Impeachment of Clark Kent

### Cause

Attempting to influence City Councilman Stephen B. David to change his vote on the understanding of the Superhero Act

## Council Votes

### Result

Impeached (removed from office), 4 votes neccessary for conviction

The impeachment of Clark Kent was initiated shortly after the end of the 1st session of the 13th LEGO City Council, when City Councilman Thomas J. Konju raised an impeachment charge against Kent, stating that he had violated council rules by attempting to get City Councilman Stephen B. David to change his vote on the Superhero Act.

Kent became the 4th LEGO City Councilman to be impeached after Bobbert, Peter Parker, and Bail Organa. The trial was held in the City Council Chamber, with Chief Justice George Washington presiding. The Council convicted Kent on the charge with a 4-1 vote in favor of impeachment, exceding the 2/3 majority needed.

Kent was removed from office and banned from holding the office of Councilman or anything higher, although this ban was lifted when he was pardoned by President Marty McFly. Kent's substitute Jor-El will assume office at the 3rd meeting of the 13th Council.

## Background

During the 2nd meeting of the 13th LEGO City Council, City Councilman Clark Kent from Sector 2, raised a proposition that the Superhero Act would be recognized as meaning that superheroes could fight crime and face no penalties for damages caused by the fight. After the city council voted, Kent slowed down time except for himself and City Councilman Stephen B. David, attempting to get David, who had voted nay, to change his vote. Kent's attempts failed, and the vote came to a 3-3 tie. President Marty McFly ultimately allowed the bill to pass with a few alterations.

Once David stated what Kent had done, Councilman Thomas J. Konju raised a charge of impeachment against Kent, stating that he had violated council rules by attempting to change David's vote after the vote was done and trying to keep it secret from other Councilmen.

## Trial

After the Council meeting, the personnel of the Supreme Court of LEGO City came to the Council chamber and set up. Secretary of Law Matt Murdock would represent the prosecution and Secretary of Transportation Anakin Skywalker would defend Kent. Murdock's prosecution argument was considered weak, which was likely intentional as Murdock opposed the impeachment personally. Skywalker's defense was considered much stronger.

### Testimony

The only person to make testimony against Kent was Councilman Thomas J. Konju, who raised the charges against Kent. Konju blasted Kent and stated that it was a blatant violation of council rules.

### Verdict

5 LEGO City Councilmen would be voting as council rules state that an accused councilman can not vote at their own trial. Prior to that, both the Chief Justice and Jury recommended accquittal. Each Councilman would then vote in accordance with their seat number.

Donald J. Trump, the council's majority leader, and a member of the Nelson-Murdock party, considered to be the party's most moderate member voted first. Trump defied the general consensus of Council Nelson-Murdockians, and voted for accquittal, stating that the impeachment was unneccessary.

Mace Windu, Thomas J. Konju, and Rick Olie, the other Nelson-Murdockians in the council all voted for impeachment as did Stephen B. David. This led to 4 out of 5 votes being for impeachment, or 80%, meaning that Kent would be removed from office and banned from holding the office of Councilman or anything higher ever again. However, this ban was lifted when President Marty McFly pardoned Kent.
