Bill Summary
Impeaching Paul Adam Engelmayer, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
AI Summary
This resolution seeks to impeach Paul Adam Engelmayer, a United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, for alleged abuse of power and high crimes and misdemeanors. Specifically, the resolution alleges that Judge Engelmayer improperly used his judicial position to restrain President Trump and Secretary Bessent from accessing Department of the Treasury records, payment systems, and data containing personal or financial information. The resolution argues that these actions demonstrate bias, overstep judicial authority, and compromise the impartiality of the judicial system. The impeachment is grounded in the Constitutional provision that grants the House of Representatives the power to impeach civil officers of the United States, including federal judges, for misconduct. The resolution contends that by making what it characterizes as a political decision outside the scope of his legal duties, Judge Engelmayer violated his oath of office and should therefore be removed from his judicial position.
