14.Attach a copy of your local resolution.

15.Sign the petition letter using an original authorizing signature. It cannot be a copy, fax or stamp.

16.Petitions without an original signature will be rejected so this is extremely important.

17.The signature must be from the head of the group, or whoever else has the authority to sign for the group. For a town that is typically the Mayor and/or City Clerk. Your town may be different.

19.The petition will then be given to the Parliamentarian Office. They are a non-partisan office and do not reject petitions as long as it has an original signature. They will decide which committee it will go to. Impeachment charges are generally referred to the Judiciary Committee.

20.The petition will then be sent to the Legislative Resource Center and "laid on the desk of the Clerk".

21.The Clerk of the House of Representatives will assign the "Petition" to the House Judiciary Committee based on the recommendation from the Parliamentarian Office. (see warnings).

22. KEY JUDICIARY COUNCIL -  LOS ANGELES’  CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES - This Committee has a large number of Los Angeles representatives.  It is especially noteworthy and worht focusing on because it considers the charges and adopts a resolution to conduct an inquiry.  The 5 Los Angeles Congressional representatives on the US Judiciary Council are very important to focus on (in presentation meetings & handwritten letters are -- by far -- the most effective tools!).  The 5 reps we are focusing on are (1) Maxine Waters (35th District), (2) Howard Berman (28th District), Adam Schiff (29th District), (4) Brad Sherman (27th District) and (5) Linda Sanchez (39th District).   

23.The resolution is sent from the Judiciary Committee to the House floor for a vote as a "question of privilege".

24.House of Representatives votes and passes the resolution by a majority vote.

25.The House Judiciary Committee conducts the inquiry or investigation into the crimes.

26.The House Judiciary Committee approves articles of impeachment by a majority.

27.The House of Representative debates each article and passes at least one with a majority vote. The US president is now officially "impeached".

28.The Senate conducts a trial and convicts with a 2/3 majority vote.  The President and hopefully his VP and others, are removed from office.  Celebrate.
