=== Singapore=== The [[Constitution of Singapore]] allows the impeachment of a sitting [[President of Singapore|president]] on charges of treason, violation of the Constitution, corruption, or attempting to mislead the Presidential Elections Committee for the purpose of demonstrating eligibility to be elected as president. The [[Prime Minister of Singapore|prime minister]] or at least one-quarter of all [[Parliament of Singapore|members of Parliament]] (MPs) can pass an impeachment motion, which can succeed only if at least half of all MPs (excluding nominated members) vote in favor, whereupon the chief justice of the [[Supreme Court of Singapore|Supreme Court]] will appoint a tribunal to investigate allegations against the president. If the tribunal finds the president guilty, or otherwise declares that the president is "permanently incapable of discharging the functions of his office by reason of mental or physical infirmity", Parliament will hold a vote on a resolution to remove the president from office, which requires a three-quarters majority to succeed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/CONS1963?ProvIds=pr22L-,pr25-|title=Constitution of the Republic of Singapore β Singapore Statutes Online|date=2019|website=/sso.agc.gov.sg|access-date=15 October 2019|archive-date=8 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200608142315/https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/CONS1963?ProvIds=pr22L-,pr25-|url-status=live}}</ref> No president has ever been removed from office in this fashion.
