Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he won't voluntarily leave office as crises engulfing his administration — including allegations by multiple women of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, as well as scruinty over his handling of nursing home deaths during the pandemic — continue to mount. 

"There is no way I resign," he said Sunday in a conference call. "Let's do the attorney general's investigation and let's go from there."

The stance has led some lawmakers to raise the possibility of impeachment in order to force Cuomo from office. 

"If that doesn't happen, I think it's very difficult to avoid the impeachment process because you have to have some teeth if you want him to resign," said Assemblyman Phil Steck. "It's disruptive of government if you can't get the information from the executive branch, if you think it's all politically driven, and there's abusive behavior."

To impeach Cuomo, there would first have to be a vote in the state Assembly. A trial overseen by the state Court of Appeals would take place in the state Senate, with senators acting as the jury.

Republican Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay on Monday announced they would push an impeachment resolution in their chamber. 

"We will continue to push this because we think he's unable to govern," Barclay said. "But the majority is going to have to get behind this. This really has to be a bipartisan effort. They are really going to be able to deal with that amount of members in both houses calling for his impeachment? How are they going to be able to govern?"

At the moment, there is still little chance of that happening in the Legislature. More than a dozen Democratic women in the state Assembly in a joint statement backed by Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes said Attorney General Letitia James should be given time to conduct her investigation. 

And Monday also saw the release of another poll, this time by Emerson College and WPIX, that found 64% of women voters in New York City approve of the governor, wih 53% of New York City voters overall believing the governor's nursing home response was improper, but not impeachable. 

The impeachment push against Cuomo will likely cite the harassment allegations. But Republican Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh says the questions facing Cuomo over nursing home deaths should not be ignored. 

"The sexual harassment allegations are just the latest," she said. "For me, what I'm most upset about is the coverup of the nursing home scandal."
