| Article 143-Impeachment commission | ||
| 143.1 | Impeachment | |
| While it is the will of Great Spirit of the Universe that all elected officials of One Spirit Tribe shall perform their duties the greatest respect to this Covenant and to their respective office, it is recognized that there may be times where a man or woman or group of men and women of elected office fail to uphold the article of this Covenant and their respective oath of office. | ||
| Such matters are most serious and require careful consideration, for not only is the act of willful disregard to the principles of elected office to One Spirit Tribe a crime against Islam, so too is the false accusation of any elected official of such a crime. | ||
| Therefore, it is by the wisdom of Great Spirit of the Universe, that elected officials may only be forcibly removed from office through the process of an Impeachment Commission. It is also by the will of Great Spirit of the Universe that all elected officials from the Prophet to the lowest ranked official may be subject to such a commission if sufficient evidence exists and such a commission is deemed to be created by the appropriate elected body of One Spirit Tribe. | ||
| 143.2 | Impeachment commission | |
| An impeachment commission shall exist and function on the principles of fair trial by a jury of fair representation of peers according to the belief of innocence until the proof of guilt by evidence. | ||
| All impeachment commissions shall follow the primary procedural guidelines as set forth by this Covenant, including: | ||
| (i) The approval by a certified Justice of One Spirit Tribe for the collection and preparation of evidence to support the creation of a warrant for crimes committed against One Spirit Tribe by the accused and any alleged co-conspirators; | ||
| (ii) Bill to form an Impeachment Commission presented to the appropriate elected body under the correct terms of jurisdiction, citing the certified warrants (preliminary evidence) for the Impeachment of one or more Elected Officials; | ||
| (iiii) The passing of the Bill for the formation of the Impeachment Commission under the terms listed in the Bill, with the appointment of a Leading Prosecuting Counsel (the Prosecutor), a Lead Defence Counsel (the Defence), a panel of three (3) justice of the courts of One Spirit Tribe at the same level as the Impeachment Commission, a jury of 12 members. | ||
| 143.3 | Terms of jurisdiction of an impeachment commission | |
| Fundamentally, an impeachment commission cannot be formed by a lower elected body for the charge of impeachment of an elected official belonging to a higher elected body. A Bill to form an impeachment commission may only be formed for the charge against an elected official of the same level of the organisation or lower. | ||
| Therefore, by this Covenant, an Impeachment Commission against the Supreme Executive Government of One Spirit Tribe may only be formed by the Supreme Council itself. | ||
| An Impeachment Commission against any national official of One Spirit Tribe may only be formed by the Supreme Council or the appropriate National Senate. | ||
| An Impeachment Commission against any national regional official of One Spirit Tribe may only be formed by the Supreme Council, appropriate national senate or the appropriate regional assembly. | ||
