2006 New York Code - 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.
