Some people seemed to be confused about the process on discord, so I posted the relevant part of the constitution for referenced in both threads.

Correction:

Since one cannot impeach a senator, impeachment will be defined as expulsion from the senate. The procedures are operating under expulsion rather than impeachment

What?

A "senator" cannot be impeached", a senator can only be expelled or censored.

Active support for an illegal, secessionist rebellion is unfortunately a deal-breaker and means he cannot continue to serve in our nation's Senate. It is a shame the damage YT has done to the game and how good people have been caught in his schemes, but we will rebuild even stronger.

How was this conclusion reached? Since it seems a rather sudden shift in constitutional interpretation, without much explanation.

Changing what this is exactly in the middle of the final vote seems a bit off to me.

Uh, no. Federal officials and judges can all be impeached. Literally from the Constitution:

Quote
The Senate shall have the sole power to adopt and try articles of impeachment. No articles of impeachment shall be adopted without the concurrence of three-fifths of the voting Senators. The Chief Justice shall preside over all trials of impeachment save when the impeachment is against a sitting member of the Supreme Court. No person shall be convicted on any article of impeachment without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the Senate. In all cases, the penalty for conviction shall be removal from office and disqualification from any office under the Republic of Atlasia for a period not exceeding two years.

These articles remain impeachment articles and they cannot be changed in the middle of the final vote so I kindly ask our senators to disregard this.

I'll leave responsability for the further handling of the impeachment process over to co-deputy PPT Sirius and PPT Scott.
