The U.S. House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas<\/a>, with the Republican majority determined to punish the Biden administration over its handling of the U.S-Mexico border after failing last week<\/a> in a politically embarrassing setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening roll call proved tight, with Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s threadbare GOP majority unable to handle many defectors or absences in the face of staunch Democratic opposition to impeaching Mayorkas<\/a>, the first Cabinet secretary facing charges in nearly 150 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(House Television via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a historic rebuke, the House impeached Mayorkas 214-213. With the return of Majority Leader Steve Scalise<\/a> to bolster the GOP\u2019s numbers after being away from Washington for cancer care and a Northeastern storm impacting some others, Republicans recouped \u2014 despite dissent from their own ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden said in a statement released after the vote, \u201cHistory will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GOP effort to impeach Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border has taken on an air of political desperation as Republicans struggle to make good on their priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayorkas faced two articles of impeachment filed by the Homeland Security Committee arguing that he \u201cwillfully and systematically\u201d refused to enforce existing immigration laws and that he breached the public trust by lying to Congress and saying the border was secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But critics of the impeachment effort said the charges against Mayorkas amount to a policy dispute over Biden\u2019s border policy, hardly rising to the Constitution\u2019s bar of high crimes and misdemeanors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House had initially launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden<\/a> over his son\u2019s business dealings, but instead turned its attention to Mayorkas after Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia pushed the debate forward following the panel\u2019s months-long investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charges against Mayorkas would next go to the Senate for a trial, but neither Democratic nor Republican senators have shown interest in the matter and it may be indefinitely shelved to a committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Border security has shot to the top of campaign issues, with Donald Trump<\/a>, the Republican front-runner for the presidential nomination, insisting he will launch \u201cthe largest domestic deportation operation in American history\u201d if he retakes the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various House Republicans have prepared legislation to begin deporting migrants who were temporarily allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration\u2019s policies, many as they await adjudication of asylum claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have no choice,\u201d Trump said in stark language at a weekend rally in South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Johnson rejected a bipartisan Senate border security package<\/a> but has been unable to advance Republicans\u2019 own proposal which is a nonstarter in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Republican representatives broke ranks last week over the Mayorkas impeachment, which several leading conservative scholars have dismissed as unwarranted and a waste of time. With a 219-212 majority, Johnson had few votes to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayorkas is not the only Biden administration official the House Republicans want to impeach. They have filed legislation to impeach a long list including Vice President Kamala Harris, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never before has a sitting Cabinet secretary been impeached, and it was nearly 150 years ago that the House voted to impeach President Ulysses S. Grant\u2019s secretary of war, William Belknap, over a kickback scheme in government contracts. He resigned before the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayorkas, who did not appear to testify before the impeachment proceedings, put the border crisis squarely on Congress for failing to update immigration laws during a time of global migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no question that we have a challenge, a crisis at the border,\u201d Mayorkas said over the weekend on NBC. \u201cAnd there is no question that Congress needs to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson and the Republicans have pushed back, arguing that the Biden administration could take executive actions, as Trump did, to stop the number of crossings \u2014 though the courts have questioned and turned back some of those efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe always explore what options are available to us that are permissible under the law,\u201d Mayorkas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week\u2019s failed vote to impeach Mayorkas \u2014 a surprise outcome rarely seen on such a high-profile issue \u2014 was a stunning display in the chamber that has been churning through months of GOP chaos since the ouster of the previous House speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the Republican holdouts, Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, who had served as a Marine, announced over the weekend<\/a> he would not be seeking reelection in the fall, joining a growing list of serious-minded Republican lawmakers heading for the exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who had been hospitalized for emergency abdominal surgery, made a surprise arrival, wheeled into the chamber in scrubs and socks to vote against it \u2014 leaving the vote tied, and failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously, you feel good when you can make a difference,\u201d said Green, describing his painstaking route from hospital bed to the House floor. \u201cAll I did was what I was elected to do, and that was to cast my vote on the issues of our time, using the best judgment available to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans are hopeful the New York special election will boost their ranks further, but the outcome of that race is uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
