Will Mark Sanford Be Impeached?
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is facing new allegations of travel improprieties, but Chris Good of the Atlantic explains some of the obstacles to impeachment:
Impeachment may not be the likeliest scenario. The state
legislature is out of session, and it won't come back until January. It
could reconvene at the agreement of the Speaker of the House and the
president pro tempore of the Senate, but that looks a bit murky, as the
resolution that adjourned the legislature in May lists the reasons it
can return before January, and impeachment isn't one of them.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
