Robert Bentley in the wake of a scandal involving one of the governor's top aides, who has since resigned.The resolution by Rep. Ed Henry of Hartselle will likely be sent to the House Rules Committee for consideration, and it's not clear if it will have enough support to move forward. Some lawmakers have said impeachment discussions are premature until investigations into Bentley's conduct have been done.Henry said Tuesday that Bentley has betrayed the trust of the people of Alabama. Henry and Bentley have clashed in the past over Bentley's push to raise taxes in the face of a budget shortfall.\"It will be a difficult process,\" Henry said. \"The process starts today.\"He added later: \"If he truly loves the people of this state, he'll step down.\"The Alabama Constitution lays out a loose procedure for impeachment for offenses including moral turpitude, willful neglect of duty and corruption, among other things.Bentley last month admitted making inappropriate remarks to his former senior political adviser, Rebekah Caldwell Mason, 44, but denied accusations of an affair. The admission came after Bentley's former law enforcement secretary, Spencer Collier, accused the governor of having an inappropriate relationship with Mason. Collier said he heard a recording of an overtly sexual conversation between the governor and a woman he presumed was Mason.Dianne Bentley, the governor's ex-wife, filed for divorce in 2015 saying their 50-year marriage had suffered an irreparable breakdown.Recordings obtained by The Associated Press purportedly show the governor - before his divorce - professing love to someone named Rebecca or Rebekah and telling her how much he enjoyed kissing and touching her breasts.\"I love you so much; I worry about loving you so much,\" Bentley says on the call.The governor in a press conference last month said that he did not have a \"physical affair\" with Mason and that there was no \"sexual activity.\"The scandal has engulfed Bentley, a mild-mannered dermatologist and former Baptist deacon whose political ascendency was based partly on his morally upright, honest reputation.Mason played a key role in Bentley's administration but was not on state payroll. She was paid with the governor's leftover campaign funds and also did work for a nonprofit organization formed to promote Bentley's agenda.A Republican Alabama lawmaker said Tuesday that he is filing an impeachment resolution against GOP Gov.

Mid of Alabama State Rep. Ed Henry walking to podium2. SOUNDBITE: (English) State Rep. Ed Henry, (R) Alabama\"We've never done this before. We've never tried to impeach a governor. We have had the impeachment process one time...in 1915. And we're basically building off of that.\" +++1 SECOND OF BLACK+++3. SOUNDBITE: (English) State Rep. Ed Henry, (R) Alabama\"Robert Bentley has said time and time again publicly how much he loves the people of Alabama. And I believe that's true. I believe he loves them. And if he does, it's time to let them go. It's time to put aside his selfishness, and step down, that's what should happen. If he truely the people of this state, he'll step down and relieve us of this pressure and this burden that he's placed on us.\" +++1 SECOND OF BLACK+++4. SOUNDBITE: (English) State Rep. Ed Henry, (R) Alabama\"The impeachment process is for us as the representatives of the people of Alabama because we do not have a recall in this state. If the people of this state believe that our governor is incompetent and incapable of filling the position, then it is up to us to impeach.\"+++1 SECOND OF BLACK+++5. SOUNDBITE:(English) State Rep. Mike Ball, (R) Alabama\"This is really about the checks and balances of government that the founding fathers have put in place. The legislative branch of government doesn't  operate exactly like the judicial branch or the executive branch, and the impeachment process...it's fortunate that the impeachment process hasn't been used very often in Alabama. We do have term limits in Alabama. We don't have recall, and this is a process where when circumstances rise to a certain level, it can hold a constitutional officer accountable.\"+++1 SECOND OF BLACK+++6. SOUNDBITE:(English) State Rep. Craig Ford, (D) Alabama \"I want to say this is not about Democrat and Republicans, this is about right and wrong. This is the only thing we know for sure today is that nothing the governor has said is true. This is not about the governor's personal conduct. This is about the allegations against him, including that he obstructed justice within the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency. We believe there's enough probable cause to asking the state Senate to try this case, and if guilty remove the governor from office.\" +++1 SECOND OF BLACK+++7. State Rep. David Standridge, (R) Alabama \"I have supported the governor. I supported him twice in elections. I supported him before a lot of people thought he would have a shot at winning. So it's sad, it's hard. It's hard for me.8.
