North Dakota’s constitution
Impeachment of Thomas H. Moodie (governor) in 1935[edit]
Twelve days after his inauguration, he was impeached by the North Dakota House of Representatives. The impeachment had officially been for unspecified "crime, corrupt conduct, malfeasance and misdemeanors in office", but was known to be centered upon his eligibility for office. The attorney general of the state considered the House impeachment an "incomplete" action, since the House did not submit impeachment managers or present the articles of impeachment to the Senate.[2]
The impeachment was halted after the North Dakota Supreme Court took up a challenge to his qualification to office and ultimately removed him from office.[1]
