Who says there isn’t bipartisan cooperation in D.C?
A group of House Republicans joined House Democrats yesterday to kill a resolution that would have impeached IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for misleading Congress and destroying evidence.
During Congress’s investigation into IRS targeting of conservative groups, Koskinen waited months to tell investigators about additional Lois Lerner emails, destroyed hundreds of backup tapes containing those emails, and lied during his testimony before Congress.
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan introduced a resolution yesterday in the House to impeach the Commissioner, but it was sent back to the same committee where it’s been waiting for the last eighteen months.
The American people want justice for the IRS’s clear partisan attacks, but it seems they aren’t going to get it through the national government.
That’s why hundreds of thousands of Americans have joined the Convention of States Project. A Convention of States is called by the states under Article V of the Constitution.
Congress doesn’t have to approve the Convention. Neither does the President or the Supreme Court. Delegates to the Convention can propose amendments to the Constitution, amendments that limit the power of federal agencies like the IRS and ensure they never abuse their power again.
A small minority in Congress has fought faithfully for limited government, but they can’t change how D.C. operates by themselves. They need the people and the states to rise up, call a Convention of States, and stop federal abuse once and for all.
