Thank you for contacting me regarding H Res 799. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns. As you may know, H Res 799 is legislation introduced by Representative Kucinich of Ohio which would impeach Vice President Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment is the first stage in a two stage process Congress can use to remove a government official from his position. While I agree with you that the Bush Administration has demonstrated an egregious lack of planning in Iraq and poor judgment in a wide variety of areas, I have not seen evidence that Vice President Cheney has performed the specific indignations which warrant impeachment. I am sorry we disagree on this matter. I am sure there are other issues on which we agree. I hope you continue to contact me with your concerns. Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again on any matter of concern. You can also visit my website (http://www.house.gov/israel) to learn more about the issues important to you.
