AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would impeach Russell Thurlow Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and send two articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial. The first article charges abuse of power by pausing, withholding, or ending funds that Congress had already approved. It cites a January 2025 memo pausing federal aid, the termination of about $8 billion in Department of Energy projects, and court filings saying political factors were used in deciding which grants to end. The second article charges failure to faithfully carry out federal spending laws. Both articles call for his trial and removal from office.
