"I just want to announce that I have been given several ceremonial gavels, which I am to use up here, and then they are to be given to people for what purpose, I don't know," Hyde said. Their purpose, like the 100 pens for the impeachment trial oath signings by the 100 senators: They are all souvenirs. But many who watch the market for memories say there's not much call yet for the pens and gavels that have punctuated the historic proceedings. Mort Berkowitz of New York has a collection of more than 800,000 political items. Unless something changes, Berkowitz said, there's nothing from Clinton's impeachment that he would buy.

Opinion Fanning the flames of impeachment By Bev Conover Download a .pdf file for printing Adobe Acrobat Reader required. Click here to download a free copy. June 21, 2005—With the Downing Street Minutes that unmask his lies, with his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq lost, with his poll numbers tumbling, with Republicans jumping ship, with the economy tanking and with parents shielding their children from his military recruiters, why is George W. Bush still smiling, swaggering and acting like the dictator he hopes to become? The friction from the grinding wheels of unintended consequences have lit a fire, the flames of which need to be fanned until they consume Bush, his whole administration, and the worthless whores and pimps in Congress. But neither the flames nor the smoke in the reality-based community have yet gotten through to Bushworld, where reality is whatever he and his necons says it is. Bush's delusional thinking allows him to believe that the Planning Scenarios dreamt up by the Homeland Security Council, coupled with making permanent, and adding to, the dreadful Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, better known as the USA PATRIOT Act, will provide him with all the tools and protections he needs against dissidents (terrorists in his parlance) foreign and domestic.

House Majority Leader Dick Armey House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) has scheduled the vote on a House Judiciary Committee resolution recommending an inquiry into allegations of perjury and obstruction of justice by Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky affair. On Monday, the committee voted 21-16 strictly along party lines to send the full House a Republican proposal for a free-ranging probe that could extend beyond Independent Counsel Ken Starr's report on the Lewinsky matter and would have no deadline for completion. The partisan vote in the Judiciary Committee is likely to be repeated in the full House, though a number of Democratic defections are expected in light of the upcoming election.

home many pasts evidence www.history ... about us Impeachment 1868/1999 by Eric Foner Once before in American history, during the turbulent era of Reconstruction that followed the Civil War, a president was impeached by the House of Representatives and tried before the Senate. This was Andrew Johnson, like Clinton a Southerner who had alienated a majority of Republicans in Congress. There, however, similarities between the two impeachments begin and end. Johnson’s Reconstruction policy is often described as one of "leniency" toward the South. It was lenient enough to white Southerners, whom Johnson quickly restored to control over local affairs. To the four million emancipated slaves, however, Johnson’s lily-white plan of Reconstruction was extremely punitive. Johnson ordered black families evicted from land on which they had been settled by the U. S. army, and through the notorious Black Codes, the southern governments he created attempted to reduce blacks back to the condition of dependent plantation laborers. Between 1865 and 1867, Northern Republicans slowly became convinced that Reconstruction must recognize blacks as American citizens entitled to equality before the law and, for men, the right to vote. Johnson, a thoroughgoing racist, opposed these policies. The 1866 Congressional elections, a sweeping victory for the Republicans, demonstrated that unlike Clinton, Johnson had little popular support. Nonetheless, Johnson attempted to use the patronage and his command of the army to obstruct Congressional policies.

In her complaint initiating the suit, Ms. Jones alleged violations of her federal civil rights in 1991 by President Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas and she was an Arkansas state employee. According to the allegations, Governor Clinton invited Ms. Jones to his hotel room where he made a crude sexual advance that she rejected. After Ms. Jones filed the lawsuit, the attorneys for President Clinton moved to delay any proceedings, contending that the Constitution required that any legal action be deferred until his term ended, an issue ultimately decided against the President by the Supreme Court of the United States in its decision of

Barney Frank said late Monday that Congress should begin an impeachment investigation into the Bush administration's handling of the Leakgate scandal and not wait for Special Proscecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to determine whether any laws were broken. "During the Clinton impeachment, the Republicans kept saying, remember, impeachment does not mean the end of the process. It is the beginning," Frank told MSNBC "Hardball" substitute host Campbell Brown. Story Continues Below "I must honestly say, I do not trust the president to do an independent investigation here," Frank explained. When reminded that the Leakgate probe was in the hands of a special prosecutor, Frank sounded confused, telling Brown: "Yes. But it is still also the president, because I don't think not being convicted of a crime [should] be the only qualification for being deputy chief of staff." Moments later, Frank was asked whether Democrats should really be "pursuing impeachment proceedings on this" rather than addressing issues like Social Security reform.

Vicente Jason J. Vicente is a recent graduate of the Boston University School of Law and is presently a law clerk at the Massachusetts Superior Court in Boston. Executive Summary As the scandal surrounding the Clinton administration grows, the possibility of impeachment looms ever larger. It is an appropriate time, therefore, to examine the function and history of the impeachment provisions of the American Constitution. The Constitution divides the impeachment power between the two houses of Congress. The House of Representatives has the "sole Power of Impeachment" while the Senate has the "sole Power to try all impeachments." That division of responsibility guards against potential abuse of the impeachment power. Only the House can initiate the impeachment process. But the Senate determines if the charges are appropriate and if the evidence warrants conviction.

Return to: Opinions The Key To Impeachment Norman Solomon June 01, 2005 Norman Solomon's new book, War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to De ath, comes off the press in June. For information, go to: www.WarMadeEasy.com If you think President Bush should be impeached, it's time to get serious. Five months into 2005, the movement to impeach Bush is very small. And three enormous factors weigh against it: 1) Republicans control Congress. 2) Most congressional Democrats are routinely gutless. 3) Big media outlets shun the idea that the president might really be a war criminal. The leak of the memo weeks ago, providing minutes from a high-level meeting that Prime Minister Tony Blair held with aides in July 2002, may be the strongest evidence yet that Bush is guilty of an impeachable offense. As Rep. John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote in late May: "First, the memo appears to directly contradict the administration's assertions to Congress and the American people that it would exhaust all options before going to war. According to the minutes, in July 2002, the administration had already decided to go to war against Iraq." "Second, a debate has raged in the United States over the last year and one half about whether the obviously flawed intelligence that falsely stated that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction was a mere 'failure' or the result of intentional manipulation to reach foreordained conclusions supporting the case for war. The memo appears to close the case on that issue stating that in the United States the intelligence and facts were being 'fixed' around the decision to go to war."
