In between rounds of golf, the Republicans who control South Carolina's House of Representatives will be deciding whether or not to impeach Mark Sanford:
House Republicans will discuss whether to impeach Gov. Mark Sanford when they meet in Myrtle Beach this weekend.Thanks to Mark Sanford and the SC GOP for keeping this scandal alive. We look forward to the impeachment.
Lawmakers, once reluctant to discuss removing Sanford, will weigh what it would take to force the Republican governor out and how the process would work.
Republicans expect the meeting — an annual gathering to discuss agenda, issues and politics, and to play golf — will be dominated by discussion of Sanford’s future — and what role the House will play in it.
Sanford has been under fire since secretly leaving the country for five days in June to meet his lover and later admitting an extramarital affair with the Argentine woman. Since then, Sanford has been under fire for flying in expensive business-class seats and his use of state and private planes. All could violate state law or ethics rules.
