Greitens and his Lt. Governor Mike Parson have both called on the state legislature to vote to remove Chappelle-Nadal.
If she will not resign, the Senate can vote to remove her. I believe they should.

Parson said has Chappelle-Nadal until a Sept. 15 veto session to resign, FOX2 St. Louis reported. After that, he said he would use executive authority “pursuant to Article III, Section 18 of the Missouri Constitution” to call for the senate to vote.
I hope she stays in and then gets tossed out by the Senate vote. It would be the first I’ve seen RATS actually do the right thing.
