House to Debate Impeachement of Vice President Cheney?

[Barretboy]

I don't understand, on what grounds are they attempting to impeach him?

Why would it matter--he would just get pardoned anyway if it somehow got legs.

A 5-minute vote has just started to refer the impeachement to the House Judiciary Committee.

This is a BIG vote.

It specifically says in the constitution that the president may not issue pardons for officers removed after an impeachment.
