Bush to face impeachment

Maybe. The text of the resolution is up at the Illinois General Assembly website.

It was introduced by Rep. Karen Yarbrough of the Berwyn/Maywood area in the near western suburbs of Chicago. As of Friday, the resolution had two co-sponsors: Rep. Eddie Washington of Waukegan and Rep. Sara Feigenholtz of Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. As of Tuesday, the bill was sent to the Rules Committee, and 14 more co-sponsors have been added.

According to the Rules of the 109th Congress, Section 603, a state legislature can initiate impeachment proceedings by transmitting charges to the U.S. House of Representatives. Section 604 states: "A direct proposition to impeach is a question of high privilege in the House and at once supersedes business otherwise in order."

Although the Democrats hold the majority in the Illinois Legislature, it's no sure thing that the bill will pass both houses. And if it does and gets sent to Congress, will our lawmakers take it seriously?
