A push by some House Republicans to impeach President Biden has become the latest headache for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy caused by conservative hardliners.
— against Mr. Biden on Tuesday as a privileged resolution, fast-tracking its consideration under House rules by circumventing the normal committee process. The articles focus on the president's handling of the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration.
"She had never told members about it or never talked to me," McCarthy told reporters."Before you put something forward, shouldn't you first talk to the conference about it? Because we're doing investigations. Why would you do this?" McCarthy said the Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee investigations into Mr. Biden and his family should be allowed to play out before potential articles of impeachment are introduced. Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said Boebert is"undermining the team," and he expects the resolution will be tabled.
Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee said Mr. Biden should be impeached but the process should start in committee. Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota also wants to see it"go through regular order."
