COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina legislator says he
expects to introduce a resolution to impeach Republican Gov. Mark
Sanford for skipping the state for five days in June to rendezvous
with his lover.
Republican Rep. Greg Delleney of Chester has drafted the
resolution and expects to introduce it Tuesday afternoon as the
Legislature meets to deal with unemployment benefit issues.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell said he was getting legal briefing
on Delleney's resolution and hasn't decided if he'll allow it to be
introduced.
Some argue the House can't take up more than a handful of
financial issues during this extended session.
But Delleney says those rules don't apply to the House's
constitutional authority to impeach a governor.
