Impeachment is a word the American public is now quite familiar with. But here in New York, it's a somewhat different process, one that has only been done once before. It happened more than a century ago in 1913, when Gov. William Sulzer was removed from office (the only governor to hold that distinction).
"The real lesson is that if you're going to impeach someone, you better be sure of your facts and you better be sure people really understand those facts," said Jack O'Donnell, who wrote a book about Sulzer's impeachment. "The impeachment process in New York is fairly similar to the federal system. The assembly can impeach by a mere majority."
The state impeachment process is somewhat vague and, experts say, open to interpretation
That said, there is a process in our state constitution. The Assembly will vote to impeach, and if the articles are approved, the state Senate and Court of Appeals will be the jurors
