Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This resolution would impeach Secretary of Education Linda M. McMahon and send three articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate for trial. Article I charges that she broke federal law by moving programs and services from six Department of Education offices to other federal agencies through interagency agreements without an Act of Congress. Article II charges that she made false statements to a Senate committee in February 2025 by pledging to spend money Congress appropriated, then canceling or halting grants and contracts. Article III charges that she breached the public trust by cutting about half of the Department's workforce, which the resolution links to delays in sending out education funding. The resolution states she should be removed from office and barred from holding future federal office.
