Impeachment

   S1. Grounds for Impeachment

Violation of the Constitution, a blatant neglect of duty, disciplinary conduct violation or misuse of funds shall constitute grounds for impeachment.

S2. Members Eligible for Impeachment

Any campus-wide elected official or class officer may be impeached by a 2/3 vote by the Senate based on charges drawn up from criteria listed in S1 of this article. Club officers may be impeached through the provisions in their club constitutions.

S3. Process

The party in question will have a hearing with the Executive Board where they will be issued a verbal and written notification of their violation. It will be brought to their attention that they can either have one week to prepare a defense to be brought forth to Senate or they submit a letter of resignation to the Senate. If the party in question does not attend this hearing without providing an excuse which is approved by the Executive Board, their absence will serve as their formal resignation. Once impeached, the party will have a hearing as defined by the By-Laws, Article IV, Dismissal Proceedings. If the impeached officer is an Executive Board member, the Senate will have a hearing.
