Made redundant by Impeachment Act
House Vote: 9-0-1
Senate Vote: 5-0-0
The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:
1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Impeachment Clarification Amendment"
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
2 - Purpose
(1) Impeachment within the constitution is loosely defined.
(2) The purpose of this bill is to further define impeachment and its punishments.
(3) This bill also establishes a statute of limitation on impeachment, so that ex-officials who left office over 2 months ago cannot be impeached. Additionally, this bill also establishes that an official or ex-official can only be impeached if they violated the constitution. This means that any violations of simple law would need to be pursued in a court.
3 - Impeachment Powers
(1) Under “Powers of the House of Representatives” changes “Can impeach government officials and ex-government officials if the actions that led to impeachment happened while in office.” to “Can impeach government officials, and ex-government officials no more than 2 months after leaving office, if the actions that led to impeachment happened while in office.”
2) Under “Powers of the Senate'' changes “Responsible for conducting impeachment trials after the house has impeached the official, whereby a supermajority is required to remove the official from office, The Chief Justice shall Chair trials in place of the Vice President if the President or the Vice President is the one under question.” to “Responsible for conducting impeachment trials after the house has impeached the official or ex-official, whereby a supermajority is required to decide a verdict. The Chief Justice shall Chair trials in place of the Vice President if the President or the Vice President is the one under question. The Senate can only issue punishments to a verdict as specified within this constitution.”
4 - Defining Impeachment
(1) Under “Defining Key Terms” adds the definition of “Impeachment” defined as:
“Impeachment is a constitutional remedy to address serious constitutional offences. The House will lay charges against an official or an ex-official, specifying what constitutional provisions were violated. Any impeached official or ex-official will be subject to a trial that will be conducted by the Senate. If found guilty of any alleged constitutional offence by the Senate, the official or ex-official in question may be subject to:
- Immediate removal from office.
- Ban from elected office for a period of no longer than 2 months.
- Ban from judicial office for a period of no longer than 2 months.
- Ban from executive office for a period of no longer than 2 months.”
