Impeaching Russell Thurlow Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Sponsored By: Representative Kamlager-Dove, Sydney [D-CA-37]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution centers on an alleged _abuse of power over federal appropriations_ by the OMB Director and a related failure to faithfully execute spending laws. It would impeach Russell Thurlow Vought for directing pauses and terminations of congressionally appropriated programs and for substituting Administration priorities for statutory requirements.

Show full summary
  • Congress and oversight: The articles contend OMB used Memorandum M-25-13 to withhold or delay funds, raising separation-of-powers concerns and prompting GAO review of executive withholding rules.
  • Grant recipients and states: The resolution points to an October 1, 2025 action that it says led to termination of about $8 billion in Department of Energy projects, affecting 321 grants across 16 states.
  • Accountability for the official: The articles charge that these actions amounted to unlawful impoundment and failure to execute laws, and they would expose the director to Senate trial, removal, and possible disqualification from future office.
