Legislative Progress
Impeaching a federal official is a very long and difficult process that rarely ends in removal. While the House might vote to impeach, getting the Senate to agree is much harder.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
The resolution seeks to remove a federal judge whose conduct allegedly created a hostile and uncomfortable workplace for court staff, including law clerks who reportedly overheard sexual activity. If successful, removal would restore a professional work environment for federal court employees in the Northern District of Georgia.
“At least 3 of Judge Ross' former clerks heard sounds resulting from the intimate contact coming from Judge Ross' chambers, thereby adversely affecting those staff members.”
