Drafting Team
The drafting team for the motion was announced on 13 October 2004:
- Douglas Hogg QC MP
- Edward Garnier QC MP
- Elfyn Llwyd MP
- Alex Salmond MP
It appeared that the team would also draft the articles of impeachment. In earlier impeachment cases, this has usually been done after the motion, although it also occurred first in the case of Warren Hastings.
The drafting team completed the text of the impeachment motion on 7 November 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words drafting and/or team:
“Yup. They’re drafting everybody these days.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
