Several House Republicans have said they will be drafting articles of impeachment against judges who are blocking the Trump administration’s actions, particularly when it comes to the Department of Government Efficiency. 

Both Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have pledged to hold Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York accountable after he ruled last weekend to temporarily restrict Elon Musk and DOGE aides from accessing a Treasury Department payment system. Crane said he is working on drafting up articles of impeachment.

“Our case for impeaching Judge Engelmayer is basically that he’s an activist judge trying to stop the Trump administration from, you know, executing their, you know, Article 2 powers to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed,” Crane shared of his impeachment plans for Engelmayer on the One America News Network.

Meanwhile, Greene shared to the Hill that judges can’t take away powers from Cabinet secretaries even though Elon Musk is not an official Cabinet member. However, the Justice Department argued that Engelmayer’s order could be read to include restricting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s authority to share the department’s payment system. 

“They can’t do that, especially when they have a serious record of Democrat activism and being hardcore against President Trump,” Greene told the Hill. “So, yeah, judges like that, they definitely should be impeached.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) said he is writing up an impeachment resolution against Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell Jr. over his ruling which blocked the Trump administration’s freeze on federal funding.

“He’s a partisan activist weaponizing our judicial system to stop President Trump’s funding freeze on woke and wasteful government spending,” Clyde stated on X on Wednesday. “We must end this abusive overreach.” 

House GOP leaders have been silent when it comes to talks of impeaching the judges. It would require near-unanimous support from House Republicans to impeach a judge without the support of Democrats. In order to convict a judge, it would require two-thirds of the Senate to convict on those impeachment articles.
