Extractions: The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 4 Introduction On September 11, 1998, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr delivered an official report to the House Judiciary Committee detailing his investigation into the conduct of President William Jefferson Clinton. Following review, the committee may begin an impeachment inquiry, which, if carried to ultimate conclusion, may render the sitting President an ordinary citizen, and elevate the Vice-President to the Oval Office. Such action derives from Congress' Constitutional mandate and represents the most powerful check and balance granted to the Legislative Branch. As such, it is also the most difficult to implement, especially against the Presidency. To this date, only two Presidents have faced Articles of ImpeachmentAndrew Johnson in 1868 and Richard Nixon in 1974. In Johnson's case, the Senate's vote fell short of the neccessary two-thirds, while Nixon resigned before the House could vote on the Articles.

Extractions: The impeachment process provides a mechanism for removal of the President, Vice President, and other federal civil officers found to have engaged in "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The Constitution places the responsibility and authority to determine whether to impeach and to draft articles of impeachment in the hands of the House of Representatives. A number of means have been used to trigger the House's investigation, but the ultimate decision in all instances as to whether or not impeachment is appropriate rests with the House. Should the House vote to impeach and vote articles of impeachment specifying the grounds upon which impeachment is based, the matter is then presented to the Senate for trial.

http://gi.grolier.com/presidents/ea/side/impeach.html

Extractions: Impeachment existed in ancient Greece, in a process called the eisangelia. The modern institution did not originate until the latter part of the 14th century, in England, and it spread throughout the world. In the modern world impeachment clauses appear in the constitutions of many political systems. The English system, which began as a means of enforcing responsibility of the king's ministers to Parliament, was used heavily for 200 years beginning with the accession of James I in 1603. With the rise of the doctrine of ministerial responsibility in the 19th century, however, whereby the cabinet holds executive authority and Parliament may enter a vote of censure or no confidence, the need for the procedure receded. It was last used in England in 1806, in an unsuccessful attempt to remove Lord Melville. Impeachment in the United States Partly because of this and other ambiguities, and partly because the trial stands to tie up the Senate for a considerable length of time, impeachment has taken place infrequently at the national level. Repeated attempts in Congress to simplify impeachment or to establish a special court for the removal of judges have fallen before the enduring conviction that the present procedure, however cumbersome, is a necessary element of the system of checks and balances. By making impeachment difficult, the Constitution guards against the intrusion of the legislature into the business of the judiciary and executive branches. It also ensures that impeachment remains primarily a legal, or judicial, procedure rather than a political process.

http://gi.grolier.com/presidents/aae/side/impeach.html

Extractions: Impeachment is the first step in the process specified in the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES for removing the PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT , or other government official from office upon conviction of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has "the sole power of impeachment," that is, the power of bringing charges. The SENATE has "the sole power to try all impeachments." A two-thirds vote is required in the Senate for conviction. When the president is to be tried, the chief justice of the United States presides. A conviction in an impeachment proceeding results only in removal from office and disqualification to hold "any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States." A person convicted in an impeachment, however, is subject to further "indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to Law." Impeachment originated in England, where the House of Commons would present articles of impeachment to the House of Lords, which then tried the case. A well-known instance was the impeachment and trial (1788-95) of Warren Hastings, first governor general of India. The framers of the U. S. Constitution, although committed to a separation of powers and independence of the three branches of government from one another, believed that a means must be provided by which officers thought to be guilty of significant misconduct could be tried and removed. They did not want the procedure to be overly simple to invoke, nor the penalty too easily imposedhence, the requirements of the two-thirds vote for conviction in the Senate, and the stipulation that impeachment before "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeandors."

Extractions: With your help, we will be able to continue to focus attention through the mass media on this important campaign. The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike potentially nuclear preemptive war. It's called impeachment. High Crimes and Misdemeanors Impeachment is the direct constitutional means for removing a President, Vice President or other civil officers of the United States who has acted or threatened acts that are serious offenses against the Constitution, its system of government, or the rule of law, or that are conventional crimes of such a serious nature that they would injure the Presidency if there was no removal. A Constitutional Imperative Impeachment appears six times in the U.S. Constitution. The Founders weren't concerned with anything more than with impeachment because they had lived under King George III and had in 1776 accused the king of all the things that George W. Bush wants to do: Usurpation of the power of the people; Being above the law; Criminal abuse of authority.

The acquittal of Johnson also prevented later Congresses from using the threat of impeachment as a means of settling policy differences with the executive. Finally, the acquittal meant that in future impeachment trials the defendant would have to have committed an actual crime in order to be convicted.

He is experienced in this work, having undertaken it in 1991 for the late Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez (D-TX), in an effort to stop the first Persian Gulf War. It takes only one member to introduce articles of impeachment. Of course, it will take many more than that to vote for impeachment, which will culminate in a trial in the Senate. Boyle is confident that, once the articles are introduced, others, including Republicans, will co-sponsor them. But
