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:

    “If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “‘Tis all men’s office to speak patience
    To those that wring under the load of sorrow,
    But no man’s virtue nor sufficiency
    To be so moral when he shall endure
    The like himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
