WASHINGTON -- Five members of a veterans group calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush planned to occupy a ledge at the front of the National Archives Tuesday.

The five members of Veterans For Peace, who are veterans of Vietnam and Iraq, planned to scale a 9-foot retaining fence and occupy a 35-foot high ledge, where they intend to fast for 24 hours.

The group planned to raise a banner reading, "Defend our Constitution. Arrest Bush and Cheney: War Criminals!"
