MPs have launched a bid to impeach Boris Johnson after the Supreme Court ruled his decision to shutdown parliament was "unlawful".
Impeachment is brought when a peer or MP is accused of "high crimes and misdemeanours, beyond the reach of the law or which no other authority in the state will prosecute."
It is a historic procedure which is largely considered obsolete as it has been superseded by other methods of holding ministers to account.
But Labour MP Liam Byrne has urged for it to be used against the Prime Minister.
The MP tweeted: "Mr Speaker has recalled the House for 11:30 tomorrow.
"Impeachment of Boris Johnson should begin immediately."
The PM faced rising demands to resign after the UK's highest court ruled unanimously that he acted unlawfully.
The 11 justices said shutting down the Commons for five weeks before the Brexit deadline had an "extreme" effect on democracy.
Declaring the prorogation of Parliament "unlawful, void and of no effect", Supreme Court President Lady Hale declared: "Parliament has not been prorogued."
And she said the Commons and Lords speakers "can take immediate steps to enable each house to meet as soon as possible".
Boris Johnson said he with the Supreme Court ruling but that Parliament “will come back”.
If the Commons agree that the MP is guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanours" then they are sent to the House of Lords chamber.
The accused then stands at the bar at the House of Lords and is impeached.
The first recorded impeachment was in 1376 and the last in 1806.
Boris Johnson himself supported impeaching Tony Blair over the Iraq war in a motion that never passed.
