Lewis: If he broke law, Bush should be impeached

The Associated Press - ATLANTA

U.S. Rep. John Lewis said Monday in a radio interview that President Bush should be impeached if he broke the law in authorizing spying on Americans.

The Democratic congressman from Atlanta told WAOK-AM he would sign a bill of impeachment if one was drawn up and that the House of Representatives should consider such a move.

Lewis is among several Democrats who have voiced discontent with Sunday night's television speech, when Bush asked Americans to continue to support the Iraq War.

"Its a very serious charge, but he violated the law," said Lewis, a veteran civil rights leader. "The president should abide by the law. He deliberately, systematically violated the law. He is not king, he is president."
