Kucinich wants Cheney impeached

Democratic Ohio Senator Dennis Kucinich took steps Tuesday to have Vice President Dick Cheney impeached.

Kucinich said his motivation is Cheney's push to send the U.S. to war in Iraq, according to cnn.com.

He claims Cheney has continued to push for war and a surge in troops using false claims. He introduced three articles of impeachment Tuesday, but currently has no support from other house members.

It has been said that Kucinich, a Democratic candidate for president, is doing this for political gain. He has denied this claim.
