“Unfortunately 328-0 does not meet the statutorily required number of Rada votes needed to impeach the President as per the Ukrainian constitution.”
The former President Yanukovych removed himself from the office of the president by his unconstitutional resignation to the leadership of the Verhovna Rada and by his vacation of his duties with his defection to a foreign state, so the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) complied with the Constitution in Article 85 Clause 7 by providing for the election needed to fulfill the position as required by the Constitution.
In addition to which these ‘votes’ were taken under duress with an armed mob surrounding the parliament building threatening violence.”
Under clause 7 of part one of article 85 of the Constitution of Ukraine
The myriad falsehoods about “verbal” resignations, the number of votes needed to impeach, and the other machinations of the post-coup Rada are easily disproved.
My suggestion is that you stop drinking the US State Dept. toilet water, as it makes you sound like a... Clintonista.
“The myriad falsehoods about “verbal” resignations, the number of votes needed to impeach, and the other machinations of the post-coup Rada are easily disproved.”
Article 108[edit]
The President of Ukraine exercises his or her powers until the assumption of office by the newly-elected President of Ukraine.
The powers of the President of Ukraine terminate prior to the expiration of term in cases of:
1.resignation;
2.inability to exercise his or her powers for reasons of health;
3.removal from office by the procedure of impeachment;
4.death.
Article 109[edit]
The resignation of the President of Ukraine enters into force from the moment he or she personally announces the statement of resignation at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
If Yanukovych had reason to dispute his resignation, it was his duty to remain in the Ukraine and bring his dispute before the Constitutional Court. Yanukovych failed to perform his duties and obligation to defend his position before the Constitutional Court. Therefor Yanukovych does not have any legal basis for his complaints, but his opponents have very strong cases to bring Yanukovych to trial for his criminal acts.
“My suggestion is that you stop drinking the US State Dept. toilet water, as it makes you sound like a... Clintonista.”
Your standards of false Soviet-Russian propaganda are obviously slipping very badly with juvenile taunts like that.
Yanukovich didn’t resign dumkopf...either “verbally” or otherwise.
“Yanukovich didn’t resign dumkopf...either “verbally” or otherwise.”
The Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) says he did resign, and did so virtually unanimously. If he did not resign, then he was criminally negligent in the way he abandoned his office and failed to go to the Constitutional Court. Since he resigned the position of President before, he already knew how to go about doing it a second time. Anyone who wants to pretend Yanukovych did not resign, including Yanukovych, can either take the dispute to the Constitutional Court to prove the allegation or be dismissed as a liar and a fraud.
