{UAH} Trumptard administration threaten to abolish court system
To remove a judge from office, the House must pass articles of impeachment by a simple majority vote and then the Senate must vote by at least a two-thirds majority to convict the judge. Republicans control both chambers of Congress but do not have a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
Judges cannot be impeached for upholding the laws and the Constitution.
The federal court system was established by the Judiciary Act of 1789, which was signed into law by President George Washington on September 24, 1789, and was one of the first acts of the First Congress.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Constitutional Basis:
Article III of the U.S. Constitution created the Supreme Court and authorized Congress to pass laws establishing a system of lower federal courts.
Judiciary Act of 1789:
This act, signed by President Washington, provided the framework for the federal judiciary, including the creation of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts.
First Congress:
The Judiciary Act of 1789 was one of the first acts of the First Congress, demonstrating the founders' commitment to establishing a national judiciary.
Structure:
The Judiciary Act established a three-part judiciary, with the Supreme Court at the top, followed by circuit courts (which served as trial courts for most federal cases) and district courts.
Purpose
The founders believed that a national judiciary was essential for a well-organized republican government, serving as an independent branch alongside the legislative and executive branches.
