A directly proportional movement is in the offing. After movement for musharraf impeachment, now there is move for Bush impeachment.
On June 9, 2008, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who was one of the early hopefuls for the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States in the November 2004 election but later dropped out of the race, gave official notice of his intention to file 35 articles of impeachment against Republican Party President George W. Bush to the US House of Representatives.
On June 10, 2008, as Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler joined Kucinich as co-sponsor of the resolution, Kucinich officially introduced his resolution to the House. The House Clerk took just under four hours to read the resolution into the record. As soon as the House Clerk finished reading the resolution in the early morning of June 11, Kucinich himself moved to refer the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee.
On June 11, 2008, the 435-member House of Representatives voted 251 to 166 (18 members did not vote) to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee.
