President of The Czech Republic - Removal From Office

Removal From Office

Aside from death, there are only three things which can effect a president's removal from office:

  1. A president can resign by notifying the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.
  2. He or she may be deemed unable to execute his duties for "serious reasons" by a joint resolution of the Senate and the Chamber – although the president may appeal to the Constitutional Court have this resolution overturned.
  3. He or she may be impeached by the Senate for high treason, and convicted by the Constitutional Court.

Famous quotes containing the words removal and/or office:

    “Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Consul. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
