A resolution directing the impeachment of Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State of the state of Michigan, for corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors.
This resolution proposes impeaching Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson under Article XI, Section 7 of the Michigan Constitution, alleging she violated her oath by exceeding her legal authority and breaching election laws. It specifically cites her failure to follow state rulemaking procedures (Administrative Procedures Act) when issuing election guidance, ignoring court rulings on her policies, and an affiliated PAC's campaign contribution to a Supreme Court justice during an active case challenging her actions. The resolution formally directs impeachment proceedings against her for "corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors." It does not enact new policy but initiates a constitutional process to remove her from office.
