Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has been on the ropes for a while now. The origins of the story all boil down to allegations of improper relations with an aide which Okay. Lets just say it.

But the initial deed led to some complicating factors which the legislature sees as grounds for removal. After one judge put a hold on any impeachment action, the state supreme court turned that around and ruled that they could move forward.
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley will face impeachment hearings beginning Monday after the state Supreme Court gave lawmakers the greenlight to move ahead with an effort to oust the governor, who is fighting to stay in office amid fallout from an affair with a top aide.

I was born and raised in SE Arkansas so I am not being unfair to anyone. Fifty years ago is vastly different from now, and I have nothing but love for Southerners where all my birth family still is.
My late wife and I had planned to retire to Eastern Tennessee.
Congratulations Governor Kay Ivey!!
Whoa! Hold on there. We do NOT want Vivian Figures anywhere near the office of governor.
Is she the Lt. Governor and a RINO too?
In Alternate Universe Alabama, we do :)
