Section 421. Proceedings thereon  


Latest version.
  • If an objection to the sufficiency of the
      impeachment be not sustained by a majority of the members of  the  court
      who heard the argument, the defendant must forthwith answer the articles
      of  impeachment.  If he plead guilty, or refuse to plead, the court must
      render judgment of conviction  against  him.  If  he  deny  the  matters
      charged  the  court must, at such time as it may appoint, proceed to try
      the impeachment, and may adjourn the  trial  from  time  to  time  until
      concluded.
