House Resolution 799
Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
November 6, 2007
Mr. (Dennis) KUCINICH (D-OH) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary
Resolution
Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate...
Article I
In his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional
oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive
the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to
justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our
national security interests...
The Vice President subverted the national security interests of the United States by setting the stage for the
loss of more than 3,800 United States service members; the loss of more than 1 million innocent Iraqi citizens
since the United States invasion; the loss of approximately $500 billion in war costs which has increased our
Federal debt; the loss of military readiness within the United States Armed Services due to overextension, lack
of training and lack of equipment; the loss of United States credibility in world affairs; and the decades of likely
blowback created by the invasion of Iraq.
In all of this, Vice President Richard B. Cheney has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as Vice President ,
and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and the manifest
injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, by such conduct, is
guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office.
Article II
In his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional
oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed, purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the
citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda in order
to justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our
national security interests...
Article III
In his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional
oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran
absent any real threat to the United States, and done so with the United States proven capability to carry out
such threats, thus undermining the national security of the United States...
The Vice President's deception upon the citizens and Congress of the United States that enabled the failed
United States invasion of Iraq forcibly altered the rules of diplomacy such that the Vice President's recent
belligerent actions towards Iran are destabilizing and counterproductive to the national security of the United
States.
In all of this, Vice President Richard B. Cheney has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as Vice President ,
and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and the manifest
injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Richard B. Cheney, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
