Will the house hear 60 articles of impeachment against President Bush before July 17?

Settled as No

Background: [quote]Democratic leaders have made clear that they want no further action on impeachment this year, but Kucinich said after the vote that doing nothing was not an option.[/quote]

[quote]"Thirty days from now, if there is no action, I will be bringing the resolution up again, and I won't be the only one reading it."[/quote]

[quote]"We'll come back and many of us will be reading this [on the House floor], and we'll come back with 60 articles, not 35."[/quote]

Mork - July 13th is a Sunday ... which means Kucinich would have to have them read by Friday, July 11th ... which is less than the thirty days he mentioned. Maybe adding some "wiggle room" to this question might be good.

Too bad his wife can't read them.

(BTW, you can add "quote marks" just by typing them " " " ;-)

OK.

I am going to suspend this one and hopefully get the date changed to July 15, and have the suspend date changed to this year.

Sorry all.
I hope everyone is ok with the plan.
