Former presidential candidate George McGovern has publicly called for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. In an article in the Washington Post, Senator McGovern writes, “The case for impeaching Bush and Cheney is far stronger than was the case against Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew after the 1972 election.” McGovern ran against Nixon in 1972 but lost. McGovern accused Bush of repeatedly violating the Constitution and lying to the American public. He wrote, “Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world.”
