01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution directs the House of Representatives to impeach Pamela Bondi and to exhibit articles of impeachment to the Senate. It sets out specific accusations against her, including obstruction of Congress, defiance of a law requiring disclosure of certain files, abuse of investigatory and prosecutorial power, defiance of courts, and perjury. Impeachment by the House is a formal accusation and not a criminal conviction. If the House approves these articles, the Senate will hold a trial to decide whether to convict and remove her from office.

Passage rules

In the House, articles of impeachment are adopted by a simple majority vote. After adoption, the House transmits the articles to the Senate, which holds a trial and requires a two-thirds vote to convict and remove the official.

This House resolution impeaches Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, and presents five articles of impeachment.

The articles allege obstruction of Congress for defying subpoenas and the Epstein Files Transparency Act, abuse of investigatory and prosecutorial powers, defiance of courts, and perjury in congressional testimony.

The resolution cites specific actions and examples to support each article and seeks Bondi’s removal following impeachment and trial in the Senate.

Passage12/100

Resolution is high-profile and partisan; House passage possible if majority aligned, but Senate conviction and removal are unlikely.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantively detailed impeachment resolution: it presents multiple, clearly articulated articles of impeachment with extensive factual allegations and references to existing subpoenas and a statute. It provides the core mechanism appropriate to impeachment (articles to be exhibited to the Senate) but omits procedural specifics, evidentiary standards, and operational contingencies, relying on standard congressional practice for those elements.
