§ 44-09-04 — Form of articles of impeachment - Specifications

The articles of impeachment must be divided into separate charges and specifications
thereunder. The charges must be numbered consecutively and separately and each must set
forth in a general way the facts claimed to constitute one of the offenses named in section
44-09-01. The specifications under each charge must follow it immediately and be numbered
consecutively. Each must set forth the facts claimed to constitute an offense of the kind named
in the charge under which it is placed. There may be as many charges and as many
specifications under each as the circumstances may require. No objection may be made on
account of the form of the articles of impeachment, and the same must be deemed sufficient in
substance if the allegations enable the accused to understand the nature of the accusations
against the accused, and enable the accused to make a defense.
