Yesterday, Representative Darryl Metcalfe (with 24 Republican co-sponsors) introduced HR 915, Governor Wolf Impeachment Resolution. HR 915 (resolution language is not currently available online) contains 5 articles of impeachment against Governor Wolf for misbehavior in office. The resolution contends that the Governor’s COVID-19 related orders and actions violated the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the US Constitution and rights within the Pennsylvania Constitution.

The House alleges that the Governor’s COVID-19 response mandating business closures, and designating businesses as non-life sustaining, as well as the creation of the business waiver process (designating a business as essential) caused historical unemployment rates and unemployment compensation benefit deployment issues. The Governor allegedly failed to address nursing home risks, preventing deaths, and he refused to comply with Right-to-Know (i.e. Public Disclosure) laws.

HR 915 has not been assigned to a House Committee for further consideration as of yet. View the Press Release.
