Hello, I am Congressman Robert Wexler.

It is the duty of Congress to investigate the actions of Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration. Our Constitution mandates that the House of Representatives hold Presidents and Vice-Presidents accountable when they commit High Crimes.

Serious and substantive allegations have been made against Dick Cheney that relate to the precise powers of the Vice-Presidency and executive branch – namely War and Peace – safeguarding the civil liberties of Americans – and protecting the safety of our covert agents. It is Congress's constitutional role to inquire -- to determine the truth.

It is time for the House Judiciary Committee to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney. We have an obligation to ask questions -- to determine whether in fact the Vice President purposefully manipulated intelligence, bringing us into war;

...whether he knowingly ordered the illegal use of torture;

...whether he knowingly exposed covert agents for political purposes;

...whether he obstructed federal investigations.

These charges are too serious to ignore. Hearings will put the evidence on the table, and the facts alone will determine the outcome. We owe it to history to investigate and record the many abuses of this Administration. We cannot allow the unlawful actions of President Bush and Vice President Cheney to be become precedent for future administrations.

I have heard from thousands of concerned citizens throughout the nation who understand the importance of these hearings, both for today and for history.

Accountability and the rule of law are not partisan; they are American. They supercede politics and strategy. We must hold all of our leaders accountable. No exceptions.
