Beta Psi Omega (BPO) Constitution Practice Test

Impeachment is about removing someone from a position of authority, not ending their membership in the group. When an officer is impeached, the action typically results in stepping down from that office while keeping membership intact. That’s why resigning as an officer, not as a member, is the appropriate consequence—the organization seeks to remove the leadership role without dissolving the person’s overall membership.

Expulsion would terminate membership entirely, which isn’t the usual outcome of impeachment. A one-semester suspension doesn’t align with governance actions for a leadership role, and transferring to inactive status would remove the person from more than just the office. So the correct consequence is resigning from the officer position while remaining a member.
