California CodesCalifornia Constitution - CONSArticle IV — LegislativeSection 18
(a) The Assembly has the sole power of impeachment. Impeachments shall be tried by the Senate. A person may not be convicted unless, by rollcall vote entered in the journal, two thirds of the membership of the Senate concurs.
(b) State officers elected on a statewide basis, members of the State Board of Equalization, and judges of state courts are subject to impeachment for misconduct in office. Judgment may extend only to removal from office and disqualification to hold any office under the State, but the person convicted or acquitted remains subject to criminal punishment according to law.
Notes
Establishes Assembly sole impeachment power and Senate trials, requiring recorded rollcall concurrence of two-thirds of all Senators for conviction. Applies to statewide elected officers, Board of Equalization members, and state judges for official misconduct; judgment may only remove and disqualify, while acquittal or conviction leaves criminal liability under law unaffected.
