H Tower has called for the impeachment of judge Gilgamensch, who would soon be entering his second month of three in office.
The constitution, article V, section 2 sets the exact proceedings in this matter:
H Tower claims (in this thread) that Gilgamensch is not performing his duties as judge – he has not posted since Dec 16th and the last time he was online was Dec 26th.
The court has reviewed H Tower’s call and has come to the conclusion that there are proper and legal grounds for this impeachment (ruling in this thread):
The public is now called upon to vote on this matter.
In order to be passed, this poll requires a quorum of one-third of the members of the CTP2-DemoGame-Civgroup, which at the moment would be 13 votes (including the abstains) and a simple majority of the yes over no votes. The poll expires in three days, January 16th, 9:10pm GMT

The court has reviewed H Tower’s call and has come to the conclusion that there are proper and legal grounds for this impeachment (ruling in this thread):
As stated in the constitution article V, section 2-b the court has to vote to determine if there are proper and legal grounds for impeachment. Since Gilgamensch is member of the court he shall not take part in this decision but is replaced by our President Pedrunn for this issue only, article V, section 2-c.
This court has convened and has come to the following conclusions:
A Democracy Game like ours relies on its elected officials. If they disappear without notice the game cannot function. While article II, section 1-f clearly requires executive members to appoint delegates when they are not around, the constitution says nothing like this about judges. If two judges do not show up though, the court would be rendered dysfunctional. It is the conviction of this court, that the intent in the constitution is clear: Elected officials are required to act in their positions and fulfill their duties throughout their term. If they do not the game is slowed down unnecessarily and can be seriously damaged. Therefore the court is stating that by not showing up for more than two weeks, Gilgamensch has infringed the constitution. We confirm that there are proper and legal grounds for the impeachment of Gilgamensch. It will be up to the people of this country to decide now.
