Bush Impeachment - The Illinois State Legislature is Preparing to Drop a B

[yasmina27]

The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation. Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of Illinois' 7th District is about to shatter that perception forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125 (hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born.

4. What I wanna know is, where's that little blue state, Rhode Island ??

Way to Go Illinois!!!

Since Rhode Island tops the list with 74% disapproving of the "job" the urinary⁽¹⁾ authoritarian executive is doing on the country, the RI General Assembly could be very responsive if pressured to exercise their right under Section 603 of the United States House Rules and initiate impeachment proceedings by transmitting charges to Congress in a joint resolution.

I know Carl Sheeler has called on members to take action, but haven't heard about specific efforts.

There are about 600,000 registered voters, which sounds a bit more manageable than the 7 million or so there are in Illinois!

7. I tried a search

and nothing came up. Oh, well, sorry!

To be honest though, I rarely look in the editorial board, and imagine that there are others who do the same. I think this is important enough to be here, where more people frequent.

kick for Sunday AM!
