| Description | The resolution had around 30 signatures and things were moving forward. Apparently, the sponsor agreed hold off until legislators meet with Gov. Perdue in the morning to further discuss options.
The basis of the Articles of Impeachment are that Baker has violated Article V, Section 3, Paragraph IV of the state Constitution and OCGA ยง45-15-35, both of which direct the Attorney General to take on matters of the state in court at the direction of the Governor.
Impeachment of a public official would take a simple majority in the House, but a 2/3 majority in the Senate. |
