In this regard, neither body acting alone can claim to represent the Legislature which is headed by a direct representative of the people called the “Speaker”. Also under the Constitution Article 43, it says the Legislature shall prescribe the procedure for impeachment and that such procedure must be in keeping with requirements of due process of law. No person shall be impeached but by the concurrence of two-thirds of the total membership of the Senate. The Legislature shall prescribe the procedure for impeachment proceedings which shall be in conformity with the requirements of due process of law”. And so the nation wonders is the Liberian Legislature made up of principled men and women, or of mere “bleating goats” ever ready to bleat “maaa” to every bunch of cassava leaves?
