answer to Delegate Willoner is that it requires a con-

2

currence of four of the seven judges that would appoint

3

the ten that would serve on the impeachment panel.

4

DELEGATE BOYER: On reflection, I must concur

5

with you. Thanks for your assistance, Delegate

6

Bamberger. This is, it is true, my recollection of the

7

judicial article. I think I got stampeded into giving an

8

erroneous answer.

9

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Boyles.

10

DELEGATE BOYLES: Delegate Boyer, I take it the

11

impeachment by the House of Delegates makes a trial by

12

the Court of Appeals mandatory?

13

DELEGATE BOYER: No, there is no trial by the

14

Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals would appoint

15

a special tribunal of ten judges.

16

DELEGATE BOYLES: Excuse me. By the judges

17

which the Court of Appeals appoints?

18

DELEGATE BOYER: Yes, after the House of

19

Delegates by a three-fifths vote makes the indictment,

20

then it is mandatory that the special tribunal must conduct

21

a hearing on it.
