Missouri lawmakers to convene special session on potential Greitens impeachment
JEFFERSON CITY • Legislative leaders announced Thursday night that they will convene a special session on May 18 that could lead to the impeachment of Gov. Eric Greitens.
The announcement was made at a press conference called by Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard and House Speaker Todd Richardson.
The decision was made after 138 House members and 29 Senators signed a petition calling for the session on the controversies surrounding the governor. The session will begin an estimated 30 minutes after the regular session is set to end, Richard told reporters.
Richard was not sure when senators would actually convene because the upper chamber's duties are dependent on what the House does.
