This is a big moment so we're including the beginning of Senator =20= > Feingold's speech outlining the case for censure below. You can read =20= > the censure resolution here. >> Mr. President, when the President of the United States breaks the =20 >> law, he must be held accountable. That is why today I am introducing =20= >> a resolution to censure President George W. Bush. >> >> The President authorized an illegal program to spy on American =20 >> citizens on American soil, and then misled Congress and the public =20= >> about the existence and legality of that program. It is up to this =20= >> body to reaffirm the rule of law by condemning the President's =20 >> actions. >> >> All of us in this body took an oath to support and defend the =20 >> Constitution of the United States and bear true allegiance to the =20 >> same. Fulfilling that oath requires us to speak clearly and =20 >> forcefully when the President violates the law. This resolution =20 >> allows us to send a clear message that the President's conduct was =20= >> wrong. >> >> And we must do that. The President's actions demand a formal judgment = =20 >> from Congress. >> >> At moments in our history like this, we are reminded why the founders = =20 >> balanced the powers of the different branches of government so =20 >> carefully in the Constitution. At the very heart of our system of =20 >> government lies the recognition that some leaders will do wrong, and =20= >> that others in the government will then bear the responsibility to do = =20 >> right. >> >> This President has done wrong. This body can do right by condemning =20= >> his conduct and showing the people of this nation that his actions =20= >> will not be allowed to stand unchallenged. >> >> To date, members of Congress have responded in very different ways to = =20 >> the President's conduct. Some are responding by defending his =20 >> conduct, ceding him the power he claims, and even seeking to grant =20= >> him expanded statutory authorization powers to make his conduct =20 >> legal. While we know he is breaking the law, we do not know the =20 >> details of what the President has authorized or whether there is any =20= >> need to change the law to allow it, yet some want to give him carte =20= >> blanche to continue his illegal conduct. To approve the President's =20= >> actions now, without demanding a full inquiry into this program, a =20= >> detailed explanation for why the President authorized it, and =20 >> accountability for his illegal actions, would be irresponsible. It =20= >> would be to abandon the duty of the legislative branch under our =20 >> constitutional system of separation of powers while the President =20 >> recklessly grabs for power and ignores the rule of law. >> >> Others in Congress have taken important steps to check the President. = =20 >> Senator Specter has held hearings on the wiretapping program in the =20= >> Judiciary Committee. He has even suggested that Congress may need to =20= >> use the power of the purse in order to get some answers out of the =20= >> Administration. And Senator Byrd has proposed that Congress establish = =20 >> an independent commission to investigate this program. >> >> As we move forward, Congress will need to consider a range of =20 >> possible actions, including investigations, independent commissions, =20= >> legislation, or even impeachment. But, at a minimum, Congress should =20= >> censure a president who has so plainly broken the law. >> Our founders anticipated that these kinds of abuses would occur. =20 >> Federalist Number 51 speaks of the Constitution's system of checks =20= >> and balances: >> >> "It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be =20= >> necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government = =20 >> itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men =20= >> were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to =20 >> govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government =20 >> would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be =20 >> administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you =20= >> must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the =20= >> next place oblige it to control itself." >> >> Mr. President, we are faced with an executive branch that places =20 >> itself above the law. The founders understood that the branches must =20= >> check each other to control abuses of government power. The =20 >> president's actions are such an abuse, Mr. President. His actions =20 >> must be checked, and he should be censured. > To continue reading, please click below: > http://www.moveon.org/r?r=3D1536 > > Support our member-driven organization: MoveOn.org Political Action is = =20 > entirely funded by our 3.3 million members.
