The House voted to refer the matter to the judiciary committee, where it is supposed to rest until forgotten. But there's a report that Kucinich told the chair of the committee that if there is no action on the resolution within 30 days, he'll introduce another impeachment resolution, this time with 60 articles rather than 35. (By contrast, I think Clinton's had 4, two of which made it as far as the Senate trial. See http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/resources/1998/lewinsky/articles.of.impeachment/ )
But at least Bush didn't lie about sex... and fall victim of a $47 million taxpayer-funded perjury trap. Those are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," not all this fiddly stuff about how and why we got into a war, blah blah blah...
