on this postIt is official. Representaive Maurice Hinchey, Dem NY 22nd Congressional District, has co-sponsored House Resolution 1258 Impeaching George W. Bush, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Hinchey has not yet cosigned H. Res. 333 to impeach Vice President Richard B. Cheney, nor has he yet cosigned Rep. Robert Wexler’s (D-FL) letter which calls for impeachment hearings against Cheney.
Hinchey cosigned H. Res. 1258 Wednesday along with Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the two Representatives becoming the fourth and fifth cosigners of the bill authored by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH).
Here are the cosigners with the dates they added their names to the bill:
Rep Wexler, Robert [FL-19] - 6/11/2008
Rep Woolsey, Lynn C. [CA-6] - 6/11/2008
Rep Lee, Barbara [CA-9] - 6/11/2008
Rep Hinchey, Maurice D. [NY-22] - 6/18/2008
Rep Baldwin, Tammy [WI-2] - 6/18/2008Hinchey has been under pressure from many of his constituents to make a strong stand on impeachment ever since he publicly called for the impeachment of President Bush but then recanted - calling for the much weaker action of a censure of Bush and Cheney for their pre-war lies instead.
