Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who last night presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush to Congress, will tonight move that his impeachment resolution be referred to the Judiciary Committee, per a press release from his office.
The thirty-five articles of impeachment that the Democratic lawmaker from Ohio painstakingly read last night for several hours to the House of Representatives will be read again tonight into the Congressional record by the Clerk of the House.
After the reading ends, Kucinich “will rise and make a motion that the Impeachment Resolution be referred to committee,” said the release. Should a vote occur, further action will be postponed until Wednesday.
“It is imperative that Members of Congress have a thorough opportunity to read the Articles of Impeachment and study the documentation,” said Kucinich, in the release. “When they do, I am confident that they will agree that it is both appropriate and necessary for the Judiciary Committee to begin hearings on the Resolution.”
The reading will begin sometime after approximately 7:30 Eastern on Tuesday night.
Earlier on Tuesday, Kucinich’s office claimed that his official website had been crippled a few hours after delivering his resolution the night before. An e-mail alert distributed by his office said the circumstances surrounding the attack could “best be described as ’suspicious.’”
