Republicans within the Home of Representatives wish to take away Kamala Harris from workplace
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee has initiated impeachment proceedings against Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
Rep. Ogles wants to impeach Harris for her failure to visit the country's southern border. “Kamala Devi Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the performance of her duties and responsibilities, has flatly refused to comply with existing immigration laws, and has shown palpable indifference to the people of the United States suffering from the ongoing crisis at the United States' southern border. Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the southern border to assess this ongoing national crisis, except for a single trip hundreds of miles from the epicenter of the migrant crisis.”
Ogles' articles of impeachment allege that Harris failed to comply with the country's immigration laws, thereby committing a high crime and misdemeanor.
If this all sounds familiar, it should be.
This is the same trick that Republicans in the House tried to use when they tried to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. The article of impeachment against Mayorkas was thrown into the Senate trash can after the Senate discovered that the House had presented articles of impeachment that contained no charge.
The impeachment of Vice President Harris is a blatant abuse of power. But if Republicans in the House are desperate enough, it should come as no surprise that they seriously seek to remove Harris from office.
Since the vice president is unknown in much of the country, there is a race between the two parties to define her.
Donald Trump has no arguments against Kamala Harris and Republicans in the House of Representatives are desperately trying to give him some arguments.
