France wants Bush at vote (Sophie Louet, 08/03/2003, News 24)

France on Saturday reinforced its call for President George W. Bush to attend next week's United Nations vote on war against Iraq, insisting leaders take personal responsibility for a "life or death" decision. [...]

"When you decree life or death, it should be done at the highest level of responsibility," a source close to President Jacques Chirac said of a vote on a new resolution expected next Tuesday or soon after.

"Given the importance of the decision, it seems legitimate that it is taken by heads of state and government," the Elysee Palace source said.

Any president who would go before the UN in such a situation, as if awaiting authority from it before exercising the sovereign power of the United States government, should be impeached. This matter was settled at "the highest level of responsibility" when Congress approved the war resolution last year. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 9, 2003 8:54 PM
