# Ga. Const. Art. III, Sec. VII, Para. III. Judgments in impeachment.

A constitution provision shown as in force is in force as printed in the volume. A court decision can make a printed provision unenforceable without changing the volume, and the volume does not record that.

In cases of impeachment, judgments shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit within this state or to receive a pension therefrom, but no such judgment shall relieve any party from any criminal or civil liability.

## 1976 Constitution.

Art. III, Sec. VI, Para. III.

## Alr.

Physical or mental disability as disqualification or ground of removal or impeachment of public officer, 28 ALR 777.

Membership in or affiliation with religious, political, social, or criminal society or group as ground of removal of public officer, 116 ALR 358.

Governing law as to existence or character of offense for which one has been convicted in a federal court, or court of another state, as bearing upon disqualification to vote, hold office, practice profession, sit on jury, or the like, 175 ALR 784.
