WATCH: GOP Rep Takes Action to Remove Judge Boasberg from Office Over Alleged Violation of “Good Behavior Clause”

MAGA hardliner Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) slammed Judge James Boasberg in a viral Fox News segment, accusing him of violating the Good Behavior Clause of the U.S. Constitution and announcing his intention to fire the controversial judge.

For context, Boasberg undermined President Trump’s authority by blocking the president’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Tren de Aragua gang to Venezuela. This unprecedented move drew widespread condemnation from conservatives, and Republican lawmakers have sought to curtail activist judges since then.

Beginning the April 1, 2025, FNC segment, Biggs explained Article Three of the Constitution. He said, “Again, we get to this point of what Article Three, section one allows, it only allows a federal district judge, or any judge actually to serve under a term of good behavior. During good behavior is the actual quote from the Constitution.”

Building on that point, he explored how Boasberg might have violated the Constitution. Biggs added, “And when you’re abusing your power here, trying to overrun what the President is doing lawfully under other statutory and constitutional provisions, then you are the one that is not acting in good behavior, and probably, in my opinion, you should be removed from office, which is why I’ve introduced a bill dealing with this very topic.”

Hammering the woke judge, the courageous Republican drove his point home. He said, “Somebody like judge Boasberg is going to have to respond to it’s not an impeachment, because impeachment would require certain article two, section four, allegations, but Article Three, section one, says you only get to serve during term of good behavior, and that’s, I think he’s exceeded that and demonstrated very clearly that he should be removed.”

Before the interview, Rep. Biggs published a press release to explain his solution. He began, “Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced a resolution to remove James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for failure to maintain the standard of good behavior required by the U.S. Constitution.”

Judge Boasberg’s willful interference with President Trump’s enforcement of immigration law is an abuse of judicial power.

Adding to his argument, he wrote, “Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to establish all federal courts inferior to the U.S. Supreme Court, and establishes that judges may only hold their positions during good behavior. This provision is separate and distinct from Congress’s authority to impeach civil officers for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Then he explained how Boasberg targeted the president. The press release said, “As detailed in the resolution, Judge James Boasberg knowingly and unjustly interfered with President Trump’s execution of foreign policy and targeted President Trump for partisan purposes and political gain. Under the Good Behavior Clause, Boasberg’s actions constitute misbehavior and subject him to removal from office.”

Concluding the argument, Biggs made a direct statement to the press. He added, “We cannot stand by while activist judges who incorrectly believe they have more authority than the duly elected President of the United States impose their own political agenda on the American people.”

Further skewering the woke judge, he said, “Judge Boasberg abused his judicial authority for political gain and is not in compliance with the constitutional Good Behavior Clause. He must not be permitted to remain in his position. Congress has a duty to fulfill the promises we’ve made to the American people, including defending the President’s authority to enforce our laws.”
