Impeachment fizzle: Boulder lacks votes to take on Bush

A move to draft a Boulder City Council resolution supporting the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney likely won't get enough support to get off the ground Tuesday.

A canvass of the City Council shows there aren't likely to be the five votes required to draft, debate and eventually hold a vote on the measure as activists have requested.

City Councilman Macon Cowles last week told his colleagues that he plans to ask for a vote Tuesday on whether to move forward with an impeachment resolution. For the past several weeks, supporters of such a move have been speaking at City Council meetings and handing out "Impeach" pins.

Cowles said the activists deserve to know whether the council will act on their resolution. But Cowles said he won't support it, although he agrees with the sentiments it expresses.

"It's a straight-up impeachment resolution, much like Congress can and probably should have begun investigating several years ago," he said. "I am not interested in engaging in purely symbolic acts. ... We obviously lack the power to act on any of the constitutional violations of the current administration."

The activists said they had support from four of the nine members of the City Council to carry the resolution forward, but at least two of the four -- Cowles and Susan Osborne -- expressed reservations Thursday.

And other members have expressed outright opposition.

"This is not something I want us to spend time on," Mayor Shaun McGrath said. [.....]

Whee Doggies - that was a close 'un! Now the President can get on with his duties and quit worrying about these folks. I thought the best comment made by a citizen on the Boulder News Blog was; "Oh heck, now they can get back to screwing up our city instead of fretting over something totally beyond their responsibilities!"
