After Failing Once, House Impeaches Secretary of Open Borders Population Replacement Alejandro Majorkas

Good.

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted 214-213 to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis.

...

The impeachment vote was based on accusations that Mayorkas deliberately flouted existing immigration laws, exacerbating the migrant crisis at the U.S. border.

Three Republicans voted against the impeachment, expressing concerns over the precedent it could set for future political impeachments.

The impeachment vote was a contentious one, with every House Democrat rallying to protect Mayorkas during the previous attempt. This time, however, the vote passed by a slim margin. The three Republicans who voted against the impeachment - Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin (retiring), Ken Buck of Colorado (retiring), and Tom McClintock of California, criticized Mayorkas' handling of the border crisis but questioned whether it warranted impeachment. McClintock, in particular, warned of the potential for this to set a precedent for politically motivated impeachments in the future.

Of course, this does not remove him from office, and of course, the pro-Open Borders senate -- including open borders "Republicans" -- will fight to keep him in office.

In fact, even though the Constitution requires a trial after a vote for impeachment, Democrats (and Mitch McConnell, I'm sure) are scheming to blow off the trial and just ignore the impeachment.

CBS "News:"

"[The Constitution] says that the Senate 'shall' have the sole power to hold a trial, but that 'shall' is doing a lot of work there and it doesn't mandate it," says Casey Burgat, the director of the Legislative Affairs Program at George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management. "And in a lot of people's eyes, it doesn't force it."

The Senate rules suggest that once the chamber receives the articles of impeachment from the House, they must schedule a trial to begin the following day, Burgat explained. But a majority could vote to "reinterpret" the rules, opening up a number of avenues to speed through, delay or dismiss the impeachment outright.

"Depending on the entrepreneurship of the people there and how much the majority is willing to not do that, they've got a lot of options to kind of rejigger the rule," Burgat said.

Yeah we're doing a lot of rejiggering of the Constitution lately anyway. Might as well just scrap this 100+ year old plan of self-government.

That doesn't mean the impeachment is without effect. Once the House impeaches a target, its power to demand documents and testimony -- evidence, in other words -- expands and The Regime's power to "rejigger" the rules in their favor shrinks.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who today faces a second impeachment vote in the House, personally rejected an "urgent" appeal from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secret Service protection.

In a letter dated July 21, 2023, two weeks after the urgent appeal, Mayorkas dismissed the request without explanation.
