Kucinich: Obama Impeachment 'Not Going to Happen'

Politico reports:

Democrat Rep. Dennis Kucinich is walking back from his suggestion that President Barack Obama be impeached for authorizing air strikes against Libya without congressional approval.

Asked Thursday night if he sees support for impeachment building, the liberal Ohioan said it isn’t. “No, I don’t think that,” he told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business Network. “Impeachment is a process. That’s not going happen.”

Earlier this week, though, Kucinich appeared more determined to pursue a debate about impeaching Obama. “It would appear on its face to be an impeachable offense,” he said Monday to the liberal website Raw Story, though he acknowledged then “it doesn’t necessarily follow that simply because a president has committed an impeachable offense, that the process should start to impeach and remove him.”

In 2008, Kucinich pursued efforts to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for their roles in the Iraq war.
