Bill 118 HRES 1354, titled "Impeaching Samuel Alito, Jr., Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that seeks to impeach Justice Samuel Alito for alleged misconduct.

The resolution accuses Justice Alito of committing high crimes and misdemeanors, which are serious offenses that are grounds for impeachment under the US Constitution. The specific allegations against Justice Alito are not detailed in the resolution, but it is likely that they relate to his conduct while serving on the Supreme Court.

Impeachment is a rare and serious process that can lead to the removal of a federal official from office. In order for Justice Alito to be impeached, the resolution would need to be approved by a majority vote in the House of Representatives. If the resolution passes the House, the Senate would then hold a trial to determine whether Justice Alito should be removed from the Supreme Court. It is important to note that impeachment is a highly political process, and the outcome of any impeachment proceedings would likely be influenced by the political makeup of Congress. As of now, it is unclear whether there is enough support in Congress to impeach Justice Alito. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1354 is a significant and controversial resolution that raises serious questions about the conduct of a sitting Supreme Court Justice. It will be interesting to see how Congress responds to these allegations and whether they ultimately lead to Justice Alito's impeachment.
