  • Like impeaching and convicting a president, there is a high bar to cross to remove a federal judge from the bench, despite Donald Trump's calls.

The article from MSN discusses the recent comments by Donald Trump and Elon Musk regarding the impeachment of judges, particularly in light of Trump's legal battles. Trump has criticized judges involved in his cases, notably Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing his election interference case, and has suggested that judges should be impeached for what he perceives as bias. Similarly, Elon Musk has echoed these sentiments, questioning the impartiality of the judicial system. However, the article explains that impeaching a federal judge is a complex and rare process, requiring a simple majority in the House to impeach and a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict and remove. Historically, only 15 federal judges have been impeached, with eight removed from office, indicating that such threats are largely symbolic and unlikely to result in actual impeachment due to the high bar set for removal and the political nature of the process. The piece also notes that these threats might be more about influencing public perception than achieving judicial removal.
