	Bambooweb: Impeachment
		The House of Lords hears the case, with the Lord Chancellor presiding (or the Lord High Steward if the impeachment relates to a peer accused of high treason.) The hearing resembles an ordinary trial: both sides may call witnesses and present evidence.
		The federal procedure in the United States involves a vote for impeachment in the House of Representatives on Articles of Impeachment, as in the United Kingdom.
		The investigating house can remove the President if it decides, by at least a two-thirds majority of its members, that she is guilty of the charge of which she stands accused, and that the charge is sufficiently serious as to warrant her removal.

	Devolved English Parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It shared most of the powers typical of representative institutions in medieval and early modern Europe, and was arranged from the fourteenth century in a bicameral manner, with a House of Commons for the knights of the shire and burgesses and a House of Lords for the spiritual and temporal peers.
		Following the first elections to the newly created Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly in 1999 England was left as the only nation in the United Kingdom, besides Cornwall, with no separate representative body, although the Northern Ireland Assembly has been subject to periods of suspension.
		Alternatively, some would have this parliament take the form of an English Grand Committee in the United Kingdom House of Commons rather than as a new body with separate elections, while some see it as replacing the House of Commons, with a reformed House of Lords being the sole UK chamber.
