Deja Vu on Presidential Abuse of Power

WEIGH IMPEACHMENT IN AN ILLEGAL WAR

On August 9, 1983, Don Edwards, Democrat of California, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights:
Do we have any means to stop the President from waging an illegal war? On July 28, the House voted 228 to 195 to stop the invasion of Nicaragua by a mercenary army hired by the Central Intelligence Agency. President Reagan's response was, in effect, ''Try and stop me.'' ...

If we do not try to stop this current president, we will just be stomped further into the ground by future presidents.

I think the real reason Nancy Pelosi does not want impeachment to go forward is that she would be acting president as soon as articles of impeachment are filed for both Bush and Cheney.
