Best Answer

Impeachment proceedings are started by people in the Senate who represent the interests of the People. That is why no impeachment proceedings have been started against the acting president.

What are articles of impeachment?

Articles of Impeachment are precise statement of the facts upon which an impeachment of a government official is based. In the US Constitution under Article I Section 3, for example, the President can be impeached and removed only for Treason, Bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. The House of Representatives draws up and votes on the Articles of Impeachment stating the facts that allegedly amount to those offenses. Articles of Impeachment are likened to the counts of an indictment against a defendant in a criminal case.Note: Impeachment refers to the process. Impeachment does not mean removal. A conviction for impeachment means automatic removal from office.


Can Stephen Harper be impeached?

The status of impeachment as a tool to hold Government accountable is uncertain.As Canada shares a constitutional framework with the pre-1867 United Kingdom, and since impeachment remained at that time an option for the United Kingdom House of Commons to pursue, it can be argued that the Canadian House of Commons continues to enjoy impeachment authority pursuant to s. 18 of the Constitution Act, 1867. However, the status and authority of the Senate to decide on that impeachment (as the House of Lords would do for the United Kingdom House of Commons) is unclear.Some scholars have argued that the power of impeachment is obsolete now that the Government is responsible to the House of Commons. It would be much easier for a prime minister to be removed through a defeat in the House of Commons and subsequent elections, than it would be to navigate the untested constitutional waters of impeachment.
