THE CHAIRMAN: Any further questions?

2

Deleqate Beatrice Miller.

3

DELEGATE BEATRICE MILLER: I notice in the

4

present Constitution there is no provision for the

5

tribunal. What was the thinking of your Committee in

6

adding this section to the section on impeachment?

7

THE CHAIRMAN: I couldn't hear the last. To

8

the section on what?

9

DELEGATE BEATRICE MILLER: On impeachment.

10

Why was the tribunal provided for when it was not in the

11

Constitution?

12

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Boyer.

13

DELEGATE BOYER: We felt that this special

14

tribunal — I don't know how else to say it except to

15

repeat that their expertise and experience and the

16

machinery they have had would be more effective and they

17

would be able to delineate the right from wrong on whether

18

or not there had been a serious charge and whether or

19

not there had been any guilt involved. The Committee

20

felt, I felt, that it was better to have the judges

21

conduct the actual trial rather than the Senate.
