    "content": "Of course, we do not anticipate that during the lifetime of this Parliament, someone will want to impeach the President or the Deputy President. However, we will, of course, see many impeachments of governors. That wisdom is, therefore, needed, explaining why we will need Speakers who have Solomonic wisdom so as to ensure that they agree within three days. After the three days, if in the wisdom of the Speaker, the Motion is approved, then that matter should be disposed of with the Moving of the Motion as required within 14 days. Someone might ask what the law provides for if the Speaker rejects the Motion. We have followed the principles of natural justice, where one must give reasons for decisions made. If it is the reason of procedure or if it was done in bad faith or that it does not comply with the Constitution or any tradition and many other laws that govern our country, especially the supreme law--- It is then after that time, I do not want to dwell so much on the details, that the National Assembly must be seized of, or dispose of the matter within seven days. After that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the matter is approved, it shall be transmitted to the Speaker of the Senate within two days and, therefore, it will not proceed. Clause 5(1) states that- “Pursuant to Article 145(3) of the Constitution, within seven days after receiving the notice of a resolution from the Speaker of the National Assembly under section 4(8)(a) (a)The Speaker of the Senate shall convene a meeting of the Senate to hear charges against the President.” This is very important, and that is why we are calling the Senate a trial chamber."
