House Republicans have introduced multiple impeachment resolutions against President Joe Biden, focused largely on what they call lax enforcement of the U.S. border with Mexico. Other House impeachment efforts target Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the border issue and over investigations, or lack thereof, regarding bad boy presidential son Hunter Biden.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been noncommittal about impeachment proceedings. So have members of his House leadership team. But with impeachment still very much a live opportunity, here's what proceedings might look like and who they would target.As the biggest logistical lift, putting Biden on trial in the Senate appears unlikely for House Republicans. But House GOP lawmakers have been toying with efforts to do so since Biden took office in 2021 and they were still in the minority.
Since taking the House majority in January, Republicans have continued their efforts. They've shifted the focus away from a bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan and “undermining the energy security” of the country to zero in on the Biden administration's immigration policies. One of the resolutions, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert , survived its political infancy and has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee and the Homeland Security Committee. That's effectively a way for House Republican leaders to put the Boebert impeachment effort on ice for now while keeping open the option to take it up later.
"This is not a case of negligence. If it were, the implications would be different. The remedy would be different," Rep. Dan Bishop said during the first hearing last month."Intentional sabotage of the rule of law is something entirely different. It is an affront to the separation of powers to the institutional authority of the Congress, under the Constitution, and it invites another remedy — and that is impeachment.
