impeachable offenses

SCR 1010 proposes amending Arizona's Constitution to clarify grounds for impeaching state officials. It specifies that governors and most state/judicial officers (excluding certain court justices) can be impeached for "high crimes, misdemeanors, malfeasance in office, or failing to enforce state law." If approved by voters, conviction would require a two-thirds Senate vote and result only in removal from office and disqualification from future state office. The bill is a constitutional amendment requiring voter approval at the next general election, as outlined in Article XXI. It directly affects state officials who could face impeachment proceedings under these defined standards.
