House Republicans Push for Impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary
House Republicans are considering impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security. Mayorkas is accused of dereliction of duty and breaking the law by Republicans, while Democrats maintain that there is no constitutional basis for impeachment. The Republicans' push for impeachment stems from their promise to hold Mayorkas accountable and their frustration with the slow progress of the impeachment investigation into President Biden. The outcome of the potential impeachment remains uncertain, as the Republicans would need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to proceed.
