Murtha: Dems Could Consider Impeachment
Congressional Democrats could use the threat of impeachment as a lever against President Bush in the battle over the handling of the Iraq war, Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., said Sunday. "What I’m saying, there’s four ways to influence a president. And one of them’s impeachment,” said Murtha, according to the Web site Politco.com. Murtha, chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, made his remarks on "Face the Nation.” Murtha also said it was unlikely that Bush and the Congress would be able to come to a compromise over a bill to fund the conflict. A Democratic-sponsored bill includes a timetable for a troop withdrawal, but Bush has adamantly opposed the idea.
