As long as you don't hire lawyers and call in a tribunal,
removal from office will work smoothly with straight polling.
That is... if a minister does something really stupid.
Then maybe 2/3 will vote yes?

I know it's easier to say 'impeached' i do it too, i just felt like throwing in a random factoid. And if the entire government does collapse due to rampant idiotic and meaningless impeachements, then i would be fairly sure that we (after fleeing the country and obtaining political asylum on tiny far distant islands) would be able to start a new game or an older copy of the same game with more stringent impeachment rules.

Yes, 2/3 is probably the best choice. However, I wouldn't expect many people to get impeached. If someone deliberately sabotages the game they wouldn't be able to show their face here again. As for inept minesters, they would probably be weeded out in the election polls.

hi ,

maybe due to a given situation the minister can tell everything , so the senate should meet behind closed doors , when the evidence is correct , or when there is a matter that is important to the security and well-being of the country , the senate reserves the right to say what they think would be the best course of action , .....

have a nice day

We need to have the power to impeach, but it would be unstabilizing if a less than 2/3 majority was required.

hi ,

impeach is one thing , remove an other , ...

and the senate could even argue for lets say a second vote if only 60% voted to impeach but only 1-5% against it , ....

have a nice day
