Impeaching John Glover Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors.
This bill, HR1309, proposes to impeach John Glover Roberts, Jr., the Chief Justice of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment is a process by which the House of Representatives can charge a federal official with wrongdoing and refer the case to the Senate for trial. If convicted, the official could be removed from office. This bill specifically targets Chief Justice Roberts, potentially leading to a Senate trial if the House votes to impeach him.
The bill would affect Chief Justice Roberts directly if it progresses through the legislative process. Other impacts could include significant attention and debate from the public and media, as well as potential changes in the judiciary if Roberts is removed from office.
As of the latest update, HR1309 was introduced on May 21, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This means that it is in the early stages of the legislative process and will require approval from the committee before it can move forward in the House. The current status shows that the bill is being reviewed by the committee, but no further actions have been taken yet.
