Revision as of 21:04, 3 July 2025

Impeachment is a constitutional remedy to address serious constitutional offenses committed by current or past government officials. For past government officials, it must be no longer than 2 months after they left office.[1]

In order for a government official or ex-government official to be impeached, the House of Representatives will lay charges and specify what constitutional provisions were violated. The Constitution is not clear on whether this requires majority or supermajority in the House.[2] Before the ratification of the Commonwealth of Redmont Constitution Act, on 6 March 2025, the requirement for the House to impeach someone was supermajority (two thirds in favor).[3][4]

After someone is impeached, they are subject to trial by the Senate. The Senate then may, by supermajority, vote to convict them. The vote to convict will also specify the punishment, which can be any amount of the following:

  • 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.
