Plain-English Summary

A federal judge in Rhode Island would face removal from office if the House of Representatives votes to impeach him based on allegations of serious wrongdoing. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for investigation and consideration of whether the charges warrant a full House vote on impeachment. If the House votes to impeach, the case would then go to the Senate for a trial to determine whether the judge should be permanently removed from his position.
