AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.11
How might the balance of power among branches of government shift if Congress lost its ability to impeach federal judges?
It would strengthen Congressional powers as they focus more on legislative matters.
It would lead to increased judicial independence, which could disrupt checks and balances system.
There would be no significant change as impeachment is rarely used anyway.
It could lead to greater judicial activism without fear of reprisal from Congress.
