Guest Wayne Baldwin Posted March 27, 2011 at 08:25 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 at 08:25 PM Can anyone tell me what would be legitimate grounds to call for the impeachment of a President? Or a reference as to his duties/responsibilities/requirements as to impartiality and best interest of an organization would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wynn Posted March 27, 2011 at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 at 08:56 PM Can anyone tell me what would be legitimate grounds to call for the impeachment of a President?Assuming you mean removal from office, it would be "misconduct or neglect of duty in office." See RONR(10th ed.), p. 642.Or a reference as to his duties/responsibilities/requirements as to impartiality and best interest of an organization would be helpful.See RONR(10th ed.), p. 433-437.

Gary Novosielski Posted March 27, 2011 at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 at 09:08 PM It is worth noting that there is no requirement of "impartiality" by the president. While there are times that the president should conduct himself as if he were impartial, there is no requirement that he actually hold no opinions, nor even that he must keep them to himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
