CHARLESTON – The full state Senate will vote on a resolution saying state courts have no authority to interfere with impeachment proceedings in the House or state Senate.
On March 8, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed House Joint Resolution 2. The House of Delegates passed it last week. The full Senate would have to pass it by a two-thirds vote because it could result in a constitutional amendment. If that’s the case, voters would decide on that in the 2022 General Election.
“The House of Delegates shall have sole power of impeachment,” the state Constitution currently reads. “The Senate shall have sole power to try impeachment.”

The West Virginia Record. Mr. Williams s lawsuit loudly proclaims that our client is a liar. Over the last year, we have reached out to Mr. Williams’ attorneys seeking evidence of this claim. To date, Mr. Williams has refused to respond to many of our questions. Hancock At this point, it’s clear that only a court order will compel Mr. Williams to meet his obligations under the rules, so we filed a motion seeking one.
