Seven conservative lawmakers in New Hampshire have called for an investigation into whether the state's GOP governor Chris Sununu can be impeached for ruling by executive order during the pandemic.
This news comes just days after the governor implemented a mask mandate requiring people to wear a face covering in public places, which led to an anti-mask demonstration outside his home in Newfields on Sunday.
According to a filing by the New Hampshire General Court, Andrew Prout, a Republican member of the state's House of Representatives, was the prime sponsor of the request, titled "authorizing and directing the house judiciary committee to investigate whether cause exists for the impeachment of Governor Christopher T. Sununu."
"The mask mandate was the last straw," Prout told NHJournal. "Governor Sununu has a newly-elected GOP legislature he should be working with, but instead he continues to rule by executive order without any legislative consultation."
The effort has been backed by four other incumbent state representatives and two representatives-elect.

The GOP is now a death cult.
