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 James E. Boasberg, United States District Court Chief Judge for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The text states that Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders and subpoenas. These orders covered several Members of Congress who were acting in accord with their legislative duties and privileges. The resolution also points out that the orders covered conservative nonprofit organizations and conservative activists. Ultimately, the text argues that Chief Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.
