Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, filed the first articles of impeachment against a member of the Biden cabinet, accusing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro...
The House has impeached three presidents – Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump twice. All four trials ended in acquittal. Mayorkas would be the first cabinet member to face impeachment since 1876.
But Fallon sees excellent prospects for impeachment to reach the House floor and predicted that Gonzales may end up as the only House GOP holdout. Belknap resigned on March 2, 1876, hoping to avoid the ordeal. But the House was undeterred, and approved five articles of impeachment later that day related to kickbacks that had supported a notably extravagant lifestyle during his eight years at Grant’s side.
One article of Fallon’s impeachment resolution accuses Mayorkas of failing in his legal duty to maintain “operational control” of the border, as shown by 5.5 million illegal crossings during his tenure. The article also cites the department’s refusal to detain every migrant it catches, though Congress has never provided enough funds to avoid such choices.
