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.
List of impeachments
# | Date of impeachment | Name | Office | Charges | House vote (Y-N-A) | Senate result | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 or 3 March 2021 | Nacholebraa | Judge |
|
6-1-2 | Exact details may have been lost to time. However, Nacho was pardoned by President Krix on 31 March 2021 for "all offences he was criminally charged for under his impeachment." This would seem to imply that he was found guilty on both charges. It is likely, but not certain, that he was convicted of the following:
|
[5] [6] [7] [8] |
2 | 21 December 2021 | GoldBlooded | Secretary of the Department of Justice |
|
7-0-2* | Convicted of violating §13 and §14 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms within the Constitution.
The exact vote count may have been lost to time. |
[9] [10] [11] [12] |
