{{Main|Impeachment in Norway}}

Members of government, representatives of the national assembly ([[Storting]]et) and [[Supreme Court of Norway|Supreme Court]] judges can be impeached for criminal offenses tied to their duties and committed in office, according to the Constitution of 1814, §§ 86 and 87. The procedural rules were modeled after the U.S. rules and are quite similar to them. Impeachment has been used eight times since 1814, last in 1927. Many argue that impeachment has fallen into [[desuetude]]. In cases of impeachment, an appointed court (Riksrett) takes effect.
