US towns seek Bush's impeachment

Some 30 towns in Vermont have passed resolutions urging Congress to impeach President George Bush during the US state's annual Town Meeting Day.

The resolutions over Iraq are symbolic, but "may help instigate further discussions in the legislature", said state representative David Zuckerman.

Town Meeting Day is a colonial-era tradition when citizens debate issues of the day both major and minor.

It goes back to the Civil War era, when several towns voted to abolish slavery, reports the Boston Globe newspaper.
