Impeaching Charles R. Breyer, Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

H. Res. 556 is a House of Representatives impeachment resolution proposing to impeach Charles R. Breyer, a Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The resolution, introduced by Mr. Fine and referred to the Judiciary Committee, asserts that Breyer has abused the powers of his office and violated his oath by using his judicial position to advance political objectives and interfere with the President’s prerogatives and the enforcement of the law. It exhibits an Article of Impeachment to the Senate alleging specific actions related to the National Guard and the President’s constitutional authority. The resolution describes Breyer’s conduct as jeopardizing national safety, undermining judicial impartiality, and creating a constitutional crisis, and it concludes that he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office. This is a formal impeachment action, not a bill to enact new laws, and if adopted by the House and later approved by a two-thirds Senate vote, it would lead to removal from office.
