Impeachment
The House of Representatives shall have the Power of Impeachment.
Impeachment votes shall be scaled to the importance of the person being tried: 67% of all those present for President, Vice President and the Supreme Court, 60% for lesser judges and cabinet members, 55% for all others.
Any members not present will be considered to have voted Yes but Not Present for impeachment. The vote will not be counted in the majority vote.
The House of Representatives has the right to impeach any person in the government employ except as noted elsewhere in this Constitution.
Impeachment shall be handled similarly to any court case. The House shall designate prosecutors, defenders, witnesses and judges to render a fair indictment of impeachment.
If the matter concerns an official government secret, then Congress shall devise a secret hearing so they may hear the testimony. The Public must be informed in general terms what the charge of impeachment concerns.
The House may not bring a charge of impeachment against one of its own members. That charge shall be brought and tried by the Senate.
Upon a finding of impeachment for any person, the charge shall be sent to the Senate for immediate consideration except in the case of a charge against a Senator.
The charge shall also be sent to the FBI for a complete investigation. The results of that investigation shall be made public and sent to the Senate except in the case of a charge against a Senator. In that case, the results of the investigation shall be sent to the House.
Treaties
The House of Representatives shall have the Power to vote for or against treaties. A majority vote of 2/3 of those Representatives present is needed. Once the Senate has voted, the treaty must be sent to the House for an immediate up or down vote. Those members absent will be recorded as a Yes Not Present vote and the vote will not be counted in the majority vote.
Continuation in Office
There must be an annual audit of the Representatives’ financial accounts and the audits must be placed in the public record.
No Representative may hire any family member.
No Representative may recommend any family member for any job in any government.
No Representative may have business dealings with any business doing business with the government.
No Representative may have business dealings with any family member.
No Representative shall have more than three assistants and more than two offices.
A Representative shall be subject to a recall at the will of the voters in his district providing that the recall petition is legally signed by 10% of the Adult Citizens in that district. The petition must be submitted for verification within three months after the petition is opened. The certification or non-certification of the petition will occur one month after the petition is submitted. The State legislature shall set the date of the recall election to be within one month of the certification of the recall. Any subsequent election to fill that seat in the event the recall succeeds will be held within one month of the recall vote. Each State will make their own laws further defining these events.
