# The National Assembly has adopted a report looking at the rules around section 89 inquiries in Parliament, which deal with the removal of a president. In May, the Constitutional Court ruled that Parliament’s rules on the impeachment of a president were invalid. The apex court ordered Parliament to rewrite its framework and adopt amended rules to ensure presidential accountability cannot be blocked by procedural votes. The adoption of the report will guide the Impeachment Committee in its work, despite president Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent court bid to halt the process.
