Impeachment is like the indictment. The House has sole power to impeach, and the Senate then has to try the impeachment like a Jury would try someone indicted by the DA in a criminal case.

Impeachment often gets confused for the overall process, when it really only refers to that portion that occurs in the house in real life. Both Johnson and Clinton were impeached, but were acquitted in the Senate.

Since the House's specific method of election is not described in the Constitution, is there any need to specify (like we did with the Judicial Branch) a certain level of continuity in terms of what specific method the temporary Elections Officer must use?

Also...while it may be self-serving, are we really going to have an election for President and Vice President that will have less than two weeks of campaigning? I think we should amend this and just allow Duke and I to finish our terms. Besides, there is no inherent need for a fresh election in this regard: it's necessary for the House and the Senate since there are inherent changes in the number of people in the chamber and how they're elected (and also that the House is being freshly created).

Yes, there needs to be some manner of deciding the method for the first election at least. Howe does STV work with nine seats? I have heard it works better with more seats to be elected.

Ratification is not even possible before late May because of the NE's ratification laws. So a June election is probably a foregone conclusion anyway.

I'm going to make sure to go over this with a fine-toothed comb once we're done to make sure we don't have any Yankee-errors in this Constitution.

Shove it, Griffin! At least I understand how impeachment works, don't make me use it on you as a parting gift.
