NATIONAL IMPEACHMENT DAY: 18.03.06
(3rd anniversary of the Parliamentary vote on the Iraq war)



FAQ

1. WHAT IS IMPEACHMENT?
In a nutshell, impeachment is the process where a high level official is brought to book for commiting criminal acts. It does not necessarily mean removal from office. It is a formal statement of charges, a bit like an indictment in criminal law. Once the charges have been brought, the person can be charged by a vote in the House of Lords (in the name of the House of Commons). It is then that they can be removed from office.

2. WHY SHOULD TONY BLAIR BE IMPEACHED?
Because, along with President Bush, he brought the UK into an illegal and immoral war and has still not faced proper justice for it. What precedent does it set if we the people of Britain allow that to happen without using the tools at our disposal to sort the situation out?
