HRES 1479 United States House · 119th Congress

Impeaching Russell Thurlow Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution seeks to impeach Russell Thurlow Vought, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill outlines two specific articles of impeachment: one accusing Vought of abusing power by withholding congressionally appropriated funds based on political considerations rather than legal authority, and another claiming he failed to faithfully execute laws by substituting executive priorities for statutory requirements. The text cites specific actions, such as pausing federal financial assistance programs and terminating billions in Department of Energy grants, as evidence of these alleged violations. Ultimately, the resolution requests that Vought be tried by the Senate and removed from office if the charges are upheld.
