Bill > HRes229

This resolution seeks to impeach James E. Boasberg, the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for alleged abuse of power. The resolution argues that Judge Boasberg violated his oath of office and constitutional responsibilities by interfering with presidential authority, specifically concerning the Alien Enemies Act. The primary accusation centers on Boasberg's judicial actions related to immigration and national security, including preventing President Trump from removing aliens associated with Tren de Aragua (a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization) and allegedly requiring the President to turn around planes mid-flight carrying such individuals. The resolution contends that by second-guessing presidential determinations on national security matters, Boasberg overstepped his judicial authority, usurped executive power, and compromised judicial impartiality. Drawing on Supreme Court precedent (Ludecke v. Watkins), the resolution argues that judges should not substitute their judgment for political decisions made by the executive branch, particularly in matters of national security. As a result, the resolution calls for Boasberg's removal from office, charging him with high crimes and misdemeanors for what it characterizes as a serious abuse of judicial power.
