General Assembly decide that a particular officer ought

5

just what kind of an officer is intended to be included

there?

DELEGATE BOYER: This is parallel to Delegate

8

Bamberger's question, and I concede that there might be a

9

misunderstanding of who is or who is not a state officer.

10

The intention is to remove from public office anybody who

11

may be guilty of a reason to be removed and Delegate

12

Grant has, I know, an amendment that I hope will clear

13

up a state officer who may be delegated by law.

14

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Bothe.

15

DELEGATE BOTHE: I think you misunderstand my

16

As I read this section it appears that the

18

words "designated by law" could mean either that the

19

General Assembly decides by law that a particular officer

20

ought to be impeached or that a particular office is

21

subject to impeachment?
