President Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to impeach federal judges that stand in their way.

Legal experts say the threats are just one way the White House is trying to undercut the judiciary.

Only 14 federal judges have been impeached throughout history.

It would take a majority vote in the House and two-thirds of the Senate to convict a judge of impeachment.

"In over 200 years , no federal judge has ever been impeached and removed from office based on their decision," Gerhardt , who has written a book about the history of impeachment, told BI . "Not one, and that tells us something. Impeachment is not the appropriate process to use if you disagree with what a judge rules.".
