Who has the authority to impeach the Governor in Arizona?

  1. Arizona Supreme Court

  2. House of Representatives

  3. Senate

  4. Judicial Branch

The correct answer is: House of Representatives

The authority to impeach the Governor in Arizona resides with the House of Representatives. Impeachment is a process in which a legislative body levels charges against a government official, and in Arizona, this responsibility falls specifically to the House. Once the House approves articles of impeachment by a majority vote, the process moves to the Senate, which then conducts a trial to determine whether to remove the Governor from office. The Arizona Constitution outlines this process, reflecting the principle of checks and balances within the state government. By granting this authority to the House of Representatives, the framers of the Constitution ensured that elected representatives have a say in holding the Governor accountable for misconduct or violation of laws while providing an avenue for checks on the executive branch.
