They’re basically telling him that he faces impeachment if he tries to stay in office.
“of the State Corporation Commission, and all officers appointed by the Governor or elected by the General Assembly, offending against the Commonwealth by malfeasance in office, corruption, neglect of duty, or other high crime or misdemeanor may be impeached by the House of Delegates and prosecuted before the Senate, which shall have the sole power to try impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, the senators shall be on oath or affirmation, and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators present. Judgment in case of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the Commonwealth; but the person convicted shall nevertheless be subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to law. The Senate may sit during the recess of the General Assembly for the trial of impeachments.”
I can see the Rs voting against him for his abortion remarks, but no reason for the Dems.
I think he would beat impeachment. But maybe he won’t risk it, thinking the Dems will do anything to get Fairfax in.
Crazy that they’d impeach him over a racist picture since that’s not even close to a crime. Democrats have turned impeachment into a tool for removing problematic politicians for literally any old reason.
