Dear Friend,
Thank you for your e-mail about Vice President Cheney. I appreciate hearing from you.
Under Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, the House of Representatives has the sole authority to begin the process of impeachment on a President or Vice President for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Congress is responsible for providing oversight to the executive branch, and we will continue to do so as we have on numerous matters.
I understand that you don't agree with the Vice President. That is your right. You can be as critical as you want to be of your government. But that is not grounds for impeachment.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please continue to contact me about issues that are important to you. While I commute from my home in Albuquerque to Washington D.C. , for voting and committee hearings, you can always check my web site for upcoming community events to find where you can catch me around town.
