The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

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 Eleanor L. Ross, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. It accuses her of high crimes and misdemeanors. The text states that she engaged in sexual intercourse with a high-ranking Atlanta Police Department official inside her Federal courthouse chambers during regular business hours. It also states she did this while presiding over criminal cases and within earshot of her staff. Furthermore, the resolution claims she lied to other judges during the investigation into her behavior. Finally, it concludes that she is unfit for office and should be removed.
