A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution impeaches Paul Engelmayer, a judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for high crimes and misdemeanors. It was submitted in the House of Representatives by Mr. Van Orden on February 18, 2025. The text contains two articles outlining the charges against the judge. Article I focuses on judicial misconduct and abuse of judicial authority related to halting an Executive order. Article II focuses on the abuse of judicial power by using authority to further personal or political interests. The resolution concludes that Judge Engelmayer is guilty and should be removed from office.
