Kucinich in April introduced articles of impeachment against Cheney alleging that the vice president fabricated the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and a link between Iraq and al Qaeda to justify the use of force against the nation.
