This resolution initiates impeachment proceedings against Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for high crimes and misdemeanors.

These actions are cited as compromising the separation of powers and violating existing federal statute regarding notification of legal process. The resolution calls for the judge's removal from office based on these alleged improprieties.
