U.S. Rep. Walter Jones' chief of staff says he never voted to impeach the vice president.
After Dome posted a link to a post by David Frum asserting that Jones voted to impeach Cheney, Glen Downs, Jones' chief of staff, called to say that Frum was wrong.
In November, there was an effort by Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich to impeach Cheney for "fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction" to justify the war in Iraq.
The vote involved some strange manuevers, in which the Republicans tried to force a vote to portray the Democrats as extreme, and the Democratic leadership tried to ship the measure to committee to kill it.
Jones voted against a motion to suspend the rules and consider the impeachment measure, Downs said. Jones then voted to send the measure to committee to kill it.
"He never voted to impeach Cheney," Downs said.

Re: Jones: Never voted to impeach Cheney
No doubt Cheney is tough, but America has always been the heart and sole of the world. We are the only country that would take the global initiative on Islamic fascism and terrorism. Luckily we had some friends around the world that understand how serious this problem is. We waited too long on Hitler and millions died. Not this time!
