Larry Brunk (February 9, 1883 – November 22, 1956) was an American politician. He served as the State Treasurer of Missouri from 1929 to 1933.[1]
In 1930, Missouri Attorney General Stratton Shartel charged Brunk with violating section 13337 of the 1919 Revised Statutes of Missouri. Governor Henry S. Caulfield attempted to remove Brunk from his office, However Brunk contested his removal by arguing that under the state's 1875 constitution, the only means to remove him would be to impeach him and then convict him in an impeachment trial. He brought a legal challenge, and the Supreme Court of Missouri ruled that indeed the only way to remove Brunk would be through the impeachment process prescribed in the state's constitution. On March 17, 1931, the Missouri House of Represented voted to impeach Brunk. After a two-month long impeachment trial, Brunk was acquitted on all of the charges and remained in his office as a result.[2]
