SR 108-24: Articles of Impeachment against President OBD (Convicted)

[Mr. Reactionary]

Aye whenever

[Mr. Reactionary]

The Supreme Court finally ruled this afternoon.

Everything he did was without force of law.

Hopefully we can proceed to the Chief Justice soon.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I can see that no one read my post from last night…

If you are trying to convince us that CB and yourself and Putin just care so much about the game and specifically the rightwing in the game, you got a high burden to meet. Especially when this started when the South passed dozens of laws yall didnt like.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Amendment:

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT

A RESOLUTION.

Whereas, the Constitution provides that the Senate “shall have the sole Power to adopt and try Articles of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office and disqualified from any office under the Republic of Atlasia for a period not exceeding two years" on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors; and

Whereas, Oregon Blue Dog (AKA OBD), President of the Republic of Atlasia, has in fact committed a multitude of high crimes and misdemeanors in blatant disregard to the laws of Atlasia and his oath of office;

Be it resolved, That Oregon Blue Dog (AKA OBD), President of the Republic of Atlasia, is hereby impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and is hereby subject to all constitutional penalties prescribed by the Constitution and that the attached articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Atlasian Senate; and

Be it further resolved that these articles of impeachment exhibited by the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia be in the name of itself and of the people of the Republic of Atlasia, against Oregon Blue Dog (AKA OBD), President of the Republic of Atlasia, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Article 1: DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS.

In his conduct while President of the Republic of Atlasia—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the Republic of Atlasia and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Oregon Blue Dog engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by depriving Atlasian citizens of their rights in violation of 18 U.S.C. 242.

On April 12, 2022, Oregon Blue Dog signed Executive Order 55:09, unilaterally suspending the right of Habeas Corpus indefinitely, in violation of the Constitution despite no rebellion of invasion taking place, in direct violation of Article III, Section 5, Subsection 1 of the Fifth Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia.

On April 13, 2022, Oregon Blue Dog signed Executive Order 55:10, unilaterally seizing title to untold billions of dollars belonging to the Southern Region and the 2nd largest political party in Atlasia without due process, in violation of the Constitution.

On April 13, 2022, Oregon Blue Dog signed Executive Order 55:11, unilaterally mandating internment of Southern citizens without due process, in violation of the Constitution.

These egregious acts are blatantly criminal under 18 U.S.C. 242 which reads:

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of Atlasia ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both.

(b)With respect to subsection (a)(1), above, the failure to release the victim within twenty-four hours after he shall have been unlawfully seized, confined, inveigled, decoyed, kidnapped, abducted, or carried away shall create a rebuttable presumption that such person has been transported in interstate or foreign commerce. ...

(c)If two or more persons conspire to violate this section and one or more of such persons do any overt act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be punished by imprisonment for any term of years or for life.

Article 5: THEFT UNDER COLOR OF LAW.

This amendment strikes out all instances of references to Executive Order 55:11. Nowhere in that Executive Order is anything about “Southern Citizens” mentioned. Just more farcical and outlandish lies concocted to justify this attack against our President. If you’re gonna impeach someone, don’t lie trying to do it. 

Executive Order 55:11

Whereas the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities as defined in Section 4, Act of April 20, 1918, 40 Stat. 533, as amended by the Act of November 30, 1940, 54 Stat. 1220, and the Act of August 21, 1941, 55 Stat. 655 (U.S.C., Title 50, Sec. 104);

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the Republic of Atlasia, and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I hereby authorize and direct the Attorney General and the Military Commanders whom he may from time to time designate, whenever he or any designated Commander deems such action necessary or desirable, to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine, from which any or all persons may be excluded, and with respect to which, the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions the Attorney General or the appropriate Military Commander may impose in his discretion. The Attorney General is hereby authorized to provide for residents of any such area who are excluded therefrom, such transportation, food, shelter, and other accommodations as may be necessary, in the judgment of the Attorney General or the said Military Commander, and until other arrangements are made, to accomplish the purpose of this order. The designation of military areas in any region or locality shall supersede designations of prohibited and restricted areas by the Attorney General under the Proclamations of December 7 and 8, 1941, and shall supersede the responsibility and authority of the Attorney General under the said Proclamations in respect of such prohibited and restricted areas.

