N.Y. Const. art. VI, § 24: Court for the trial of impeachments

§ 24. The assembly shall have the power of impeachment by a vote of a

majority of all the members elected thereto. The court for the trial of

impeachments shall be composed of the president of the senate, the

senators, or the major part of them, and the judges of the court of

appeals, or the major part of them. On the trial of an impeachment

against the governor or lieutenant-governor, neither the

lieutenant-governor nor the temporary president of the senate shall act

as a member of the court. No judicial officer shall exercise his or her

office after articles of impeachment against him or her shall have been

preferred to the senate, until he or she shall have been acquitted.

Before the trial of an impeachment, the members of the court shall take

an oath or affirmation truly and impartially to try the impeachment

according to the evidence, and no person shall be convicted without the

concurrence of two-thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of

impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, or

removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any public

office of honor, trust, or profit under this state; but the party

impeached shall be liable to indictment and punishment according to law.
