Removing James E. Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for failure to remain in good behavior pursuant to section 1 of article III of the Constitution.
This resolution, introduced on March 31, 2025, seeks to remove Chief Judge James E. Boasberg from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia based on alleged failure to maintain "good behavior" as required by the Constitution. The resolution argues that Judge Boasberg abused his judicial power by interfering with President Trump's March 2025 proclamation using the Alien Enemies Act to apprehend and deport Venezuelan members of Tren de Aragua, claiming the judge extended beyond his authority by reviewing decisions on matters of foreign policy and national security that are constitutionally reserved to the President. The resolution also alleges undisclosed payments from non-federal sources and improper conduct during his service on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. If approved by the House, the resolution would be forwarded to the Senate for consideration of whether to remove the judge from office. The bill contains no funding provisions or implementation timelines, as it is purely a removal proceeding.
