Mr. Gill of Texas (for himself, Mr. Crane, Mr. Collins, Mr. Carter of Georgia, Mr. Moore of Alabama, and Mr. Clyde) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Impeaching James E. Boasberg, United States District Court Chief Judge for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against James E. Boasberg, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER
Chief Judge Boasberg, in violation of his oath of office, did knowingly and willfully use his judicial position to advance political gain while interfering with the President’s constitutional prerogatives and enforcement of the rule of law.
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that “civil Officers of the United States,” including Federal Judges, are subject to impeachment and removal.
Further, the separation of powers under the Constitution grants the President broad authority over the executive branch, including authority to protect the nation, as part of his role in ensuring the administration of laws, including the Alien Enemies Act, and policies of the United States.
