Political Law, 2011 Bar — Question 28

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Upon endorsement from the Senate where it was first mistakenly filed, the House of Representatives Committee on Justice found the verified complaint for impeachment against the President sufficient in form but insufficient in substance. Within the same year, another impeachment suit was filed against the President who questioned the same for being violative of the Constitution. Is the President correct? (A) No, “initiated” means the Articles of Impeachment have been actually filed with the Senate for trial; this did not yet happen. (B) No, the first complaint was not deemed initiated because it was originally filed with the Senate. (C) Yes, the dismissal of the first impeachment proceeding bars the initiation of another during the same term of the President. (D) Yes, no impeachment proceeding can be filed against the President more than once within a year.
