Article 1. Amendment to Article 74

Article 74 shall be supplemented with the second paragraph and the whole Article shall be read as follows:

‘Article 74

The President of the Republic, the President and justices of the Constitutional Court, the President and justices of the Supreme Court, the President and judges of the Court of Appeal, as well as any Members of the Seimas who grossly violate the Constitution or breach their oath, or are found to have committed a crime, may be removed from office or have the mandate of a Member of the Seimas revoked by a 3/5 majority vote of all the Members of the Seimas. This shall be performed in accordance with the procedure for impeachment proceedings, which shall be established by the Statute of the Seimas.

A person who has been removed from office or whose mandate of a Member of the Seimas has been revoked by the Seimas in accordance with the procedure for impeachment proceedings for a gross violation of the Constitution or for breach of his oath may take up an office specified in the Constitution, the commencement of which, in accordance with the Constitution, is subject to the taking of the oath provided for in the Constitution, when at least ten years have elapsed from the decision of the Seimas by which he was removed from office or his mandate of a Member of the Seimas was revoked.’

I promulgate this Law passed by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.

President of the Republic Gitanas Nausėda
