'''Samuel Chase''' (1741–1811) served as an Associate Justice of the [[United States Supreme Court]] during the [[Marshall Court]]. He was also a signer of the [[Declaration of Independence]] on behalf of [[Maryland]].
Active in the [[Federalist Party]], Justice Chase became the target of an [[impeachment]] effort led by [[Democratic-Republican]] President [[Thomas Jefferson]]. Chase was impeached but not convicted (removed from office) by the [[Senate]]. This established a precedent against the impeachment of [[federal]] judges for political reasons.
