On Thursday night, State Representative John Andrews (R-Paris) filed a request with the Maine Revisor\u2019s Office for a Joint Order to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.<\/p>\n

This move comes after Bellows issued a ruling<\/a> regarding former President Donald J. Trump\u2019s eligibility for Maine\u2019s ballot in the 2024 Presidential Primary, which is an outrageous abuse of power and an unconstitutional power grab.<\/p>\n

Representative Andrews invoked his \u201cconstitutional right under Article IV: Part 1st: Section 8 \u2018Power of impeachment. The House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment,’\u201d as stated in his official letter.<\/p>\n

Representative Andrews is a member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, which oversees elections and the Office of the Secretary of State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to file a Joint Order, or whichever is the proper parliamentary mechanism under Mason\u2019s Rules, to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows,\u201d Andrews said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to impeach Secretary Bellows on the grounds that she is barring an American citizen and 45th President of the United States, who is convicted of no crime or impeachment, their right to appear on a Maine Republican Primary ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrews continued, \u201cDonald J. Trump has met all qualifications for the March 2024 Republican Presidential Primary. He should be allowed on the ballot. This is raw partisanship and has no place in the offices of our state\u2019s Constitutional Officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Representative Andrews took to his social media account, emphasizing his view of the situation: \u201cThis is hyper-partisanship on full display. A Secretary of State APPOINTED by legislative Democrats bans President Trump from the 2024 ballot so that she can jockey for position in the 2026 Democrat Primary for Governor. Banana Republic isn\u2019t just a store at the mall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steven Cheung, Trump\u2019s campaign spokesman, issued a fiery statement condemning the action as a partisan effort to sway the upcoming election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Maine Secretary of State is a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat who has decided to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are witnessing, in real-time, the attempted theft of an election and the disenfranchisement of the American voter. Democrats in blue states are recklessly and unconstitutionally suspending the civil rights of the American voters by attempting to summarily remove President Trump\u2019s name from the ballot. Make no mistake, these partisan election interference efforts are a hostile assault on American democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, Shenna Bellows made a bid for a Senate seat but lost big time against Susan Collins. This is the same person who made the decision to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot.<\/p>\n\n

This is also the same woman who tweeted, \u201cThe fundamental right of any American citizen to vote freely, fairly and to have their vote counted is the premise of our democracy. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not values to be compromised away. #FreedomToVoteAct\u201d<\/p>\n

The fundamental right of any American citizen to vote freely, fairly and to have their vote counted is the premise of our democracy. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not values to be compromised away. #FreedomToVoteAct<\/a><\/p>\n
