Bill Summary · HR 6

Legislative bill overview

HR 6 is a state house resolution that seeks to impeach Minnesota Governor Timothy J. Walz, alleging corrupt conduct in office. The resolution has been referred to the Rules and Legislative Administration Committee and has attracted multiple co-sponsors since its introduction in March 2026.

Why is this important

Gubernatorial impeachment is a rare constitutional procedure with significant political consequences. If pursued, this resolution would trigger formal investigation and potential removal of the sitting governor, fundamentally disrupting state governance. The outcome would depend on whether the House votes to impeach and whether the state Senate convicts on the charges presented.

Potential points of contention

  • Specificity of charges: The resolution references "corrupt conduct" but the publicly available summary does not detail specific alleged actions, making it unclear what constitutes the basis for impeachment proceedings
  • Partisan composition: All identified sponsors appear aligned with one political faction, raising questions about whether this reflects bipartisan concern or partisan strategy
  • Evidentiary standard: Impeachment resolutions require substantiation; without documented evidence of actual corruption (as distinct from policy disagreements), legislative viability is questionable
