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 seeks to impeach Deborah Boardman, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The resolution alleges that she committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitutional standard of "good behavior." Specifically, it charges her with using her judicial position to interfere with the President's constitutional prerogatives and the enforcement of the rule of law. The impeachment focuses on her sentencing of Nicholas John Roske, who attempted to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice. The text claims her sentencing decision was based on political ideology rather than the law. Ultimately, the resolution calls for her removal from office.
