New York state lawmakers will halt the impeachment investigation against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie announced
In a statement, Heastie said Cuomo's resignation effectively eliminated the central question of the probe --"whether Governor Cuomo should remain in office" -- and that Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Lavine advised him, with the guidance of counsel, that the state constitution"does not authorize the legislature to impeach and remove an elected official who is no longer in office.
"I've been in this business long enough to know that is not the purview of the New York state governor to dictate to the New York State Assembly or to the Judiciary Committee on what actions they should take next with respect to anything," Hochul said,"particularly impeachment."A spokesperson for Hochul reiterated that view on Friday, saying,"It was ultimately up to the Assembly and the Lieutenant Governor respects their decision.
