> General William Odom: "Congress clearly and indisputably has two
> powers over the executive: the power of the purse and the power to
> impeach. Instead of using either, members of congress are wasting
> their time discussing feckless measures like a bill that 'de-
> authorizes the war in Iraq.' That is toothless unless it is matched
> by a cut-off of funds."

> We're never going to get change in this country until we start
> routinely using the power to impeach and remove officials who
> aren't serving the interests of the country.
