(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Bill was authored by Representative Icypenguin79.

2 - Reasons

(1) Resigning before impeachment is a loophole that should be closed.

3 - Terms

[Krix]

This bill is hereby vetoed.​

Reasoning:

• The purpose of Impeachment is to remove government officials from Office, if they have already resigned they are no longer in the office, therefore the purpose of impeachment is gone.​
• If you believe someone committed illegal activity while in a government office, It is the role of the court to preside over that not congress and that is the only purpose I could see to this bill.​
