Bill > HR0165

This Resolution directs the impeachment of Dana M. Nessel, the Attorney General of Michigan, for alleged corrupt conduct in office, as permitted by Article XI, Section 7 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, which grants the House of Representatives the sole power to impeach civil officers for corrupt conduct. The resolution outlines three articles of impeachment: first, that Nessel failed to fulfill her duty to charge individuals responsible for submitting fraudulent voter registration applications, despite evidence found in an October 2020 investigation; second, that Nessel abused her position by bringing felony charges against individuals for election law forgery and related offenses, while simultaneously stating that these individuals genuinely believed their actions were justified, which contradicts the element of intent to defraud required for such charges; and third, that Nessel created the appearance of impropriety by improperly inquiring about an investigation into Traci Kornak, a former associate, before that investigation was formally closed, potentially influencing its outcome and hindering her ability to secure a judicial appointment. Following the adoption of these articles, the House of Representatives will proceed to elect three members to prosecute the impeachment case before the Senate.
