Impeachment of Governor Bentley

     Back in early March, Alabama lawmakers met to discuss the alternatives for the impeachment of Governor Robert Bentley. In 2014, Bentley was accused of having sexual conversations with his prior aid, Rebekah Mason. The evidence is found from audio tapes and text messages that were put out for the public by the Bentley family. The Alabama House Ethics and Campaign Finance Committee met to discuss their plan to get Bentley impeached and removed. Bentley claims that he had never had a "physical" affair and nothing illegal was happening. Many Alabamians were angered because they thought of their governor as a well-mannered and honest conservative, but with these actions he was showing he was far from being that. The article then goes into the steps of impeachment. These steps include the articles of impeachment being brought by the House of Representatives, while the Senate acts as a judge. The state representative wanted the impeachment because "the state House needs to be responsive and not wait for the court system to finish their work in the case." Mason resigned her position, while Henry refused to.
     We have recently discussed in class about our presidency unit, which includes the process of impeachment. In class, we said that impeachment is the process of setting out a set of charges to be brought against the person by the House of Representatives. This article describes the same process in the impeachment of Robert Bentley. He was accused of having sexual interactions with his aid and the House of Representatives from his state had to discuss and decide on how to resolve these charges.
     I believe that Bentley is guilty. With the sample of his conversation with her, describing how he loves to pull her close and and put his hands basically all over her, it was clear to me that something was happening between the two. If I lived in Alabama, I would definitely would not want my governor making mysterious conversations with someone that works for him. To me, that does not show anything but a bad character to everyone.
