## Summary

**Impeachment for alleged judicial abuse of power.** This resolution would impeach Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali for a pattern of conduct the sponsors say undermines presidential foreign-policy authority and the impartiality expected of a federal judge. - Judge Ali: Accuses him of "high crimes and misdemeanors" and urges his removal from the federal bench. - Presidential authority: Alleges his temporary restraining order forced the immediate release of funds paused by Executive Order 14169 and marginalized the President's Article II foreign-policy power. - Judicial integrity: Argues his written statements and orders reflect conduct incompatible with the trust placed in a federal judge, calling his actions arbitrary, capricious, and lacking intellectual honesty. - Foreign-aid oversight: Points to a March 2021 GAO report on USAID problems from FY 2015 to FY 2019 and a November 2024 finding about USAID-financed meals tied to al-Qaida-affiliated fighters to justify concern about immediate funding disbursement.
