Biden makes impeachment a campaign theme

[ruggerson]

From the Nation:

"Joe Biden is getting comfortable with the "I" word. And the crowds in New Hampshire and Iowa are cheering on the Delaware senator's new bluntness.

Picking up a theme that has been championed by another contender for the Democratic presidential nod, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is now talking about impeachment on a regular basis as he campaigns in the first-caucus and first-primary states.

Biden's mincing no words as he explains the position he initially took during the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas.

Speaking in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, this week, Biden declared, "The President has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran and if he does, as foreign relations committee chairman, I will move to impeach."

Biden can't actually move to impeach.

The House impeaches president and vice presidents, while the Senate is charged by the Constitution to judge whether the impeached officials should be removed from their positions."

it has even more credibility when he mentions it. He's not a man given to rash judgements.
