Note 150 — IV. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF GERMAN LAW DURING THE NAZI PERIOD (continued 2)
Reading edition
Article 43 reads—“The president of the Reich holds office for 7 years. Reelection is permissible.
“The president of the Reich may, upon the motion of the Reichstag, be removed from office before the expiration of his term by the vote of the people. The resolution of the Reichstag requires to be carried by a two-thirds’ majority. Upon the adoption of such a resolution, the president of the Reich is prevented from the further exercise of his office. Refusal to remove him from office, expressed by the vote of the people, is equivalent to reelection, and entails the dissolution of the Reichstag.
“Penal proceedings may not be taken against the president of the Reich without the consent of the Reichstag.”
