Assassination of Julius Caesar: Impeach the Senators!

A week after the assassination of our Dictator Julius Caesar, the convicted masterminds of this plot; Tillious Cimber, Servilius Casca, Decimus Brutus, Marcus Brutus, Minucius, and Rubrius, and 54 others are facing death. The conspirers met a few times in the public and in the privet confines of their homes. They had grown tired of Caesars constant selfishness and his declaration of his being dictator for life. They came to the conclusion that the only way to resolve this problem was to assassinate Caesar. Many plots were proposed, and ideas of when to perform the endeavor were thrown about; However only one idea was logical. Assassinate Caesar as he sat alone in the Senate, where non-senators were not admitted and they could hide daggers underneath their togas. They continued on with their plot and killed their ruler. Caesar was stabbed over thirty times, however a physician confirmed that only one stab was considered fatal. These men have a committed terrible crime but their many years of service to our land and people deserve recognition. As they face exile or death, I propose that we impeach them from the Imperial Senate and save them and their families the dishonor of public execution. The murder of our leader is devastating, and at a time of great prosperity, we take back a few steps back. In one week time a public vote will be held to decide what is to become of these men. In the main time the will remain in the senate, their voting rights suspended. Please, vote to impeach these men for if we don’t they will be removed by force and a public execution will be held. Great shame will come upon there families name, and they will forevermore be remembered by one man’s blunder. To remove them from office will save their good name, and they will be exiled, never to return to the lands of the great Roman Empire. You have much to repay these public servants, so give it back and do the honorable thing.
