The following will be grounds for expulsion of officers:

1.Committing the Green Party to actions, endorsements, and
other policy positions
outside the decision-making process (see powers of Steering
Committee).
2.Misrepresenting the decisions and policies of the Green
Party.
3.Misappropriation, embezzlement, or unauthorized disbursement
of Green Party funds.
4.Advocacy or practice of discrimination.
5.Advocacy or practice of violent political action.
6.Misrepresentation of self.

Any three Coordinating Committee delegates from different
states can bring charges of
impeachment against a Green Party officer. Such charges must
be in writing. Once
charges are brought, a grievance tribunal will be selected by
members of the Steering
Committee who are not the subject of the impeachment. The
grievance tribunal will hear
both sides and decide the matter in a manner consistent with
the principles of due
process. The grievance tribunal shall consist of three
individuals from states associated
with the Green Party and shall not consist of any Green Party
officers or individuals from
the states that originally brought the charges. The grievance
tribunal will make a
recommendation to the Coordinating Committee on-line within a
reasonable amount of
time. The Coordinating Committee will then conduct an on-line
vote with a two-third no
vote necessary to remove an individual from office.
