Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- 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 introduces articles of impeachment against Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The text lays out five specific articles detailing allegations of high crimes and misdemeanors. It claims that the judge abused her judicial authority by issuing an injunction that halted President Trump's SAVE program. Furthermore, the document argues that this action encroached upon executive powers and violated the separation of powers. Ultimately, the resolution seeks her trial, removal from office, and disqualification from holding future offices.
