37. This Will Only Get Better...
Mon Feb 10, 2014, 04:26 PM
Feb 2014

in the end the GWB is only the tip of the iceberg. He's being set up for impeachment. They're gathering evidence designed to demonstrate a pattern of misbehavior, abuse of power and malfeasance.

From the NJ Constitution:

Artilce VII, Section III

l. The Governor and all other State officers, while in office and for two years thereafter, shall be liable to impeachment for misdemeanor committed during their respective continuance in office.

2. The General Assembly shall have the sole power of impeachment by vote of a majority of all the members. All impeachments shall be tried by the Senate, and members, when sitting for that purpose, shall be on oath or affirmation "truly and impartially to try and determine the charge in question according to the evidence."No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the members of the Senate. When the Governor is tried, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside and the President of the Senate shall not participate in the trial.

3. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and to disqualification to hold and enjoy any public office of honor, profit or trust in this State; but the person convicted shall nevertheless be liable to indictment, trial and punishment according to law.


This matter will be referred to the state Assembly for consideration of impeachment proceedings at some point in the next several months.
