I was surprised by this, just as I’m sure Governor Mark Sanford is at the moment. The legislative panel debating how to punish the South Carolina Governor voted against impeaching Sanford, but rather rebuke him formally. The panel’s lead Rep. James Harrison stated, “We can’t impeach for hypocrisy. We can’t impeach for arrogance. We can’t impeach an officeholder for his lack of leadership skills.” This might be true, but it can be argued that he abandoned his position – an action that would be an impeachable offense.
Is anyone else surprised by today’s announcement?
