Summary
This resolution proposes the impeachment of Paul Engelmayer , a judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The House of Representatives intends to exhibit articles of impeachment to the Senate, seeking his removal from office. The first article, titled "judicial misconduct and abuse of judicial authority," claims Judge Engelmayer engaged in misconduct by halting President Donald J. Trump's executive order on purely political grounds, demonstrating clear bias and prejudice. It further alleges he acted outside judicial propriety by submitting a ruling showing bias and willfully disregarding established legal precedent, potentially with intent to influence case outcomes. The second article, "abuse of judicial power," asserts that Judge Engelmayer used his authority to further personal or political interests, undermining justice through improper handling of a case that demonstrated favoritism or undue influence.
