Impeachment Statement for Peter de Sarkozy, 1758

[Piov 2643]

IMPERIAL SENATE 

 

Concerning the Impeachment Inquiry 

of Peter de Sarkozy

 

13th of Sigismund's End, 1758

 

To my colleagues and to the Orenian people, 

 

Two years ago, the Senate voted to move forward with consideration for Articles of Impeachment against the conduct and character of the Secretary of the Treasury, Peter de Sarkozy. After much time in consideration of this motion before us, I, as Chairman of the Imperial Senate Committee on Justice, have seen it fit to not pursue further actions for the removal of the aforementioned. While we in the Senate categorically disagree with the actions taken by the Treasurer, we do believe that pursuing his coordinated collaboration in our oversight efforts would warrant more fruitful results for the sake of the public and of government integrity. 

 

Therefore, I am announcing that the Imperial Senate will not be pursuing further action into the impeachment of Mister de Sarkozy. However, we have proceeded with a motion to pass a writ of censure upon the Treasurer for his disregard of our laws and the character of his testimony as an obstruction to our oversight. We hope that the Secretary and his colleagues in the Council of State become more mindful of their role to duly enforce and execute the laws of the Emperor. 

 

Signed,

Imperial Senator of the Kingdom of Haense, Chairman of the Imperial Senate Committee on Justice
