                               RESOLUTION

 
    Impeaching Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States 
 District Court for the District of Massachusetts, for high crimes and 
                             misdemeanors.

    Resolved, That Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States 
District Court for the District of Massachusetts, is impeached for high 
crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment 
be exhibited to the Senate:
     Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Allison Dale Burroughs, a 
judge of the United States District Court for the District of 
Massachusetts, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against 
her for high crimes and misdemeanors.

                               article i 

    Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States District Court 
for the District of Massachusetts, defied the authority of both Federal 
law and the Supreme Court of the United States, as follows:
    Judge Burroughs issued a stay on the lawful determination by the 
President of the United States to end temporary protected status for 
the nation of Somalia.
    In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs ignored the clear intention 
of Congress expressed in section 244(b)(5)(A) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(5)(A)) that ``[t]here is no judicial 
review of any determination of the [Secretary of Homeland Security] 
with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a 
[temporary protected status] designation, of a foreign state''.
    In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs attempted to get around the 
Supreme Court's ruling in Mullin v. Doe by entertaining spurious 
allegations of racial and national-origin discrimination against an 
Administration that has chosen to not renew a single temporary 
protected status designation.
    In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs usurped the authority 
delegated to the President of the United States to determine whether to 
extend temporary protected status.
    Accordingly, Judge Allison Dale Burroughs has engaged in conduct so 
contrary to her role under the Constitution of the United States that 
she is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit to hold the 
office of Federal judge, and should be removed from office.
