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 resolution impeaching Senior Judge Charles R. Breyer of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for abuse of power and high crimes and misdemeanors. According to the resolution, the impeachment centers on allegations that Judge Breyer used his judicial authority to interfere with President Trump's constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles and required the President to ignore the Constitution by returning control of the National Guard to California's governor. The resolution argues that Judge Breyer's actions represent an abuse of judicial power that jeopardizes national safety and creates a constitutional crisis by prioritizing political gain over judicial impartiality. The resolution was introduced on June 27, 2025, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. If passed by the House, the impeachment would proceed to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Judge Breyer should be removed from office.
