WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 15, 2025 - Several House Republicans are preparing articles of impeachment against the federal judges who are blocking some of President Donald J. Trump’s and Elon Musk’s key policies.
Federal judges have blocked Trump’s executive order that limits transgender care for minors, and his regime’s plan to reduce the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Agency for International Development (USAID) by placing 2,200 employees on administrative leave.
Another federal judge blocked Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department payment records.
GOP Rep. Eli Crane (Ariz.) is preparing articles of impeachment against FPSA District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury department, according to The Hill.
“Our case for impeaching Judge Engelmayer is basically that he’s an activist judge trying to stop the Trump (regime) from executing their Article 2 powers to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed,” Crane told former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on his One America News Network show.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (Geo.) on Wednesday announced that he is preparing an article of impeachment against Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell, Jr. for pausing the Trump regime’s efforts to freeze federal funding.
“I’m drafting articles of impeachment for (FPSA) District Judge John McConnell, Jr.,” he shared on X. “He’s a partisan activist weaponizing our judicial system to stop President Trump’s funding freeze on woke and wasteful government spending. We must end this abusive overreach.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Geo.), who is chairman of the House Oversight Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee, did not specifically state that she was preparing articles of impeachment, but supported Crane’s plan by vowing to hold Engelmayer accountable during a subcommittee hearing.
Although the House has the power to introduce articles of impeachment against judges, presidents and other elected officials, it cannot remove them.
The Senate votes to remove a judge, and would need two-thirds of the chamber’s votes to do so. Republicans only hold 53 seats in the upper chamber.
