Pelosi: Bush Impeachment `Off the Table

Published: November 8, 2006
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi promised Wednesday that when her party takes over, the new majority will not attempt to remove President Bush from office, despite earlier pledges to the contrary from others in the caucus.
I have said it before and I will say it again: Impeachment is off the table, Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a news conference.
