Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-St. Louis, has joined two other members of Congress in sponsoring a bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.
The bill seeks to have Cheney removed because, the measure contends, he led Americans into a war in Iraq on false pretenses.
"Despite all evidence to the contrary, the vice president actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about the alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction," the bill states. It is not expected to go far in the Democratically controlled House.
The other two sponsors are Rep. Janice Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, a long-shot presidential candidate.
