[Peace-discuss] Our Impeachment referenda recognized

[Morton K. Brussel]

Extract from an article on impeachment referenda in the nation:

The referendums in those communities, and Montpelier, Vermont, and  
Urbana, Ill., and other locales across the land are classic  
illustrations of the petitioning for the redress of grievances that  
the Constitution does not merely protect but in fact encourages. The  
impeachment-from-below movement is the modern-day expression of the  
oldest of American ideals: No man, be he pauper or president, shall  
stand above the law. And it is wholly appropriate that it is  
beginning at the municipal level.
