Unlikely to pass

While the evidence from the judicial committee is specific, most impeachment resolutions introduced in the House do not reach a full floor vote or result in a Senate trial.

Key Points

Rep. Fuller introduced a resolution to remove Judge Eleanor Ross from her lifetime position on the federal court in Georgia. The resolution accuses her of high crimes and misdemeanors based on her behavior in the workplace.
The document alleges that Ross had a sexual relationship with a high-ranking police official inside her court chambers during regular business hours. This reportedly happened while she was actively handling criminal cases and within earshot of her staff.
Investigators claim Ross lied to senior judges about the relationship. She allegedly only admitted the truth after a special committee reviewed security footage, interviewed staff, and conducted laboratory tests on her office furniture.
The resolution argues that Ross showed a reckless disregard for her duties and is no longer fit to serve as a judge. If the House of Representatives approves the impeachment, the case would move to the Senate for a final trial.
