My understanding is that by the recently reinstated 2004 constitution which Yanukovich got the courts to throw out in 2010 there are two ways to remove the president One is impeachment which is a three step process that requires a 2 3 vote a 3 4 vote and supreme court ratification The other is removal for health reasons which is a majority vote It s unclear to me which of these parliament followed or whether parliament just figured that since Yanukovich was happy to ignore the constitution they would too since the vote or votes against him have been unanimous In fact I came here to get clarification on it and found no mention even of the vote which should definitely appear whether or not it is either legal or ultimately upheld
