The resolution proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would allow an impeached officer to remain in office while their impeachment trial is pending. Currently, the Texas Constitution mandates that officers facing impeachment are suspended from their duties during the trial process. The amendment seeks to change this provision, ensuring that impeached officials can continue to perform their responsibilities until a final decision is made regarding their impeachment.
If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which aims to alter the existing rules surrounding the suspension of officers during impeachment proceedings.
