> 61. Procedure for impeachment of the President.-(1) When a
President is to be impeached for violation of the Constitution, the charge shall be
preferred by either House of Parliament.
(2) No such charge shall be preferred unless-
(a) the proposal to prefer such charge is contained in a resolution
which has been moved after at least fourteen days' notice in writing signed
by not less than one-fourth of the total number of members of the House
has been given of their intention to move the resolution, and
(b) such resolution has been passed by a majority of not less than twothirds of the total membership of the House.
(3) When a charge has been so preferred by either House of Parliament,
the other House shall investigate the charge or cause the charge to be investigated
and the President shall have the right to appear and to be represented at such
investigation.
(4) If as a result of the investigation a resolution is passed by a majority
of not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the House by which the
charge was investigated or caused to be investigated, declaring that the charge
preferred against the President has been sustained, such resolution shall have the
effect of removing the President from his office as from the date on which the
