MEMORANDUM
To: Rep. John Conyers, Jr.
From: John C. Bonifaz
Date:
May 22, 2005
RE: The President’s Impeachable Offenses

The recent release of the Downing Street Memo provides new and
compelling evidence that the President of the United States has been
actively engaged in a conspiracy to deceive and mislead the United States
Congress and the American people about the basis for going to war against
Iraq. If true, such conduct constitutes a High Crime under Article II,
Section 4 of the United States Constitution: “The President, Vice President,
and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on
impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes
and misdemeanors.”
In light of the emergence of the Downing Street Memo, Members of Congress should introduce a Resolution of Inquiry directing the House Judiciary Committee to launch a formal investigation into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of epresentatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach George W. Bush, resident of the United States.
