Impeachment and expulsion by the New York Legislature await Gov. Andrew Cuomo if the Democrat refuses to resign in the wake of scathing sexual misconduct allegations.

With New York Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie declaring that Cuomo has lost the confidence of the chamber’s Democratic majority and “can no longer remain in office,” it is only a matter of time before the governor is impeached and faces trial in the state Senate. Similar to the federal impeachment process, state senators would act as jurors, with a two-thirds vote required to force Cuomo’s removal.
