Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution impeaches Linda M. McMahon, the Secretary of Education, by adopting three articles alleging willful law violations, false statements to Congress, and breach of the public trust and directs that those articles be sent to the Senate. It is an action by the House of Representatives to formally accuse her of misconduct. The House vote itself does not remove her; the Senate must hold a trial and convict to remove her from office.
In the House, adopting articles of impeachment is done by a majority vote. After the House approves articles, the Senate has the sole power to try the impeachment, and removal from office would require a conviction in the Senate by the constitutionally required supermajority.
This House resolution articles of impeachment against Secretary of Education Linda M.
McMahon for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors.
It alleges willful and systemic refusal to comply with law by transferring statutory programs to other agencies, false statements to the Senate about spending appropriated funds, and breach of public trust through large staff cuts and canceled or delayed grants.
House impeachment plausible under partisan conditions, but Senate removal is highly unlikely absent a large bipartisan shift or overwhelming new evidence.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-documented articles-of-impeachment resolution that provides clear problem definition and strong integration with existing law, with detailed factual allegations and statutory citations supporting each article.
