In response to the Article of Impeachment:
RESOLUTION

Article of impeachment exhibited by the Home of Representatives of the US of America within the identify of itself and of the individuals of the US of America, towards Theodore Chuang, a decide of the US District Courtroom for the District of Maryland, in upkeep and help of its impeachment towards him for top crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE I
Theodore Chuang, a decide of the US District Courtroom for the District of Maryland, engaged in a sample of conduct that’s incompatible with the belief and confidence positioned in him as a Federal decide as follows:
Choose Chuang, in his memorandum opinion on March 18, 2023, associated to the case J. Does 1 v. Elon Musk, et al., issued a preliminary injunction ordering, amongst different issues, the federal government “to reinstate entry to e mail, funds, safety notifications, and different digital techniques, which had been improperly deleted, inflicting plaintiffs to lose USAID workers and PSCs.”
In issuing a brief restraining order requiring provision of techniques entry to those workers and PSCs, Choose Chuang has with out benefit marginalized the President’s Article II authority which vests the ability to conduct overseas coverage within the President of the US.
This contains the designation of individuals or powers – which prevents the President from refusing to offer continued techniques entry requested by USAID workers who’ve, amongst different issues, disbursed funds to organizations linked to Overseas Terrorist Organizations – is solely inconsistent with serving the US as a district courtroom decide.
Choose Chuang, in mandating the fast provision of entry to authorities techniques with out regard for the President’s obligation below Article II to defend the nationwide safety of the US, has completed so in a way that’s arbitrary and capricious.
Choose Chuang mandated such entry with out regard for the troubled historical past of overseas help via the US Company for Worldwide Improvement (USAID).
A March 2021 GAO report signifies that from FY2015 till FY2019, USAID didn’t persistently be certain that subawards supplied for initiatives within the Gaza Strip and Jordan and Somalia complied with laws aimed toward stopping monetary misuse by terrorist teams.
Extra just lately, in November 2021, USAID was discovered to have financed a whole lot of 1000’s of meals for al-Qaida affiliated fighters in Syria. Whereas arguing that the Trump Administration’s reorganization of USAID triggered “irreparable hurt” to the plaintiffs, Choose Chuang failed to think about that his choices might simply inflict “irreparable hurt” on Individuals and America.
Accordingly, Choose Theodore Chuang has engaged in such conduct as to carry the priority for the separation of powers and the nationwide safety of the US that he’s responsible of excessive crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit to carry the workplace of Federal decide, and must be faraway from workplace.
