..."Kucinich's resolution has at least one congressional backer.

Florida Democrat Robert Wexler declared support for it in a press release this afternoon. He accused President Bush of creating a "massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American poeple" and "an unprecedented abuse of executive power."

"It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this administration," Wexler said.

Wexler is a House Judiciary Committee member who launched a nationwide campaign earlier this year to hold impeachment hearings for Cheney, although he didn't cosponsor a Kucinich's Cheney impeachment measure until today.

Wexler doesn't think there's currently enough support on the Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment proceedings, but hopes upcoming testimony by former Bush press secretary Scott McClellan might change members' minds, said his chief of staff, Eric Johnson.

"There weren't enough committed votes to impeach Nixon before the hearings and tapes were discovered," Johnson said. "You need to have the hearings to bring evidence out to make the case."
