Impeachment

In his statement, Rep. Thanedar — who serves Michigan’s 13th Congressional District — accused President Trump of “sweeping abuses of power, blatant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that endanger American democracy and the rule of law.”

The announcement comes just one day ahead of President Trump’s scheduled rally in Macomb County, intended to commemorate his first 100 days in office.

South Korea’s top court ended months of political turmoil when it unanimously decided to remove the impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, clearing the way for the country to elect a new leader.

But the political crisis that Mr. Yoon triggered with his misjudged declaration of martial law in December — and his ensuing impeachment by the National Assembly — exposed a deep fissure in South Korea’s polarized politics that may prove harder to heal. For months, protesters for and against Mr. Yoon have taken over the streets in Seoul.

Hard-right House Republicans have a new project — impeaching federal judges who have questioned President Donald Trump’s powers — and it’s quickly turning into the latest headache for Speaker Mike Johnson.

The push to remove jurists who have sought to halt Trump’s firings of federal employees, access to sensitive government systems and deportations of alleged foreign gang members has virtually no chance of succeeding, given the 67-vote requirement in the Senate for removal.

In an extraordinary display of conflict between the executive and judiciary branches, Chief Justice John Roberts rejected calls for impeaching judges shortly after President Donald Trump demanded the removal of one who ruled against his deportation plans.

The rebuke from the Supreme Court’s leader demonstrated how controversy over recent flights of Venezuelan immigrants has inflamed tensions over the judiciary’s role, with a legal case challenging Trump’s actions now threatening to spiral into a clash of constitutional powers.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked President Donald Trump after the president called for the impeachment of a federal judge who issued orders blocking Trump’s plan to deport any more alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the United States.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement on Trump’s demand.

Lawmakers from South Korea’s opposition party impeached Prime Minister and acting President Han Duck-soo.

The impeachment is the latest event to mar South Korea after a political firestorm following a sudden, unpopular declaration of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol. The declaration led to Yoon’s impeachment on Dec. 14.

Han’s impeachment was the first time an interim leader had been impeached in South Korean history. He was in office for just 13 days, making him the shortest-serving leader in South Korean history, a record...

The impeachment of South Korea’s acting President Han Duck-soo Friday has plunged the country into further political turmoil, coming less than two weeks after lawmakers impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The successive impeachments that suspended the country’s top two officials are unprecedented, and the deputy prime minister and finance minister, Choi Sang-mok, is now South Korea’s new interim leader. Upon taking over power, Choi swiftly ordered the military to boost readiness to thwart potential North Korean...
