Sen. Feingold Introduces Resolution to Censure Bush

HeadlineMar 14, 2006

On Capitol Hill, Wisconsin Democratic Senator Russ Feingold has introduced a resolution to censure President Bush for authorizing the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless domestic surveillance. “The President violated the law, ignored the Constitution and the other 2 branches of government, and disregarded the rights and freedoms upon which our country was founded,” Feingold said. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist attempted to force the Senate to immediately vote on Feingold’s resolution before anyone actually read it but Democrats protested the move. However few Senate Democrats have yet to publicly support Feingold’s move to censure. Meanwhile in the House, the number of Democrats backing a resolution to impeach the president has now topped 30.
