Boris Johnson should resign or face impeachment by parliament
Rejected

What the petition asks
Boris Johnson was found to have acted illegally by requesting that HM The Queen prorogue parliament and has insinuated that he will break the law by failing to comply with the Benn Act. He should resign or face impeachment in parliament.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a decision for the individual MP and not the UK Government or Parliament.
