indictment. The charges shall be recorded in the Executive Journal and an attested
copy thereof shall be made by the Secretary of State, and served upon the officer
sought to be removed. No response shall be filed to the charges, but they shall stand
traversed of record.

of the hearing, and giving him at least twenty
(20)days to prepare his defense.
