How to get the president out of the Aras?

drunkmonkey

What happens when all is said and done and by some strange twist of transfer faith Dana or Mary ended up elected.
How would the people go about removing them peacefully?

Forget Dana and Mary. If the opinion polls are to be believed we're going to need to know this anyway.

Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland formal impeachment only applies to the Irish president. Article 12 of the Irish Constitution provides that, unless judged to be "permanently incapacitated" by the Supreme Court, the president can only be removed from office by the houses of the Oireachtas (parliament) and only for the commission of "stated misbehaviour". Either house of the Oireachtas may impeach the president, but only by a resolution approved by a majority of at least two-thirds of its total number of members; and a house may not consider a proposal for impeachment unless requested to do so by at least thirty of its number.

Where one house impeaches the president, the remaining house either investigates the charge or commissions another body or committee to do so. The investigating house can remove the president if it decides, by at least a two-thirds majority of its members, both that they are guilty of the charge of which they stand accused, and that the charge is sufficiently serious as to warrant their removal. To date no impeachment of an Irish president has ever taken place. The president holds a largely ceremonial office, the dignity of which is considered important, so it is likely that a president would resign from office long before undergoing formal conviction or impeachment.

The Republic's Constitution and law also provide that only a joint resolution of both houses of the Oireachtas may remove a judge. Although often referred to as the 'impeachment' of a judge, this procedure does not technically involve impeachment.

This is better.

Removal of a President from office

There are two situations when a President may be removed from office. If five Supreme Court judges or more decide that a President has become permanently incapacitated, the President's term of office will come to an end.
The President may also be impeached by either House of the Oireachtas for "stated misbehaviour". Stated misbehaviour might include a criminal offence or a misuse of the President's powers.
Rules

Impeachment

To propose a motion to impeach the President, at least 30 members of one House of the Oireachtas must sign the proposal. Then at least two-thirds of all of the members of that House must vote in favour of the proposal.
The other House of the Oireachtas must then investigate the charge that the President is guilty of stated misbehaviour. The investigation may be carried out by a committee or tribunal. The President has a right to appear and be represented at the investigation of the charge.
At the end of the investigation, two-thirds of the members of the investigating House must pass a resolution declaring that the President is guilty of stated misbehaviour. The President's term of office will then come to an end.
This means that in order to remove the President, two-thirds of the total membership of both Houses of the Oireachtas must vote in favour of that course of action.
