Current Project
Impeachment Forum
Can Congress "fire" defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
and other federal civil officers?
This forum presents a new constitutional theory that
shows the answer is "yes."
Please visit the
Impeachment Forum page for
more information about this. Note: A
"Law Professor's Brief" is
now available, summarizing the nub of this theory for Professors, and
others with detailed background knowledge.
As the torture and abuse of
Iraqi prisoners has come to light, America needs to be able to quickly
and decisively hold those who serve in our government accountable.
The forum is designed to do three things:
1. Present
the theory itself, with discussion and commentary
2. Promote
reporting on the theory and debate about it in the news media
3.
Organize and coordinate a petition of Congress:
a) to
consider how to implement this theory, and
b) to
begin an impeachment proceeding designed to "fire" defense secretary
Donald Rumsfeld, and possibly others, but to have no impeachment consequence other
than removal from office.
