Hard-left party France Unbowed on Saturday asked other political groupings to back its long-shot bid to impeach President Emmanuel Macron for "serious failings" in his constitutional duties.
Macron has been in a face-off with France Unbowed (LFI) and its Green, Socialist and Communist allies over his refusal to name their candidate Lucie Castets prime minister after July's inconclusive parliamentary election.
While their NFP alliance won the most seats, no single bloc has a majority in a chamber split largely between the left, Macron's centrists and the far-right National Rally (RN).
"The National Assembly (lower house) and Senate can and must defend democracy against the president's authoritarian leanings" LFI lawmakers wrote in a draft impeachment resolution.
Their parliamentary leader Mathilde Panot said they had sent the document to other MPs to gather signatures.
