If any state's attorney or sheriff is arrested for or charged with any offense against the laws of this state or the United States of America, and the Governor is informed that criminal proceedings are pending before any court or officer, the Governor shall in the case of a felony and may in the case of a misdemeanor suspend that state's attorney or sheriff from office until such charge is prosecuted. The effect of such a suspension is to relieve the affected state's attorney or sheriff from all responsibilities provided by law which are pertinent to that position.
