In the history of the United States, Congress has held 51 impeachment proceedings.  Out of those, Congress has approved 12 Articles of Impeachment, 2 of which addressed misconduct by U.S. Presidents, Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998).  Neither of the Presidents were convicted by the Senate or removed from office.  Impeachment is not an automatic removal from office, it is merely a first step or indictment.  Congress impeaches an official by a simple majority, but conviction and removal requires a 2/3s vote in the Senate.  While you may certainly disagree, our guest today is deeply committed to the effort to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney.  Raymond McGovern, a C.I.A. intelligence analyst for 27 years speaks with Producer Kathy Golden.
