The French Parliament is considering impeaching President Macron.

According to RIA Novosti on September 17, the French National Assembly's lower house will consider a resolution to impeach President Emmanuel Macron, proposed by the left-wing "France Unbowed" party.

The "France Unbowed" party launched this initiative after the French leader excluded the participation of the left wing in the nascent government, despite their coalition's victory in the parliamentary elections. This proposal was put forward under Article 68 of the French Constitution, which stipulates the possibility of impeaching the president if he violates his duties.

The resolution of the "Unbowed France" party was supported by 81 delegates from the left-wing Popular Front bloc, including 72 MPs from the Unbowed France party, as well as the Green Party and several other delegates from the left-wing Democratic and Republican groups.

The Office – the highest body of the House of Representatives, in which 12 of the 22 members are currently left-wing representatives – must decide on whether to accept the resolution.

Furthermore, the Socialist Party refused to support the "France Unbowed" party's initiative. Former French President Francois Hollande, as well as Green Party leader Marine Tondellier, publicly voiced their opposition.

If this impeachment resolution is passed, the text of the resolution must then be approved by the 73-member Legislative Committee, of which the left holds only 24 seats. After that, two-thirds of the 385 members of Parliament must vote in favor within two weeks. The final two stages must also be completed in the Senate, where the left does not hold a majority.

However, if the text is passed by the Senate (232 votes), and the House and Senate are in a joint session, then the resolution must be supported by 617 out of 925 members of both houses. In this case, the president's resignation would be immediate.