I hereby further authorize and direct the Attorney General and the said Military Commanders to take such other steps as he or the appropriate Military Commander may deem advisable to enforce compliance with the restrictions applicable to each Military area here in above authorized to be designated, including the use of Federal troops and other Federal Agencies, with authority to accept assistance of state and local agencies.

I hereby further authorize and direct all Executive Departments, independent establishments and other Federal Agencies, to assist the Secretary of War or the said Military Commanders in carrying out this Executive Order, including the furnishing of medical aid, hospitalization, food, clothing, transportation, use of land, shelter, and other supplies, equipment, utilities, facilities, and services.



OBD, President of the Republic of Atlasia

This is literally the Japanese internment order.

Text found here to avoid clutter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9066

If your argument is that there is internment outside the South, then the only appropriate amendment is swap southern citizens to citizens.

If you are trying to argue legal culpability, that should occur at the Chief Justice stage.

I of course object to the total deletion. He literally issued the goddamn japanese internment order. Own it. Theres no wiggling out of what it is. The text is the same.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Nay

[Mr. Reactionary]

I second the objection. The South is not bankrupt.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Aye on WB's amendment

[Mr. Reactionary]

Aye. Since the President has said that he is not running for re-election, the PPT is clearly trying to run out the clock for him until a new President swears in.

I misspoke. What I meant to say is that the PPT is gumming up the works in the hopes that the next Senate will acquit.

The PPT has consistently brought Senator CB's frivolous amendments to a vote during the impeachment proceedings. Also, in hindsight, the PPT could gum up the works until July given that Atlasia leans significantly to the left so there is a 50-50 or better chance even with the DA against them that the President's allies could retain the PPT-ship for WD (based off of current census data). Some of my former colleague's (Spark's) proposed legislation was on the floor for months, even up to six months iirc in one case, while being in the minority. With the PPT and the administration against this impeachment, the impeachment could be stalled for a long time.

S019 and CB wrote bills last week that reached the floor literally within hours of being posted. I still have bills I posted in February languishing in the queue awaiting floor time.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Proxy for the final vote: AYE

In the leaks PPT Cataline said he was going to count early proxies as abstentions.

[Mr. Reactionary]

should we tack on conspiracy here, or should we just move on?

Move on.

We can just use the leaks to expel PPT Cataline in the next session.

When, WD, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now? Do not the nightly guards placed on the Capitol Hill—do not the watches posted throughout the city—does not the alarm of the people, and the union of all good men—does not the precaution taken of assembling the senate in this most defensible place—do not the looks and countenances of this venerable body here present, have any effect upon you? Do you not feel that your plans are detected? Do you not see that your conspiracy is already arrested and rendered powerless by the knowledge which every one here possesses of it? What is there that you did last night, what the night before— where is it that you were—who was there that you summoned to meet you—what design was there which was adopted by you, with which you think that any one of us is unacquainted?

Shame on the age and on its principles! The senate is aware of these things; the senators see them; and yet this man walka free, aye he comes even into the senate. He takes a part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter every individual among us. And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.

You ought, WD, long ago to have been led to conviction. That destruction which you have been long plotting against us ought to have already fallen on your own head.

What? Did not that most illustrious man, NC Yankee, put to impeachment Bore, though but slightly undermining the constitution? And shall we, who are the senators, tolerate WD, openly desirous to destroy the whole world with fire and slaughter?  There was—there was once such virtue in this republic, that brave men would repress mischievous citizens with severer chastisement than the most bitter enemy. For we have planned a resolution of the senate, a formidable and authoritative decree against you, WD; the wisdom of the republic is not at fault, nor the dignity of this senatorial body. We, we alone,—I say it openly, —we, the senate, are waiting in our duty.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Aye

[Mr. Reactionary]

That makes 11.

[Mr. Reactionary]

NAY, for the record. What OBD did was harmful to the game, yes, but it was not harmful to the forum community at large. I believe the forum community trumps our little community here, as a result, I am still disgusted that nothing has been done about LT who caused very real harm to the forum community. On principle, I just can't support this unless LT's far worse transgressions are sanctioned in some way (ideally his removal as Southern governor).

lmao

Imagine saying no one should ever be convicted of a crime again until OJ simpson is double jeopardied.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Guilty on all
