How many signatures do you need to impeach someone out of a political office?

Question

How many signatures were collected for the impeachment of Grey Davis

not talkin bout bush

Answer 1

Governor Grey Davis was NOT impeached... there was a recall election in 2003.

In the case of California the number of signatures gathered for a recall election must equal 12% of the number of votes cast in the previous elections. For the 2003 recall elections, that meant a minimum of 900,000 signatures, based on the November 2002 statewide elections. In the end, there were 1,363,411 valid signatures out of 1,660,245 collected.

Impeachment is a legal proceeding within an elected legislature... signatures are the issue... it's getting the members of the State or Federal House to introduce legislation to open Impeachment HEARINGS !!

Answer 2

Grey Davis was recalled and they voted all over gain. In Bush's case it has to be a Congress and Senator Vote. Senate always count the most. I don't know if it is up and down or 60/40. Congress impeached Clinton but the Senate did not, Thank goodness.
I do wish they would hurry up and get Bush, Cheney and Rice impeached. I understand Cheney has a blood clot in his leg their giving him blood thinner if that travels to his heart or brain then he'll be gone anyway., because he has had so many heart attacks and heart problems. He has survived more heart problem than any man I've ever seen, survives them all. I guess good Doctors keep a close watch on him.

Answer 3

None, names doesn't get people impeached regardless of what you've been told. It takes an act of congress and there's nothing 100 million signatures can do about it so go whine somewhere else.

By the way, you have a funny name for someone talking about impeaching someone.

Answer 4

Each constitution maybe different on such an issue.

Answer 5

i think it is umm over 85 but you should look it up on the internet not for people opinions
