THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Scanlan.

2

DELEGATE SCANLAN: The model Constitution

3

recommends a special tribunal much as your Committee

4

has. In doing so, one of the reasons they give is that

5

having the special tribunal would remove the special

6

impeachments from the legislature and remove the procedure

7

from partisan politics. Was that one of the reasons why

8

you took into account naming a special tribunal?

9

DELEGATE BOYER: Thanks very much, Delegate

10

Scanlan. I couldn't have said it better myself.

11

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Willoner.

12

DELEGATE WILLONER: You confused me when you

13

referred to the Court of Appeals choosing the ten judges

14

by sitting en banc. Do you mean the majority of the Court

15

of Appeals as four out of seven or a majority of the

16

quorum that sits?

17

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Boyer.

18

DELEGATE BOYER: I am advised that the House

19

of Delegates in their impeachment proceeding would have

20

to have a three-fifths vote and this would carry over to

21

the ten judge tribunal.
