NEWFANE, Vt. -- If voters in several Vermont communities had their way, President George W. Bush would be impeached.

At least five Vermont communities went on record in elections Tuesday to support impeaching the president.

Residents of Newfane, Brookfield, Dummerston, Marlboro and Putney backed anti-Bush resolutions, which called on Vermont Rep. Bernie Sanders to file articles of impeachment against the president. The paperwork alleges that Bush misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying.

Sanders issued a statement saying that the Bush administration "has been a disaster for our country, and a number of actions that he has taken may very well not have been legal."

But Sanders, an Independent, said that given the reality that the Republicans control the House and the Senate, "it would be impractical to talk about impeachment."
