Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who introduced 35 articles of impeachment last month, is set to introduce just one article on the House floor today. According to a press release distributed by the congressman's office, Kucinich will argue for impeachment on the grounds of "Deceiving Congress with Fabricated Threats of Iraq WMDs to Fraudulently Obtain Support for an Authorization of the Use of Military Force Against Iraq."

"The breadth and depth of the President's misrepresentations do not argue for incompetency as a defense, but for deceit as an impeachable offense. We have arrived at a teachable moment in our Constitutional history. Congress must insist on accountability. We must regain our rightful role as a co-equal branch of government charged with providing a check and balance to Executive abuse of power," Kucinich wrote to House colleagues, per Politico's John Bresnahan.

Kucinich plans to read the text of the article from the terrace of the Cannon House Office Building at 2:00 p.m. today. Later in the afternoon Kucinich hopes to read the article on the House floor for consideration. The bill he introduced on June 10 was referred to committee on a 251-166 roll call vote, all but killing the measure.

UPDATE: With a pro-Iraq war demonstrator talking through a megaphone in the background, Kucinich presented his case on the terrace of the Cannon building. He said he plans to make his formal presentation to the House at 4:00 p.m., with the hopes of the bill being referred to the Judiciary committee, which would this time let him present his case there.
