Biden faces second impeachment filing in two days.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against President Biden

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, making her the second Republican this week to do so. On Monday, Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee introduced articles of impeachment against Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, of which Boebert was a co-sponsor.

Boebert’s articles of impeachment focus on the rampant illegal immigration allowed by the Biden administration. “It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” the congresswoman told Fox News. “Given the severity of the violation of Joe Biden’s constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the president, United States to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, this is something that we must do with our majorities in the House of Representatives.”

Boebert Wants Action on Impeachment in the GOP-Majority House

Boebert said she wanted to see action on impeachment in the GOP-majority House. “If the committees and or leadership does not step up and actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe, then I will call my legislation my articles of impeachment for a privileged motion,” the congresswoman said.

Boebert said that under House rules, she could “go to the House floor and call up my articles of impeachment and read it in its entirety. And at that point, leadership has a maximum of two days to respond and see if it’s going to be sent to committee or a vote on the articles themselves.”

Joe Biden has totally failed at his Constitutional duty to secure our Southern Border.

For that reason, I have just introduced articles of impeachment to remove him from office.https://t.co/SlgmIkI4Cj

Boebert’s News Release

In a news release on her website, Boebert said that on Biden’s watch, the Border Patrol encountered more than 5.3 million illegal immigrants, with at least 1.5 million illegal immigrants having eluded the Border Patrol. “To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, it is imperative that the House of Representatives impeach Joe Biden and hold him accountable for his egregious violations of his oath of office,” the release said.

The text of the impeachment resolution says, “Using the powers of his high office, President Biden has knowingly presided over an executive branch that has continuously, overtly, and consistently violated Federal immigration law by pursuing an aggressive, open-borders agenda by purposefully and knowingly releasing more than 2,000,000 illegal aliens into the interior of the United States without the intention or ability to ensure that they appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation proceedings.”

“Neglecting the powers of his high office, President Biden has abandoned his duties to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed and upheld,” the resolution says, adding, “Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the office of the President of the United States.”

“President Biden has intentionally facilitated a complete and total invasion at the southern border,” it says.

The resolution introduced by Boebert said Biden’s “negligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational control of the border to the complete and total control of foreign, criminal cartels — putting the lives of American citizens in jeopardy.”

It remains to be seen whether Boebert’s articles of impeachment will gain traction in the House, but it’s clear that she is determined to hold President Biden accountable for his actions.
