Article of Impeachment Against Attorney General Benconstine

[Napoleon]

Isn't the President is already looking for a new Attorney General?  If so, then I don't really see why this is necessary even if you believe Ben deserves to be impeached.  It seems kind of like yelling "don't let the door hit you on the way out" and don't think he deserves that sort of treatment even if I would liked to have seen him be more active.

Ben has not resigned. If he'd like to do so, I'd be willing to drop this, but until then, this stands. He should be removed from office for egregious neglect of his duties.

I agree. If he resigns or gets fired this needs dropped but until then the Senate must act alone where necessary

[Napoleon]

And sure, I'll stoop to answer the asinine question.

I'm still waiting on your answer, then.  But since none will be forthcoming

NAY

I have no reason to believe the President is lying to us when he says Ben resigned, and if the President wants to appoint someone else to this position, as he has stated he is interested in doing, an impeachment is not necessary in any case.

If Ben had resigned the Supreme Court would have declined to open the vote. I wouldn't see how the President comes into play.

[Napoleon]

I'm aware of that clause, Senator. Actually I had to dismiss a few cabinet officials during my term. Problem is, Duke did not fire Ben. He sought potential replacements but didn't go further. And he did say Ben "offered his resignation" but that doesn't necessarily mean "has resigned" and I am unsure if the President can simply announce someone else's resignation and it becomes so. Tyrions resolution should take care of that even if I would make it more specific.

So the problem is a complete lack of clarity. Ben has been going as Attorney General Ben this whole time so I don't know why his resignation should be presumed but thankfully things are all taken care of now. In my opinion, though, if impeachment is not gking to be used for cases such as this perhaps we should abolish impeachment altogether.
