A.3. Failure of Duty

Suppose the President refuses to carry out a duty or exceeds their authority. In that case, any ten sitting members of Congress, regardless of chamber, may submit a formal complaint to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who must review the complaint within ten (10) days. If the Chief Justice finds clear and convincing evidence that the President has exceeded or abandoned their lawful role, they shall transmit a certification of that fact to the Speaker of the House. The Speaker shall introduce Articles of Impeachment immediately upon receipt.

This referral does not presume guilt but constitutes a constitutional obligation to investigate and, if warranted, prosecute the matter.
