- Title
LEGISLATIVE CONTROL OF JUDICIAL BEHAVIOR.
- Abstract
The article looks at issues concerning legislative control of judicial behavior in the U.S. An investigation was launched by Senator Joseph C. Tydings, chairman of the Subcommittee on Improvements in Judicial Machinery, in 1966 which focused on the availability and need for procedures to govern the removal, retirement and discipline of unfit federal judges. In a section of the U.S. Constitution, impeachment is considered as not the sole method for removing civil officers. The two areas of exclusive relationships stated in the Constitution include the definition of a separation of powers within the Congress and the power of the Senate to try impeachment cases excludes other branches of the government from the removal process.
