Impeaching Theodore Chuang, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This House resolution, H. Res. 246, formally impeaches Theodore Chuang, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution presents a single article of impeachment that accuses Judge Chuang of a pattern of conduct incompatible with the duties of a federal judge. The core allegations center on a March 18, 2025 memorandum opinion in the case J. Does v. Elon Musk, et al., in which the judge allegedly undermined the President’s Article II authority over foreign policy and national security by issuing a temporary restraining order that required reinstating access to government systems for USAID employees and related entities. The bill also asserts that his actions were arbitrary and capricious and tied to broader claims about USAID’s handling of foreign assistance and national security risks, citing a 2021 GAO report and a November 2024 report about USAID funding meals for al-Qaida–affiliated fighters. The resolution concludes that such conduct shows he is unfit to hold federal office and should be removed from office. The sponsors are Representatives Ogles and Davidson, and the resolution has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
