Shenna Bellows, Maine’s Secretary of State, is facing further criticism after she decided to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in an effort to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. She has been under scrutiny since the decision was announced on Thursday.

Now, Bellows could be facing an impeachment effort.

State Rep. John Andrews, a Republican, announced that he has initiated impeachment proceedings against Bellows, accusing her of hyper-partisanship after she invoked the 14^th Amendment to disqualify Trump from the ballot.

Andrews said in a statement that he filed a request with the Maine Revisor's Office saying he wanted "to file a Joint Order, or whichever is the proper parliamentary mechanism under Mason's Rules, to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows."

"In Maine, the people do not elect the Secretary of State, Attorney General or Treasurer," Andrews told Fox News Digital. "They are chosen by elected Democrat Party insiders after deals are made in the back room of State House."

"Shenna Bellows knows that the process that put her there is extremely partisan," he continued. "She should know better and be going out of her way to be as neutral as possible to serve every citizen in Maine and not just registered Democrats."

"That’s why she swore an oath to the Constitution and not the Democrat Party," he added. "We are still a republic, but moves like this fracture that foundation, which ultimately is the point of all this."

Bellows’ decision came soon after Colorado’s Supreme Court issued a ruling removing Trump from the ballot, which ignited a fierce debate over what many see as a politically motivated endeavor to help President Joe Biden win reelection.

Andrews argued that the former president “has met all qualifications for the March 2024 Republican Presidential Primary” and that Bellows’ actions were “raw partisanship” that “has no place in the offices of our state’s Constitutional Officers.”

During a conversation on Fox, Andrews accused Bellows of exploiting her position to disenfranchise over 300,000 of Maine’s voters.

While his effort to impeach Bellows will likely fail due to Democratic majorities in the state’s legislature, it does show that there is pushback in each of these states against this brazen attempt to influence an election and overrule the people’s right to choose who sits in the Oval Office.

Folks like Bellows and others who support the 14^th Amendment Crusade argue that it is somehow necessary to uphold the Constitution and prevent supposed insurrectionists from holding public office. The provision was originally intended for members of the Confederacy to keep them from having power in the United States’ government.

But nobody with an IQ higher than my shoe size actually believes that J6 was on the same level as starting the Civil War or that Trump somehow orchestrated the whole thing. Andrews clearly sees Bellows’ action for what it is: An attempt to rig the next presidential election. Perhaps the U.S. Supreme Court will see it the same way.
