Impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary - Unconstitutional Basis for Impeachment
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer dismissed the charges of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Ali Mayorkas as unconstitutional due to the lack of evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors in the accusations. The basis for Schumer's move was the legal argument that impeachment requires a specific level of wrongdoing as outlined in the Constitution, which the charges against Mayorkas did not meet. Schumer's action halted the trial in the Senate, preventing a trial on grounds that the accusations did not align with precedents on impeachable offenses.
