House resolution to impeach Judge Engelmayer

This resolution would impeach Paul Engelmayer, a U.S. District Court judge in the Southern District of New York. It would present two Articles of Impeachment to the United States Senate. Article I alleges judicial misconduct and bias for halting President Donald J. Trump's executive order, issuing rulings that disregarded precedent, and an injunction issued late at night. The article also says his rulings showed prejudice against the President and the 74,000,000 Americans who voted for him. Article II alleges he used his office for personal or political interests and showed favoritism. If adopted by the House, this would be a formal charge; removal would still require a Senate trial and conviction.
