A new piece of legislation could be the key to finally getting a leftist judge removed from office after he attempted to block President Trump\u2019s plan to deport illegal immigrants to El Salvador, leading Congress to try to move beyond impeachment to get rid of the judge for good.<\/p>\n
For context, a resolution introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is seeking to bypass the formal impeachment process of Judge James Boasberg, who has come under fire after he reportedly imposed a temporary order that prevented the separation of illegal immigrants to El Salvador. The resolution, which was introduced on March 31, 2025, would remove Judge Boasberg from office for failure to comply with the \u201cGood Behavior\u201d Clause of the United States Constitution.<\/p>\n
According to a press release from Rep. Biggs, the resolution draws on Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution \u2014 also known as the \u201cGood Behavior\u201d Clause \u2014which allows Congress to establish all federal courts inferior to the U.S. Supreme Court, and establishes that judges may only hold their positions during good behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, the press release explained that Judge Boasberg arguably violated the Constitution when he \u201cknowingly and unjustly interfered with President Trump\u2019s execution of foreign policy and targeted President Trump for partisan purposes and political gain.\u201d The release continued, \u201cUnder the Good Behavior Clause, Boasberg\u2019s actions constitute misbehavior and subject him to removal from office.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on the need for Judge Boasberg to be removed from office, Congressman Biggs said, \u201cWe cannot stand by while activist judges who incorrectly believe they have more authority than the duly-elected President of the United States, impose their own political agenda on the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing, Rep. Biggs argued that impeachment, which has already been the subject of several resolutions, would not be effective enough to remove Boasberg. He explained, \u201cI have cosponsored resolutions to impeach Judge Boasberg. His removal from office via impeachment, however, will undoubtedly be blocked by Democrats in the Senate, since it requires a two-thirds majority.\u201d Rep. Biggs added, \u201cMy resolution, on the other hand, asserts, pursuant to Article III, Section 1, that rogue judges may be removed the same way we confirm them \u2014 by a simple majority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concluding his statement, Rep. Biggs made the case that Judge Boasberg \u201cabused his judicial authority for political gain,\u201d adding that he \u201cis not in compliance with the Constitutional Good Behavior Clause.\u201d With a tangible sense of urgency, Rep. Biggs asserted, \u201cHe must not be permitted to remain in his position. Congress has a duty to fulfill the promises we\u2019ve made to the American people, including defending the President\u2019s authority to enforce our laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the resolution, Rep. Biggs also argued that Judge Boasberg has \u201cknowingly extended beyond the bounds of power of his office,\u201d adding that the judge \u201cunjustly interfered in the execution of foreign policy for partisan purposes of halting the implementation of the President\u2019s foreign policy and for political gain.\u201d Rep. Biggs concluded that Boasberg \u201cshould be removed from office and no longer be considered a judge of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
