Altendorf Walz Impeachment

Representative Pam Altendorf (R-Red Wing) and four other Republicans in the Minnesota House have signed on to introduce impeachment articles against Gov. Tim Walz.

KTTC reports their resolution accuses Walz of corrupt conduct in office for his response to fraud findings and allegations within social services programs.

The four-article resolution was introduced Monday, with Altendorf the only local author to the legislative document.

In order to achieve the required majority vote of 68, one Democrat would have to cross party lines and every Republican would need to support the measure.

In the Senate, 12 DFLers would need to back the articles of impeachment, along with all 33 Senate Republicans.

No Minnesota governor has ever been successfully impeached and removed from office.

A House resolution for the impeachment of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has also been introduced, which is also tied to the topic of fraud.
