1. A group of at least ¼ [=35] Members of the Assembly requests the impeachment (Article 90(2)).
2. The Plenary Session of the Assembly requests a report from its Legal Affairs Committee.
3. The Plenary Session of the Assembly establishes a Special Investigation Commission.
4. The Special Investigation Commission reports to the Plenary Session on whether the President committed serious violations of the Constriction or a serious crime.
5. The Plenary Session decides by a two thirds majority whether to impeach the President (Article 90(2)).
6. If the plenary decides for impeachment, it refers the case to the Constitutional Court, which decides on the “guilt” of the President (Article 90(3)).
7. When the Constitutional Court establishes the guilt, the President is dismissed.
