Student Association social vice president impeached

Sanchez is out

We are sad to announce that Jacob Sanchez has finally been impeached this year. 

Every couple of years, there will be a rare occasion in which an SA officer doesn’t fulfill their job requirements. These are always hard times for everyone involved because it often leads to other Student Association members needing to pick up the slack. 

Reasons for impeachment can vary, but Sanchez was ousted primarily because of his extreme beliefs in a single banquet replacing the traditional two. One member of the student senate exclaimed that Sanchez has been “a disgrace to the position” because of his stance on the  banquet. They said, “Why would we want to do our formal at a museum? What are we, 80?”

More reasons for impeachment came from SA stating that Sanchez has done literally nothing this year. When asked for confirmation, he stated “Yea, I haven’t done a thing yet. Every time someone asked me about an event I just made something up. I think the only thing I planned this year was dodgeball. I would just say that we’re going to do something, and somehow it actually happened. I have no idea how that worked.”

When inquiring with SA President Nelda Atuti about Sanchez’s replacement, she said, “Honestly, probably no one. We proved that this position is really not needed by having events all year basically without him, so why would we need someone there?” These comments were said in Sanchez’s last meeting which prompted him to sit there and cry.

The impeachment hearings were a wild ride, Sanchez appeared at Student Senate with three attorneys, including professors Matthew Graves and Carlton Robinson, thinking that Chief Justice John Roberts would be proceeding with the hearings. They made the (semi)strong argument that because Sanchez had not signed his contract for Student Association yet, he owed them “absolutely nothing,” and that this impeachment was “a witch hunt” trying to get the visionary behind the one banquet system out of there. The arguments failed abysmally and Sanchez lost the vote 12-0.
