Tribal Council votes to impeach Cherokee chief

CHEROKEE - The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council voted Thursday to impeach Principal Chief Patrick Lambert, marking only the second time since the early 1800s that the tribe has forced a chief from office.

Lambert had faced an array of allegations made in 12 impeachment articles, including that he used his office for personal gain.
