Our Plan for Impeaching Bush and Cheney

Any Member of Congress can introduce one or more Articles of Impeachment. ImpeachPAC will raise $100,000 to build a nationwide grassroots network to persuade one or more Members to introduce Articles of Impeachment immediately.

Once Articles of Impeachment are introduced, the Republican leaders of the House will decide whether or not to hold hearings on those Articles. We expect the Republican leaders to oppose such hearings, as they have opposed all investigations into the Iraq War lies. If Republicans block hearings, we will raise as much money as we can to replace anti-impeachment Republicans with pro-impeachment Democrats in both the House and Senate in the 2006 elections.

After Democratic majorities in the House and Senate are sworn into office in January 2007, we will demand the immediate and simultaneous impeachment of Bush and Cheney for their Iraq War lies.

When they are both impeached, convicted, and removed from office, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will become President.

President Pelosi will nominate a Vice President, who must be confirmed by a majority of the Senate and House. We will recommend an experienced Democrat like Bill Clinton (who is eligible for appointment as Vice President under the 22nd Amendment) or Al Gore (who served eight years as Vice President before winning the 2000 election) to assure our allies - and our enemies - that we have an experienced and capable White House.

President Pelosi will replace all Bush appointees in the White House and Cabinet in an orderly manner.

• Replace Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld with an experienced military leader (like Gen. Wesley Clark) to plan the phased withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq.
• Replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales with an experienced prosecutor (like Patrick Fitzgerald) to prosecute everyone who conspired with George Bush and Dick Cheney to take the United States to war on the basis of lies.

State/Territory Project

Under the Rules of the House of Representatives, impeachment can begin with "charges transmitted from the legislature of a state or territory."

Help us persuade the legislatures of one or more States or Territories (District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands) to adopt a Resolution to transmit impeachment charges to Congress!
