AUGUSTA, Maine — Democratic State Convention delegates adopted a resolution Saturday calling for impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, but they opted not to include the measure in their party platform.
The strongly worded resolution says the president and vice president have "betrayed their oaths" in their prosecution of the war in Iraq, treatment and detainment of prisoners and use of illegal domestic surveillance.
It urges Congress to investigate the leaders´ actions, "carrying the legal process through to its conclusion in an act of impeachment." It also calls on the Maine Legislature and the state´s congressional representatives to press for an investigation.

if necessary, impeachment."
