Former President Dennis McVicker started a proposition listing articles of impeachment against President The Teacher.
In the proposition McVicker charges the president with five counts of violating the Constitution and one count of violating Titulian law. The president has been missing for nearly eleven days now, and no government business has been finalized in her absence.
In an Interview with the former president he stated that as of early this morning three additional counts of violating the Constitution could be added to the articles of impeachment. McVicker went on to say "I have also contacted Admin with the updated articles of impeachment and asked them to weigh in on it, if only to clarify if the people had the authority to hold impeachment proceedings."
Due to her absence the president was not available for comment.

After one week, question still remains...Where is the Teacher?
Titulia City - It's official, 7 full days and still no word on the whereabouts of The Teacher. The Republic is balanced on a constitutional crisis. Currently there are several proposals being pushed that deal specifically about this issue, and answers better be coming soon.
It was assumed that William Money would be in fact assuming the roll as President in Teachers absence. But some question by Mr. Tom Norton as to the legality of this issue has resulted in a constitutional change request in the form of a proposal.
Amendment to Article III (5)
It is proposed that Article III: The Presidency be amended, as follows:
WHEREAS Article III, Section 5 states:
"The President will be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".
It is moved that the existing section be RENAMED as subsection 'A'; and the ADDITION of a subsection 'B', to include:
"that the citizens of Titulia have the authority to call a 'Bill of Impeachment' of the President of the Republic or any member of the Executive Branch such as the Vice President of the Republic, Attorney General, Minister or any other public servant serving in the Executive Branch who either abandons their post, or does not report to work for a period of five (5) days or more.
For the purpose of defining "report to work" such definition shall be given to these officials, as listed:
i) performing work as elected or confirmed by the citizens to undertake; and
ii) are required to perform said work and publish such through blog, forum or public medium".
NOTICE IS GIVEN that this amendment only refers to the stated amendment within the context of Article III (5) of the Constitution of the Republic and is not intended to impede upon the Judicial Branch, which is governed by the General Court Reform Act 2009
This proposal is authored by Tom J Norton, and is an attempt to rectify any future questions as to who takes over the presidency when the president abandons their post. It's now almost a foregone conclusion that The Teacher has abrogated her responsibilities in the most egregious way possible. There still has been very little in terms of communication from her Vice President as well on this issue.
At this point The Herald is recommending that citizens support this initiative so the Republic is restored to order.

Where is the president?
Titulia City - Growing concern has been expressed in Titulia regarding the whereabouts of the newly re-elected president of our Republic. Even her own cabinet members are expressing concern as shown by Gregory Hock in a recent constitutional proposal submitted by Tom Norton.pressing issues in real life.
Gregory is quoted as writing the following, "
I really support this prop. As much as I am a supporter of the Teacher, even I am disappointed as of late. But I think that although their office should be dealt with as discussed above, remember that there is real life stuff that trump Titulia. So is the President doing her job: no. But there most likely are real life circumstances behind this...and keep that in mind when we interact with them as citizens upon their return. I'm in no way inferring that these are excuses to be used, but rather there will be a former President that should not lose respect because they had more pressing issues in real life.
Tom J Norton, who has been very glowing in his praise of the President, also pointed out rather eloquently, "As much as I respect President Teacher, the required reform in Article III speaks to the Office of the President of the Republic, which is greater then one person" his comments came as a result of an earlier proposal from Dennis McVicker that suggested impeachment as a possible option for abandonment of a post.
The real question is succession of the presidency. Does the Republic have a clear and defined succession policy for it's executive branch. Clearly there is a Vice President at this time. In the past, Vice Presidents were known to step to the plate and serve the people when the president was away. Case in point was during Alex Pijanowski's administration, Alex had a family vacation he had to attend, and Dennis McVicker took over as his Vice President for the days he was away from the Republic.
Interestling enough, Dennis McVicker was also the first president who did not run with a Vice President when he beat Luxis Avaram to win his first and currently only term as president of the Republic. Then ill fated Trvseeker (Jason Ragen's) administration ended with the president resigning without a Veep to assume the presidency.
The big question is where is the Vice President? William Money is more then qualified to assume the role as president until Teachers return. The simple fact that he has not and that Madam President has not communicated that temporary transition is troubling to say the least. At this time there has been no comment from the Vice President or anyone from his party.
