Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives launch impeachment campaign, targeting Homeland Secretary

According to a CNN report on the 18th, senior Republicans who have just taken control of the House of Representatives are moving quickly to prepare to impeach US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorcas. However, Republican moderates still have doubts about the impeachment of Mayorkas. According to CNN, the impeachment of a cabinet minister is very rare. This situation has only happened once in American history-in 1876, then Secretary of War William Belknap was impeached by the House of Representatives, but was later acquitted by the Senate . | Related reading (Global Times)

After retaking the House of Representatives, the Republicans took action intensively. This time, the impeachment of Biden’s cabinet minister, Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, is only the first step. The purpose is very clear, which is to “point at” Biden. And this rare procedure may trigger a strong backlash from Republican moderates. It is extremely rare for a cabinet minister to be impeached, and it has only happened once in American history.

Next, McCarthy will take it step by step, and will soon launch investigations into corruption between Biden’s second son Hunter and Ukrainian energy conglomerates. Then the various House committees will definitely continue to dig into everything that Biden has been involved in for two years: the government’s dereliction of duty in the Afghan war, whether there was vote fraud, and the FBI’s forced search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, etc.

Finally, it must be the ultimate move: the impeachment of Biden. At present, the extreme right wing of the Republican Party is planning to impeach Biden, but the moderates have not made up their minds. But this move is also a risky move. According to the political laws of the United States, if the impeachment of the president fails, it may have a counterproductive impact on the next mid-term election or general election.
