The bill was put forward by democrat liberal deputies Daniel Buda, Gabriel Andronache and Mircea Toader.

Liberal deputy Alina Gorghiu said this requirement should be removed, since the President is elected with the votes of the majority of citizens who have turned out to vote, therefore the same rule should apply to impeachment.

The committee rejected this suggestion and adopted the bill with eight votes for and six votes against.

The bill will now be debated by the Chamber plenum.
