Democrats will stand together and vote to not remove him, the Senate will also not have enough votes to convict President Biden in a trial should he be impeached. They would need a two-thirds majority to remove. So, impeachment and removal are premature at this point, but it is not surprising a vocal minority in the House is pursuing this path against Biden.
Republican Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee believes the president and Vice President Kamala Harris have “weaponized” the government to hide from corruption allegations and for not sufficiently quelling the southern border crisis. Well, yeah. Duh.
Joe Biden Is Allegedly Engaged in ‘Influence Peddling’
Ogles said in his articles that Biden attempted to “shield the business and influence peddling schemes of his family from Congressional oversight and public accountability.”
Ogles recommends Biden and Harris be removed and perhaps banned from holding office again.
Ogle said the pair violated their oath to the Constitution. The president also has attempted to cover up his “illicit family business dealings,” and Biden has “abused power.”
Ogles’ articles of impeachment come as the GOP members of the House Oversight Committee claim they have found evidence in an FBI document that purports to show that Biden and his son Hunter each received a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian energy firm while the elder Biden was vice president.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa also said on the Senate floor June 12 that there are recordings of Biden and his son made with an executive at Burisma, the company in question, showing evidence that the payments were made. This would ostensibly be compensation for policies enacted with the help of Biden that would create a favorable business environment for Burisma.
It is not clear if Ogles is acting in concert with other Republican lawmakers in the House or if Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gave his blessing to Ogles’ action.
Ogles Has Pursued Potential Biden Impeachment for Months
Moreover, Ogles said that the president has no respect for the rule of law.
During the situation at the border, Biden is allegedly acting in a “manner contrary to the public trust and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”
Ogles said during his 2022 re-election campaign that he would fight to impeach Biden and Harris.
Ogles Said Kamala Harris Is Incompetent
Ogles also thinks that Harris has exhibited “extraordinary incompetence” during her lack of effort to reduce the level of illegal immigration.
