   For moonlighting as the CEO of a Separatist confederacy that is waging war   
   against the very Republic that employs him.   
      
   Impermissible conflict of interest.   
      
      
      
   Also, somebody had to pay the Kaminoans for those clones and I don't think   
   Palps managed to do that on a Sith's income.   
      
   Failure to properly account for spending.   
      
      
      
   For his part in stirring up the Naboo blockade that set up the circumstances   
   for his election to the Chancellor's seat.   
      
   Undisclosed campaign funding.   
      
      
      
      
   For carrying on a conversation during a public performance (the Mon Calamari   
   opera.)   
      
   Although our own galaxy is not civilized enough to make that a capital   
   offense, we can always hope the GFFA is more advanced.   
      
      
      
      
   The Jedi may well have jumped the gun in terms of gathering admissable   
   evidence before calling for an arrest. Nevertheless, the Chancellor's   
   actions were real and a valid cause of arrest.
