Bill > HRes143

This resolution seeks to impeach Paul Engelmayer, a federal judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution presents two articles of impeachment: the first accuses Judge Engelmayer of judicial misconduct and abuse of judicial authority, specifically related to his ruling halting a presidential executive order establishing a Department of Government Efficiency. The resolution claims the judge demonstrated bias against President Donald Trump and the 74 million Americans who voted for him by issuing a ruling on political grounds and submitting an injunction "in the middle of the night" that might have been intended to influence case outcomes. The second article alleges abuse of judicial power by using his judicial office to further personal or political interests and failing to apply the law impartially. The resolution argues that these actions constitute high crimes and misdemeanors and calls for Judge Engelmayer's removal from office. Impeachment is a serious constitutional process by which a federal official can be removed from office for serious misconduct, requiring first a vote in the House of Representatives and then a trial in the Senate.
