On September 7, 2007, Jim Nachman, chairman of the Richmond City Democratic Committee, announced the passing by the Committee of a resolution calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. The resolution was brought before the Committee by Christopher Dorsey and passed by an overwhelming majority. The vehicle used by the Committee was Jefferson’s Manual, a set of parliamentary guidelines written by Thomas Jefferson and used by the House of Representatives.

Some, but not all, of the reasons listed in the Resolution include the administration’s conducting electronic surveillance of American citizens without seeking warrants; indefinite detention of citizens; torture of prisoners; and intentionally misleading the Congress and public regarding the treat from Iraq in order to justify a war against Iraq, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1001.

Over 184 state legislatures, cities and towns, political committees, and constituent groups have passed similar Resolutions. Other Democratic Committees in the local metro area are considering Impeachment Resolutions.
