This just came out from the local CBS station (10TV WBNS), haven't seen it anywhere else, that's why I put it here - please adjust if needed
GOP state lawmaker leads effort to impeach DeWine over coronavirus response | 10tv.com
Rep. John Becker announced Monday he drafted 10 articles of impeachment.
"Many Ohioans find the mask mandate offensive, degrading, humiliating, and insulting. There is also evidence that masks can be hazardous to one’s health. Gov. DeWine doubled down when he expanded the mandate to our school-age children, who are less susceptible to COVID-19," Becker wrote."
According to the Ohio Constitution, the House of Representatives have the sole power of impeachment and a majority of lawmakers would need to support that to move forward.
The impeachment would then be tried by the Ohio Senate and a conviction would happen if at least two-thirds of the senators vote to impeach the governor.
Becker told the Cincinnati Enquirer that there are not enough votes to remove DeWine from office right now but the movement does have initial backing from Republican representatives Candice Keller of Middletown, Paul Zeltwanger of Mason and Nino Vitale of Urbana.
The Governor did the best he could with the information coming from doctors and scientists - this will go nowhere in my eyes
