George English

George Washington English, Sr.' (May 9, 1866 – July 1941) was a United States federal judge.

Appointed to the Eastern District of Illinois in 1918, English was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives in 1926 for abusive treatment of lawyers and litigants appearing before him. He resigned from office on November 4, 1926, before his trial began. The U.S. Senate subsequently dismissed the charges against him.

Judge George English was impeached partly due to the efforts of Congressman Hatton Sumners. In 1942, Sumners called for impeachment proceedings against President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
