Bill > HRes556

This resolution seeks to impeach Charles R. Breyer, a Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution focuses on a single article of impeachment centered on an accusation of abuse of power, specifically claiming that Judge Breyer improperly interfered with presidential authority during a situation involving the National Guard in Los Angeles, California. The resolution alleges that Judge Breyer attempted to prevent President Trump from using the National Guard to enforce the law and required the President to return the National Guard to the Governor of California, actions which the resolution characterizes as overstepping judicial authority, compromising judicial impartiality, and creating a constitutional crisis. The document argues that these actions violated Judge Breyer's oath of office and judicial duty of impartiality, and suggests that he used his judicial position to advance political gain while interfering with the President's constitutional prerogatives. As a result, the resolution calls for Judge Breyer's removal from office, invoking the constitutional provision that allows the House of Representatives to impeach federal civil officers, including federal judges, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
