The governor of Maine, who chose not to put Trump on the primary ballot, faces possible impeachment.
The Governor of Maine, who chose not to put Trump on the primary ballot, faces possible impeachment.
Maine's Portland (AP) — The state legislature may try to impeach Maine's top election official for her decision to keep former President Donald Trump off the Republican primary ballot.
Despite the overwhelming odds in the Democratic-controlled Legislature, at least one Republican legislator has vowed to seek Shenna Bellows' impeachment. Bellows is the Democratic Secretary of State.
Bellows stated on Friday that she was required by state law to make a decision regarding three challenges submitted by registered Maine voters, but she had no comment on the impeachment attempt. She restated that she had put her decision on hold while she awaited Trump's expected Superior Court appeal.
"I have the duty and the authority to act under Maine law," she declared. "As instructed by the courts, I shall uphold the Constitution and the rule of law," she continued.
Bellows' decision on Thursday came after the Colorado Supreme Court's earlier decision this month to remove Trump from the ballot following Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on whether Trump broke the Civil War-era rule barring people who "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office, that decision is on hold.
"No candidate has been barred from the ballot for participating in an insurrection in 150 years. Donald Trump has now experienced it twice in the previous two weeks. Election law expert and professor at Notre Dame Law School Derek Muller predicted that the Supreme Court would face intense pressure to provide clarification very soon.
State Representative John Andrews of Maine, a member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, pushed for an impeachment trial and referred to the ruling as "hyper-partisanship on full display." To get things started before lawmakers return to Augusta the following week, he claimed to have sent a notice to the state revisor's office asking for a joint order.
"The drastic move taken by the secretary of state is opposed by both parties. She went beyond her authority. The success of her attempt to suppress the vote will depend on whether Democrats will back her enough to remove her from office, according to House Republican leader Billy Bob Faulkingham.
Only one member of the congressional delegation from Maine, Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree of the liberal 1st Congressional District, agreed with Bellows' assessment that Trump incited an uprising, which served as justification for his exclusion from the March 5 primary.
In the absence of a definitive judicial ruling regarding the matter of insurrection, U.S. Sen. Angus King, an independent who supports Democrats, stated on Friday that the people's choice regarding whether or not to consider Trump for president "should rest with the people as expressed in free and fair elections."
Representative Jared Golden, a Democrat from the 2nd Congressional District, concurred, saying that "Trump should be allowed on the ballot until he is found guilty of the crime of insurrection."
The senior senator from the state, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, was among the few Republicans who voted in favor of convicting Trump during his second impeachment trial. She also chastised him for disobeying his oath of office in a floor speech.
She didn't agree with Bellows' choice, though. "Electors in Maine should determine the winner of the race, not a secretary of state selected by the Legislature," she declared.
