In 1989, Hastings was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for corruption and perjury. The Democratic-controlled Senate convicted Judge Hastings of accepting a $150,000 bribe in 1981 in exchange for a lenient sentence. He became only the sixth Judge in the history of impeachment in the United States to be removed from office by the United States Senate.
His impeachment was remanded back to the Senate by Judge Stanley Sporkin for procedural reasons, but the Supreme Court ruled in a similar case, regarding Judge Walter Nixon, who had also been impeached and removed, that the courts had no jurisdiction to review Senate impeachment procedures. Hastings’ case was dismissed, and his impeachment and removal remained valid.
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again when it removed him, but did not do so.
