House speaker plans to send impeachment articles against the Homeland Security secretary to the Senate on April 10 cnn.it/4acIGzA
@cnnbrk Mike Johnson is about as useful as an unpaid intern in the idiot factory.
@cnnbrk I see the invasion crisis at the border is forcing them to rush on their February 13th impeachment.
@cnnbrk Praying for a blessed day for everyone reading this 🙏 ❤️

Speaker Mike Johnson informed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that the House will send the impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10, according to a letter obtained by CNN, the next step in having an impeachment trial in the upper chamber. Schumer’s office responded to the letter saying senators will be sworn in as jurors on April 11. The House impeached Mayorkas on February 13 by an extremely narrow margin, making him the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in almost 150 years. House Republicans impeached Mayorkas last month after failing to do so on their first try, a stunning loss that came about after GOP defections and absence sank the initial floor vote. Republicans have sought to use the impeachment of Mayorkas’ to spotlight the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border, as the conference has faced building pressure from their base to hold President Joe Biden and his departments and agencies accountable over immigration and border security policies. The Democratic-controlled Senate is not expected to convict Mayorkas, and senators could move to quickly dismiss the impeachment, though Schumer has not outlined specifically how his chamber will handle the trial. Schumer said last month that Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray will preside over the proceedings.
@cnnbrk I wish he had sent the articles of impeachment of another group from the House of Representatives to the Senate!
