MONTPELIER -- Duncan Keir of Huntington took a day off from his timber-framing business Wednesday to join a crowd of more than 350 people from 102 communities who tried to persuade members of the Vermont House of Representatives to pass a presidential impeachment resolution.

The resolution, which urged Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives to set in motion impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, passed the state Senate on Friday, but failed to win approval in the House on Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 87-60.
