As I explain in the video below, I think this is not a very good idea, but I am amused. Here's the story of the town in Vermont considering the arrest of President Bush and Vice President Cheney:

1. This is an example of America at its best!
Yes, it is a scary notion, with lots of ramifications, but what a great way to send a message to Congress.
If the people have to embarrass Congress into impeaching Bush and Cheney, let the games begin.

The State that lets Pedophiles walk free, home of Pedophiles unmolested by the courts, Pedophiles. Vermont even refuses to pass tough laws against Pedophiles.
They cannot protect their own children, or refuse to protect them.
It is a great idea, issue arrest warrants for Bush and Cheney, but it will never prod the Coward Democrats, led by Nancy, to begin Impeachment on Cheney or Bush. Only the Liberal Democrats and the Republicans want to Impeach Cheney, debate it and vote on it in Congress. The House Democrat Leaders just want to bury Impeachment in Committee
Begin Impeachment today.

5. Let us all count how many times that loon okane reiterates 'Pedophile', a propensity towards it per chance?
Which Committee, okane, tell us in all your wisdom WHICH COMITTEE?
Just to let you know when something goes into, as you say, "Committee", it is said 'sent to Committees'. Notice the 's'.
I would think if the House approved it it will be sent to the Senate, they read it, usually twice, if in between, it is amended it is sent back to the House then sent to the Senate, then referred to Committees. 'referred', and an 's'. Thought you might like to learn more than how to spell pedophile 9 BN times.
Then what is H R 333, H R 799?

6. ACTUALLY AS A CONSERVATIVE BLOGGER AND ONE WHO READS THEM, I LIKE JOHN MCCAIN. I WAS ONE OF HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGERS IN NEW YORK WHEN WE TRIED TO GET HIM ON THE BALLOT. I DID NOT WANT BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE. SO I AM CONTENT WITH MIKE HUCKABEE OR JOHN MCCAIN. BOTH GO AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT, WHICH LIKE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, IS OVER RUN BY MASONS.
THE MASONS ARE BEHIND THE GLOBALISM and COLLUSION TACTICS WHICH KEEP THEIR MEMBERS RICH AND POWERFUL.

7. You can't impeach a president for doing a bad job, and you can't impeach a president for lying to the voters. If that's the standard, then you could have impeached every president going back to FDR.
Clinton lied under oath, and Nixon obstructed justice. That's why impeachment proceedings were started against them
Kent at 8:31AM on Jan 29th 2008
8. As much as I love a good story about an eccentric New England town, I am pretty sure that municipal governments can't penalize someone unless they commit a crime within that jurisdiction.
So, Bush and Cheney are gonna need to go to Brattleboro and then break one that local ordinance. It's like how there are some temperance towns still in the south where you can be penalized for drinking alcohol there. Laws only apply to those borders. And it's not likely that Bush and Cheney would want to travel over to Brattleboro in the first place.

9. In that case Kent you agree then that war crimes are an impeachable offence, yes? As is war fraud and false testimony to congress? As is surveilance on American citizens without a court appointed warrant? You're quite right that unpopularity is not grounds for impeachment. That is why Bush and Cheney are not being impeached for unpopularity. They are being impeached for real crimes that should be brought to the public's attention.
And incidently, two things. One. I would want any president, democrat or republican, impeached had they done what these two have orchastrated. Two, Clinton did not lie under oath. Congress defined sex and non-oral sexual contact between reproductive organs to Clinton's lawyers, so technically he did NOT lie to congress. He did lie to the American public, but I don't know a man who wouldn't have in that circumstance.

10. Democrats everywhere should repudiate these nuts. Talk about right wing nutsos. These people are actually mainstream in Vermont. Sad, very sad.

Glad to help you out and expanding your knowledge
Rep Kucinich's Resolution to Impeach Cheney was sent to the House Judical Committee.
On November 6, 1997 the Democrat Leaders tried to table the Kucinich Resolution of Impeachment of Cheney to avoid a floor debate on Impeachment. A vote was taken to support the debate on Impeachment with 251 favoring debate, 162 against debate, 120 Rep and 131 Dem's voted in favor of Debate. Majority Leader Hoyer then had Kucinich Resolution sent to House Judical Committee, where it sits today, nothing being done to date.

Webster told me Pedophile is "one affected with
Pedophilia"
Webster then says Pedophelia is "sexual
perversion in which children are the
preferred sexual object"
Webster does not connect "feet" with this word, but Webster should connect Vermont
