- Title
IMPEACHMENT.
- Abstract
The article presents information about a court's decision regarding impeachment. The article refers to the Robin versus Hayes case (warden, 143 N. Y. Supp. 325). The court gives its decision on when power may be exercised. The constitution empowers the assembly to impeach the governor, but it does not specify when the power shall be exercised, and the assembly is the sole judge of the time as well as the grounds of impeachment, free from control by the executive or the courts. Hence the impeachment of the governor by the assembly while in extraordinary session is valid, though constitutional article 4 and section 4, provides that no subject shall be acted on at such a session except such as the governor recommends, and it had not been recommended, as the power of impeachment is a judicial and not a legislative power and one that should always be independent of outside control.
