S. D. Const. , Art. XVI, § 3 provides that the House of Representatives may impeach "state and judicial officers," for "drunkenness, crimes, corrupt conduct, or malfeasance or misdemeanors in office. " Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg committed malfeasance in office following the death of Joseph Boever.
Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg committed the following wrongful deeds:
(1) Immediately following the collision, Attorney General Ravnsborg identified himself by his official title and made a direct misrepresentation to the dispatch officer, misleading first responders as to the crime he had just committed;
(2) During the investigation, Attorney General Ravnsborg made numerous misrepresentations and misstatements of fact to law enforcement and to the public regarding his conduct surrounding his criminal acts; and
(3) Attorney General Ravnsborg used assets of the Office of the Attorney General to benefit himself personally with respect to the investigation into his criminal activity.
Wherefore, the foregoing wrongful deeds amount to malfeasance in office as provided in S. D. Const. , Art. XVI, § 3. Accordingly, this Article of Impeachment for malfeasance in office following the death of Joseph Boever is adopted, and Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg must face trial in the Senate of the State of South Dakota pursuant to S. D. Const. , Art. XVI, § 2."
